Treatment Methods for a Broken Front Tooth (Broken Front Tooth)

When a front tooth is broken

Treatment methods for a cracked front tooth

Resin / Laminate / Crown / Implant

Front teeth are one of the key elements of appearance,

as they are the first thing people see

every time you open your mouth.

Even when you open your mouth only a little,

if there is a crack in a front tooth,

if the front teeth are spaced apart,

if the front teeth are crooked,

if the front teeth are discolored,

or if the front teeth are uneven like a pinking shear,

all of the other person's attention is drawn to the front teeth.

Front teeth are often said to be teeth you should not even bite off ramen with.

If a problem occurs, how should it be treated?

The concept of front teeth

The teeth called front teeth

are the total of 8 anterior teeth in the maxilla and mandible,

including the central incisors and lateral incisors.

Unlike canines, premolars, and molars,

these teeth are smaller and thinner, so they are easy to break,

which is why people are warned that you should not even bite off ramen with them,

you should not even bite into ice cream,

you should not chew hard foods,

and so on.

Despite taking care,

unexpected accidents or trauma

can still cause a front tooth to break.

Or during the tooth-development period in childhood,

they may become spaced apart, crooked, or uneven.

Treatment methods for a broken front tooth

In addition to cracked front teeth,

there are various treatment methods for

gaps, misalignment, discoloration, uneven shape, and more.

To decide on a treatment method,

the following four factors are considered:

• The extent of the tooth fracture

Whether the tooth is loose

Whether there is nerve damage to the tooth

Whether there is loss of alveolar bone

Based on these four factors,

the treatment method changes to

Resin / Laminate / Crown / Implant

Resin treatment method

Resin is also used for cavities, tooth gaps, and sealing tooth grooves,

and is a restorative material with high adhesive strength and a tooth-like color.

A cracked front tooth that meets all four of the following conditions:

The fracture extent is limited to the enamel

The tooth is not loose

There is no nerve damage to the tooth

There is no loss of alveolar bone

can be treated relatively simply on the same day.

Laminate treatment method

Laminate, also used for tooth shaping, tooth dwarfism, and enamel hypoplasia,

is a procedure in which a ceramic artificial tooth is bonded on top of a natural tooth.

A cracked front tooth that meets all four of the following conditions:

The fracture extent is into the dentin

The tooth is not loose

There is no nerve damage to the tooth

There is no loss of alveolar bone

can be treated with Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic's 7-day airnate.

Crown treatment method

A crown, also used for severe cavities and implants,

is a prosthesis that is placed over a tooth and bonded in place.

A cracked front tooth that meets all four of the following conditions:

The fracture extent goes beyond the dentin

The tooth is not loose

There is nerve damage to the tooth

There is no loss of alveolar bone

requires a one-week period to fabricate the prosthesis,

and if there is nerve damage, root canal treatment is also performed.

Implant treatment method

An implant, used for extracted teeth,

is a surgery that directly fixes an artificial tooth shaped like a natural tooth

into the jawbone.

A cracked front tooth that falls under any of the following four conditions:

The fracture extent requires extraction

The tooth is loose

There is nerve damage to the tooth

There is loss of alveolar bone

requires 6 months from extraction to implant fabrication and connection,

and if the alveolar bone condition is good, same-day treatment is also possible.

Treatment methods near Gangnam Station

As you can see, a cracked front tooth requires an accurate diagnosis of

the extent of the fracture,

whether it is loose,

whether there is nerve damage,

and whether there is loss of alveolar bone,

and then an appropriate treatment plan must be provided accordingly.

In addition to the treatment plan,

a procedure and surgical process with unique technology and know-how

that can preserve both aesthetics and function is also necessary.

At Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic,

you can receive integrated care from a specialist in conservative dentistry and integrated dentistry for basic treatment,

a prosthodontist for no-prep laminate, crowns, and implants,

and an orthodontist who can also address gaps or misaligned teeth,

and without extra consultation fees for doctors who trained as professors at Severance.
