Dr. O takes a few moments to share how to best address a broken tooth. Often times when a tooth is broken, there are significant conditions that caused this emergency condition. Teeth don't just break without significant issues in the unless there is something going wrong with the overall function of the bite and balance of the mouth. If a broken tooth is addressed with expensive dentistry without first determining the underlying cause, the patient will be likely doomed to face further costly and annoying problems. Dr. O explains the importance of a proper examination and thorough diagnosis of the underlying condition or conditions that lead to the breaking of the tooth. Usually teeth break due to overload from missing teeth, from weakened teeth from abnormal wear due to misaligned teeth , or a combination of the two.
In order to determine the cause of the broken tooth, proper bite photos and a Cone Beam CT 3D Xray should be used to evaluate the total system. It will be helpful to choose a dentist that has experience in both aligning teeth and replacing missing teeth to help determine if these treatments will be necessary to prevent further damage to your remaining teeth.
Ultimately, before having a expensive quick fix to address one broken tooth, make certain that the overall health of the mouth will support your investment and be worth your hard earned dollar. Invisalign and dental implants are a great solution to the underlying cause of broken teeth and an office that offers both will give you a better outcome to your beautiful smile!
