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.

Have you heard of ‘fibremaxxing’? 🌿

It may be a new buzzword, but eating more fibre has been important for years. Our latest blog explains why fibre is essential not only for digestion, but also for mood, energy, gut health and oral health too.

✨ Only around 4% of adults are thought to hit the recommended daily fibre target
✨ Small changes can make a big difference
✨ Diversity of plant foods is often the easiest place to start

If you’re curious about how to improve your health in a simple, sustainable way, this blog is for you.

Can chipped teeth be fixed without braces? In this latest Two Thirty episode, Carol explains that the answer depends on why the tooth chipped in the first place.

Sometimes teeth chip because of the way they meet or their position. In these cases, orthodontic treatment may be recommended to move the teeth into a healthier position and help prevent further damage.

For many chips, a simple and effective option is composite bonding - carefully adding tooth-coloured material to rebuild the shape and restore your smile.

Bleeding gums are never something to ignore. In this latest Two Thirty episode, Richard explains how gum disease often starts as gingivitis - where the gums become swollen and may bleed - but with the right care, this early stage can often be reversed.

If left untreated, gum disease can progress and may lead to bone loss around the teeth. The good news is that regular hygiene visits and good home care can make a real difference.

Watch the video to learn the signs to look out for and how we can help you maintain a healthy smile.

Lottie told us she never used to show her teeth when she smiled.

After completing her Invisalign treatment with Yasmin, she now loves smiling with confidence and showing her teeth.

We’re so pleased to have been part of her journey - and grateful for her lovely recommendation of Evolve Dentistry.

If you’ve been hiding your smile, we’d love to help. Message us to book a consultation.
