Suffering from Missing or Chipped Teeth?

For dental patients in Northern Virginia and across the country, losing the ability to smile with confidence due to chipped or missing teeth can really put a damper on your self-esteem. Fortunately, there are various dental techniques that can restore your smile to its natural beauty and function, including crowns, veneers and dental implants.

Teeth can easily chip due to tooth decay, accidents or grinding, but chipped teeth can be restored using dental crowns. The crown is installed directly on top of the chipped tooth to both cover and protect it. Crowns are an effective option for almost any chipped tooth, and they are custom-made to match your natural teeth.

Chipped teeth can also be made-over using dental veneers. Made from composite resin or porcelain, veneers are a durable, long-lasting and attractive solution that can restore your smile. In addition to boosting your beauty, veneers can also protect and strengthen your natural teeth. The smooth surface of veneers are also more resistant to plaque, which can cause gum disease.

Missing teeth can be replaced by dental implants, which are inserted directly into the structure of the gum. A crown is then placed on top of the implant to fill in the space left by missing teeth. Each implant and crown is individually designed, making implants indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

These options are all effective ways to restore your confidence, protect your teeth and restore your smile to its natural beauty. With dental crowns, veneers and implants, you will never have to hide your smile due to chipped or missing teeth again.
