Broken teeth, especially in the front, cause a lot of anxiety in our patients. Our team understands it can affect your self-esteem, ability to chew, smile and even the social aspects of your life. We take the cosmetic appearance of your front teeth very seriously. Our goal is to make your teeth look as natural as possible. Here are some of the best options for fixing broken teeth.
- Tooth-colored fillings: Our dentist may recommend tooth-colored fillings or white fillings to fix your broken tooth when you have a dental emergency. Depending on the size of the breakage, resin or composite fillings can work beautifully and restore your function and smile.
- Dental crown: Has your dentist recommended a crown for your broken tooth? If your tooth is broken at a severe level, Dr. JD Desai at Lavista Park Family Dentistry can restore your tooth with a porcelain crown either made of full zirconia or pure porcelain, depending on the situation. Crowns are an extremely popular treatment that helps patients keep their own teeth. Dental crowns can provide you with beautiful esthetics, strength and function for your dentition. We make custom crowns for each of our patients making sure they are functional and cosmetically pleasing. We also provide custom shade matching with our digital scanner to keep the cosmetics as ideal as possible.
Are Root Canals Painful?
Your dentist in Tucker, GA, Dr. JD Desai at Lavista Park Family Dentistry, has been providing excellent dental care to patients in Tucker, Atlanta, North Druid Hills and the Stone Mountain area. We work with our patients to help them keep their own teeth. A root canal is the most common way to save decayed, painful, or infected teeth. Saving your own tooth is more cost-effective than dental implants!
Are root canals painful? This is the most common question asked. Root canal therapy, also referred to as endodontics, involves removing the diseased tissue, cleaning, shaping and disinfection within the tooth structure. Disinfection is completed with mechanical and chemical removal of infected tissue inside your tooth.
Here at Lavista Park Family Dentistry, we are proud to offer 100% pain-free root canal therapy. Dr. Desai and his team make sure the right type of anesthesia is used in a healthy and sufficient amount to make sure your procedure is painless. We perform nerve blocks to ensure the tooth is sufficiently numb during the procedure. We also use special mechanical instruments that speed up the process, while providing great results.
Dr. JD Desai also uses the help of advanced CBCT imaging (3D) imaging of your tooth to determine the shape and anatomy of your tooth for a pain-free root canal experience. Studies have shown that knowing the shape and anatomy of your tooth in 3D drastically increases the chances of root canal success. We are proud to offer advanced imaging along with 2D dental X-rays to make sure you receive the best clinical care and outcome.
What are the signs of needing a root canal?
- Pain to hot and cold temperature food.
- Waking up at night due to throbbing or an aching tooth.
- Pain upon pressure on the tooth.
- Abscess or draining around the tooth.
