Properly cared for teeth can last a lifetime, but teeth are fragile and even a small accident like biting down on a seed or piece of bone or stone fruit can result in permanent damage, detracting from the beauty of your smile as well as causing a host of serious dental problems over time.
Depending on the nature of the extent of the injury to the tooth, The Dentist at Burwood can use a range of modern dental techniques to restore your stunning smile including white composite fillings veneers, crowns, bridges and implants.
White Composite Fillings
For mild to moderate damage of the tooth and where the nerve or pulp has not been exposed, then often the tooth can be restored to its original shape and colour quite well with simple white composite fillings. These fill in the missing parts of the tooth and bond to the remaining parts of the tooth. If done carefully and skillfully can be made to look most natural.
