Fast Fixes for Freak Dental Accidents

FivePeopleAccidents happen. Skokie cosmetic dentist, Dr. Brent A. Engelberg has heard his fair share of unusual stories to explain dental turmoil. While an emergency can befall you out of nowhere, fast, furious, and shocking, there are many quick fixes for cosmetic dental issues as well. These are cases when fast does not mean lower quality. The techniques simply allow for expedient service, which is great news for a patient who wants their smile fixed as quickly as possible.

Bond with your Solutions

Imagine you chip your tooth in a freak accident while playing baseball with your kids or taking an unexpected tumble down your stairs. Teeth are strong and can hold up to a good deal of impact. When a chip does occur, you don’t necessarily require a major overhaul to your smile. Dental bonding utilizes composite-resin material which is bonded to the chipped area. The material is shaped and then hardened with a curing light. To top off the simple and quick bonding procedure, Dr. Engelberg will file and polish your tooth to match all of your surrounding pearly whites.

Damage Cover Up

Porcelain veneers offer huge results in as little as two appointments. Thin ceramic shells are placed over your damaged teeth. Porcelain covers up multiple dental issues all at once, and is very tooth-like in appearance. The translucence of porcelain reflects light in a very similar way to natural teeth. This quality makes porcelain a frequently used material for cosmetic dental work. Not only does porcelain closely mimic the way natural smiles appear, but it’s amazingly durable for something so delicate in appearance. Any significant cracks, chips, fractures, or breaks are quickly and efficiently remedied with porcelain dental veneers.
