Your Six Best Treatment Options for a Chipped Tooth

September 26, 2018

Smiling Patient in Dental Chair After Chipped Tooth Repair Marietta GA

Chipping or cracking a tooth can be terrifying. Fortunately, Marietta chipped tooth repair includes a variety of treatment options for you to choose from.

1. Dental Bonding

The first and most common solution for chipped teeth is some simple dental bonding. This is a procedure where our Marietta restorative dentist patches a small amount of tooth-colored filling material to your tooth to fill in the empty space. There are no drills or anesthesia involved.

2. Composite Dental Fillings

You will likely need a filling if your tooth chipped due to a cavity. Fillings replace the structure lost to decay and tend to last longer than bonding.

3. Dental Veneers

A porcelain veneer is an excellent choice if the chip is in a front tooth. Veneers provide a “false front” for teeth so that you can smile with confidence.

4. Inlays and Onlays

What if the chip in your tooth is too big for a filling and too small for a crown? Get an inlay or onlay. These tooth-colored restorations come in solid pieces just like caps, except they only replace the broken part of your tooth instead of covering all of it.

5. Dental Crowns

For those teeth that are missing large areas, a dental crown is usually the way to go. Crowns enhance the strength and beauty of chipped teeth.

6. Root Canals

A root canal removes the nerve of a tooth to prevent it from becoming infected. You may only need this procedure if the damage was deep enough to compromise the nerve.

Dr. Buffington has to be the kindest, most patient dentist in the world. The staff is amazingly attentive, non-judgemental and offers a very comforting experience. I appreciate how patient they are with me, a 44-year old that still cries and would rather give birth (without medication) than have dental work. I hope you catch my drift

I really like Dr. Buffington. She gave me a plan that gives me hope about a TMJ issue. Everyone on the staff was professional and seemed genuinely caring. I would highly recommend the office.

It’s a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and they don’t try to sell you on things you don’t need.

I highly recommend this dental practice. They took prompt and amazing care of me to address a TMJ episode. Dr. Buffington and all employees I encountered were professional, friendly, caring and knowledgeable. They set me on the path of recovery and have earned my respect and business going forward. How refreshing to engage with a business that truly understands customer service.

I absolutely love this dental experience. I used to dread having to make dental trips but since finding this office 4 years ago that took the dread away. From making the appointment, to visiting with the office staff. It's great. The Hygienist is very friendly. But that Dr. O,
she is a ray of sunshine. Perfect bedside manner, concerning, caring, helpful, and so very positive. I do not have dental insurance and could go somewhere else that may be a tad cheaper but I wouldn't trade this dental office for the world. They feel more like family. Give them a try you won't regret it!

I have been a patient here for many years. I’ve always had positive experiences. I especially like the Dental Hygenist “Callie”. She is just the best, always smiling and cheerful, just what you need at the Dentist. She is very experienced and I’ve learned a lot from her. All the Staff is very nice and polite and Dr Buffington is great also. I’ve had a lot of dental work done by her and never had a problem. She is very gentle and painless too!
