Dental injuries can turn a healthy smile into one that urgently requires oral health care. In other words, this sudden and often painful problem can make treatment necessary, often on short notice. At our Columbia, TN dentist's office, we are prepared to help when patients come to us with this kind of issue. Whether you have superficial damage that you want to address with cosmetic treatment or a severe injury that requires more advanced care, we can provide treatment that lets you maintain your oral health and appearance!
What Will It Take To Restore Your Injured Tooth?
Dental injuries vary in severity. For one person, treatment through cosmetic work is all that needs to take place. However, another patient with physical damage may need to have a more involved restorative procedure to save their tooth. When you come in for a procedure, we can carefully assess your injury to determine the most conservative approach we can take in order to provide lasting results. We should also note that we are prepared to help patients who need our support on short notice, as we do provide emergency services for our patients.
Dealing With Cosmetic Problems From Dental Damage
Any "minor" chip or crack in your tooth should be evaluated, as you may not realize just how serious the harm to your enamel might be. With an evaluation, we can look for warning signs that the problem is more serious than you initially realize. We can also confirm that cosmetic dental work is all that a patient requires. If this is the case for your tooth, we can use a conservative dental veneer to cover up the problem and restore your appearance. A veneer will only cover the front surface of a tooth, which means it will leave much of the structure unchanged.
Addressing Problems With Significant Injuries
A more severe injury to your tooth can be painful as well as a significant concern for your appearance. If you feel concerned about the damage, you can reach out to us to arrange an emergency oral health appointment. Doing so can do more than just shorten the time it takes to restore your smile: By meeting with us as soon as possible, you can make sure that your tooth is cared for before complications affect it. We may need to provide root canal therapy to address internal damage before we can proceed to restore the structure with a dental crown.
