Repairing damaged teeth – your options explained

At Evolve Dentistry in Portishead, we often see patients with damaged teeth – teeth that have been chipped, cracked, worn down, discoloured, or affected by decay. These issues can affect your confidence, oral health, and the way your teeth function. The good news is that modern dentistry offers several ways to restore damaged teeth, including composite bonding, dental fillings, and dental crowns. Here’s what you need to know.

What is composite bonding?

Composite bonding is one of the most popular treatments we offer for fixing damaged teeth. It involves applying a tooth-colored resin to repair imperfections, restore shape, and improve the appearance of your smile.

Common uses for composite bonding include:

  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Teeth worn down by grinding or erosion
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Minor discolouration

Benefits of composite bonding:

  • Quick and minimally invasive – often completed in one visit
  • Matches the colour of your natural teeth
  • Preserves most of your natural tooth structure
  • Cost-effective compared to crowns

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are used to repair teeth that are damaged by decay or minor fractures. They restore the tooth’s function and prevent further deterioration.

Benefits:

  • Protects against further decay
  • Maintains the tooth’s structure
  • Quick and minimally invasive

Dental Crowns and Inlays

Dental crowns are a strong, long-lasting solution for teeth that are extensively damaged or weakened. A crown completely covers the tooth, restoring strength, shape, and appearance.

Benefits of crowns:

  • Provides maximum protection for heavily damaged teeth
  • Can improve aesthetics, especially for front teeth
  • Durable and long-lasting

Choosing the right treatment

The best treatment depends on the type and extent of damage:

  • Minor chips, gaps, or cosmetic issues: Composite bonding is usually ideal.
  • Small areas of decay or minor fractures: Fillings can be sufficient.
  • Extensive damage, cracked teeth, or after root canal treatment: Crowns provide superior strength.

At Evolve Dentistry in Portishead, our experienced team will assess your teeth and recommend the most suitable solution for lasting results.

Caring for your restored teeth

Proper care ensures your dental work lasts:

  • Brush twice daily and floss regularly
  • Attend regular dental check-ups
  • Avoid biting hard objects that could damage your restorations

Don’t let damaged teeth affect your smile. Early treatment preserves your teeth and restores confidence.
