Broken Teeth

in Philadelphia, PA

Broken teeth can be fixed with tooth-colored fillings. There are many ways to fix broken teeth. Tooth-colored fillings are safe, look natural, and make a tooth strong and durable.

At Dentistry for Life in Philadelphia white fillings for broken teeth are offered as a part of our general dentistry and restorative dentistry treatments. Schedule an appointment with our Philadelphia dentists to discuss the best dental restoration for your broken teeth.

Types of White Fillings in Philadelphia

A filling may not be the first solution you think of when you have a broken tooth, but this dental restoration is one of the most effective repairs. White fillings blend in with your teeth while protecting them from damage in the future.

There are several types of dental fillings that preserve your white smile and fix a broken tooth:

  • Composite fillings: A composite filling is intended to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible, which is important when your enamel is broken. The color of the resin filling is customized to match the color of your natural tooth enamel and the material is strong and long-lasting.
  • Porcelain fillings: Strong, stain-resistant, and natural-looking, porcelain fillings are a sure way to help a broken tooth resist further wear and tear. They strengthen rather than weaken a tooth, protecting it from future damage.
  • Porcelain inlay or onlay: If your tooth is broken on the top, a porcelain inlay may be enough to protect it from breaking down even further. A porcelain onlay, often referred to as a partial crown, is also made of a porcelain filling and covers the top of the tooth while also extending over one or more of the tooth’s cusps.

When you have a broken tooth, the last thing you want to do is draw more attention to it with an obvious dental repair like a silver filling. Amalgam fillings are not only unsightly, they contain trace amounts of mercury which are dangerous to your health. Some patients even ask to have their silver fillings carefully removed and replaced with composite fillings, so their smile looks healthy and complete.

Whatever dental restoration is used to repair your broken tooth, we always opt for a functional and aesthetically appealing solution that not only makes your tooth strong, but makes it look natural too.

Tooth Fillings Philadelpha

Fix a Broken Tooth with Tooth-Colored Fillings

Fillings are a versatile cosmetic dentistry repair and restorative dentistry repair. They are used for far more than just repairing a cavity and, in particular, prevent teeth from further deterioration or breakage. Opting for a filling when you have a broken tooth can eliminate the need for more invasive dental repairs.

Thanks to white fillings, a smile makeover doesn’t have to be lengthy or in-depth to be life-changing. Fixing that one broken tooth that is causing you discomfort, stress, and embarrassment is enough to make you want to smile all the time. Fixing multiple broken teeth that are making you look and feel old will rejuvenate you and complete your smile, so it looks natural and healthy.
