How to Correct Chipped Teeth

Having a chipped tooth can take its toll on your smile and your self-confidence. It can also change the way you bite and chew.

In the past, the only type of bonding materials that dentists had available to help chipped teeth was not very natural-looking. You could tell the tooth had been repaired.

Now, Los Angeles cosmetic dentist, Dr. Dell Goodrick can offer you the natural-looking beauty of porcelain veneers to cover a chipped tooth and help you get your smile back.

Porcelain veneers are a beautiful solution for improving the look of chipped teeth (and even broken, stained or crooked teeth, too.) Porcelain, or cosmetic, veneers are very thin, ceramic, glass-like shells that are bonded to the front of your teeth and customized to the color, shape and size of your other teeth.

Because porcelain veneers are translucent, they mimic the way tooth enamel looks and reacts to light, providing a completely natural look and luster, as if your tooth was never chipped or damaged in any way.

Dr. Goodrick performs dental bonding, which is called “Chairside Veneers.” This procedure is part of the requirements to be accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD).

Benefits of Porcelain Veneers for Chipped Teeth

In addition to the natural look they offer, porcelain veneers are also:

• Strong, durable and long-lasting
• Stain resistant
• Preserve a large amount of natural tooth enamel and structure
• Protect the tooth surface of a tooth and can, in some cases, replace the need for a dental crown
• Can even provide additional strength to the overall tooth and surrounding teeth
• Can be used on both upper and lower teeth
• Can be easily applied in just two or three office appointments
