I . ENAMEL & DENTIN FRACTURE 

                                                                                                              

   TREATMENT : 

                                1.COMPOSITE RESTORATION (filling)

       If the tooth has broken till the enamel or dentin level, the dentist will often fix the broken tooth with a filling. This will protect and restore the strength of the tooth.

     For areas of your mouth that are visible when you smile, it may be preferable to bond the tooth. The dentist uses a special resin that adheres to the broken tooth. It is shaped and matched to the color of your other teeth. An ultraviolet light is used to set the resin and harden it. The end result is a repaired tooth that looks natural and healthy.

    

                                                                  2.VENEERS

                     When there are cosmetic concerns, the best solution is a porcelain veneer. Especially if the front tooth was broken, a veneer can repair the tooth while ensuring that your smile looks great. Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain that are shaped and colored to match your other teeth perfectly. They can be fixed to the front of the broken tooth once it has been properly treated.
