Problems We Solve
I Have Cracked Teeth
Various factors, such as biting down on hard foods, grinding your teeth, or experiencing an injury, can lead to a cracked tooth. Cracked teeth compromise your oral health and confidence. Our dental practice offers outstanding treatments to effectively repair damaged teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. We’re committed to revitalising your smile using advanced techniques that deliver lasting results.
Occlusal Splint (Nightguard)
Occlusal splints can significantly reduce the risk of cracked teeth for patients who have been identified with a night grinding habit. An occlusal splint, also known as a nightguard, is a custom-made hard acrylic device that is placed over the surfaces of the upper or lower teeth.
This device promotes stability of the temporomandibular joint, reduces muscle hyperactivity, and alleviates pain associated with temporomandibular dysfunction. This device also helps to evenly distribute the massive biting force across the entire arch of dentition rather than on a single tooth, which is one of the main factors that lead to cracked teeth.
Dental Ceramic Overlay
A dental overlay is like a mini dental crown. It is made of durable ceramic material to provide partial coverage restorations that are bonded over the prepared tooth surface. The ceramic overlay can withstand the heavy biting force to stop a crack from spreading and prevent complete tooth fracture.
Crowns: Comprehensive Protection and Restoration
A dental crown, also known as a cap, fully encases a cracked tooth, preventing further damage and restoring its functionality. Typically made of porcelain or a combination of porcelain and other restorative materials, crowns become the new outer layer of your tooth. Here’s what crowns can do:
- Restore chipped, decayed, discoloured, broken, or misaligned teeth
- Anchor bridges or cover dental implants
- Provide same-day restoration with on-site technology, often within two hours
With proper care, crowns can last many years, ensuring long-term protection and aesthetic appeal.
