Is a broken tooth a dental emergency?
A chipped or broken tooth is not necessarily a dental emergency unless the patient is in severe pain or bleeding. However, it is important to contact a dentist immediately after the incident for an appointment. It is advisable to check the extent of the damage, whether it is a partial chip or full breakage.
Restorations are done to restore the shape and function of single or multiple teeth damaged due to dental decay, fractures or abrasions. There are various methods to restore a tooth depending on the depth and extend of damage, area covered, location on the tooth etc.
Tooth Colored Fillings

Crowns
Crowns are full covering to the tooth with weak structure and low strength. They are made of Tooth Colored materials like Emax, Zirconia or Ceramic coated metal crowns or metal alloys.
Veneers
Veneer is a thin layer of ceramic which is cemented to the visible areas of the tooth to mask discolorations, fractures, gaps, fractures, and to redesign teeth and smile.
