Do you favour one side of your mouth over the other when you chew? Maybe it's painful to chew on one side. Or, perhaps you have a broken tooth, and you're worried about causing further damage. Whatever the case may be, you're now a member of the "I Just Chew on the Other Side" dental club.
But, guess what? There are excellent solutions for this problem! Depending on your needs, we may even be able to restore your smile in just a single visit to our Mirrabooka dental clinic. Here's what you should know.
Diagnosing the Problem
The first step in ending your membership in the "I Just Chew on the Other Side" dental club is to book an evaluation with one of our dentists to determine your needs. Once they diagnose the problem, they can make the best treatment recommendations for your smile. Your treatment plan may include one or more of these treatment procedures:
- Tooth-coloured fillings — If tooth decay is causing your discomfort, a composite tooth-coloured filling can restore it to health without compromising its aesthetics.
- Dental veneers — A porcelain or composite veneer can be ideal for repairing a tooth that's broken or chipped.
- Porcelain crowns — A crown is a great choice when a tooth is damaged beyond what a filling can repair because it covers the tooth completely.
- Root canal treatment — Root canals stop tooth infection and preserve natural tooth structure by eliminating the need for an extraction.
- Tooth extraction — If your tooth is damaged or decayed beyond what a root canal can repair, our dentists may recommend removing it.
- Dental implants — An implant is the gold standard in tooth replacement because it restores your tooth and root.
