Whenever accidents happen, team available 24/7 to respond with cosmetic procedures
If your "church" is the United Center and you worship at the "altar" of the Stanley Cup, chances are you know a little one who dreams of being a Blackhawk one day. Maybe you still dream of hoisting that coveted cup.
Here on earth very few make like Patrick Kane or Jonathan Toews on the ice. Even the most graceful or athletic among us know accidents can happen. In fact, it's estimated as many as 39 percent of dental injuries are sports-related. Around 80 percent of those injuries affect at least one front tooth. There is no hiding such an injury.
Minor chips involve damage to the outer layers of the tooth, including the enamel and darker dentin. These chips may be corrected with dental bonding or veneers.
Severe fractures affect not only the dentin under the enamel but also the pulp or inner, living tooth tissue. Prompt treatment is essential. A root canal procedure may be the only way to save the tooth and avoid extraction. You really don't want to pull your tooth, because the list of complications associated with missing teeth is long and includes a very cosmetic-oriented concern: bone loss makes your face look sunken. A sunken face often looks like an older face.
Big Smile Dental may splint and bond the damaged tooth to adjacent ones for stability, assuring it doesn't become loose and fall out. This also buys time for the underlying bone and gums to heal. A sedative may help manage any pain.
Your tooth may be restored with something as simple as a filling designed to look just like your natural tooth or with a porcelain crown, which is also designed to look and function like natural teeth.
If a tooth is knocked out, Big Smile Dental's emergency services team may still be able to save it. The tooth should be reattached to its socket quickly, as most teeth are saved this way if they are implanted within one hour of the accident. Again, splinting and a root canal procedure may be needed to restore the tooth.
Fractures extending below the gum line or lacking enough structure to hold a crown may result in Big Smile Dental suggesting extraction, followed by a dental bridge or implant to replace the tooth.
Of course, this type of trauma can affect neighboring tissues and bones. It's nothing to mess around with, so it's best to minimize your risk of needing these types of cosmetic procedures with f a mouth guard. Big Smile Dental creates a customized guard to protect your teeth, tongue, and lips from injuries.
Cosmetic procedures aren't prompted merely by progressive conditions that have built up over time. When life throws you a curveball, call Big Smile Dental's same-day emergency team at 773-772-8400.
