Zach Korwin and Gary Toubman are dentist at Cedar Mountain Dental who can assess a patient\u2019s smile and determine the best treatment option available. When it comes to chipped or cracked teeth, patients have a few restorations to choose from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Dental crown<\/strong> \u2013 if a tooth near the back of the mouth, such as a molar, has experienced breakage, the best solution is that of a dental crown. Dental crowns, sometimes referred to as \u201ccaps,\u201d are porcelain restorations that are made to cover the exposed area of the tooth. These are fabricated to the specifications of the patient\u2019s existing teeth to ensure seamless integration.<\/li><li><strong>Porcelain veneers<\/strong> \u2013 for the teeth near the front of the smile, porcelain veneers are often recommended. Veneers are very thin facings made of porcelain that are bonded over the tooth to cover imperfections. These restorations can last many years with proper care and are a great solution for gapped or broken teeth.<\/li><li><strong>Composite resin bonding<\/strong> \u2013 another material that can cover imperfections is composite resin bonding. This clay-like material can be administered onto the surface of the tooth, hardened with a special light, and filed and polished to look exactly like natural tooth enamel. It can be done in one appointment, but does need to be replaced ever few years as it is susceptible to staining.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are you interested in cosmetic restorations available at Cedar Mountain Dental?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Newington, CT are patients who are interested in restorative procedures available with Drs.
