Fractured front teeth are unsightly. The broken teeth are uneven and have a negative effect on your appearance. Depending on how large the fracture, there are several restorative options.

Before jumping into treatment, however, our doctors first want to know why your teeth are breaking.

avulsed or knocked-out tooth is totally removed from its socket, root and all. A chipped tooth is a broken tooth where some of the tooth remains in the socket while the remainder is broken off. Preliminary indications are that Save-A-Tooth® System will help maintain the color of the chip (prevent browning of the chip) and prevent the tooth chip from becoming brittle thus enhancing the possibility of the tooth chip being re-attached with good aesthetic results.

Yes! Bonding is typically painless and can yield dramatic results in a single office visit. Essentially, bonding hides any natural flaws through the placement of a thin plastic coating on the front surface of the teeth. After treating the tooth surface, a putty-like bonding material is applied that is then sculpted, shaped and colored to suit the patient's needs. A high-intensity light causes the plastic to harden after which the new surface is smoothed and polished.

Cosmetic bonding is an affordable, quick and painless way to repair many cosmetic flaws or injuries, including: Dental bonding sculpts individual teeth without requiring removal of any tooth structure. This technique bonds a composite material that looks, acts and feels like the real thing, to an existing tooth. This procedure usually doesn’t require the use of an anesthetic; is relatively quick to apply; gives an immediate result and is less expensive than veneers.

In most cases yes - Bonding is a procedure in which a composite resin filling material is applied to fill areas that are discolored, chipped or unevenly spaced. Alternatively, Porcelain veneers are designed to look like your natural teeth and are individually and permanently attached to the fronts of your existing teeth.

Most likely your pet is not comfortable, whether or not you can see it. The nerve within the tooth has been damaged and your pet will experience acute pain at the time of injury. This pain will become a dull ache after a few days. Pets often hide their pain; others express their discomfort in various ways:

Rinse dirt from the injured area with warm water. Place cold compresses over the face in the area of the injury. Locate and save any broken tooth fragments. A small amount of orthodontic wax or sugarless gum can be placed over the rough edge until the dentist can be reached. Immediate dental attention is necessary.

All parents should take note of these guidelines. It could save your child's teeth. Always remember to try and stay calm, as this is the first and most important way to help your child in case of emergency. Locate the tooth and check that there is no obvious damage to the root. The patient should lick the tooth clean (providing there is not too much trauma and blood). Alternatively the tooth can be washed in plain milk.

Leave the space or gap. The problem here is that other teeth move or tilt into the space and the bite is altered. When it is in the front of the mouth, leaving the gap is usually not acceptable to most people. A removable plastic or metal-based partial denture is relatively inexpensive but also often not acceptable because it can be removed. A denture can damage adjacent teeth, especially if it is poorly fitting.

Depending on the bleaching treatment selected, some are performed in Dr. Bodnar’s office using a bleaching system such as laser bleaching. These methods lighten teeth instantly. The same results may be obtained more economically through supervised home bleaching, but take longer to achieve. Some bleaching systems, which bleach your teeth while you sleep, work in 10 to 14 days. Others bleach your teeth from two to four hours a day requiring three to six weeks to complete.

Just like with humans, infected gums and teeth aren't just a problem in the mouth for dogs and cats. Your pet's heart, kidneys, lungs, intestinal tract, and joints may also become infected. The tartar and any infected areas of the mouth contain a multitude of bacteria than can 'seed' to other parts of the body. Providing your pet with regular dental care will help prevent some of these more serious side effects.

It will have a different shape and will usually be shorter than the same tooth on the other side of the mouth. A broken tooth may have a jagged edge. A damaged tooth, whether broken or not, may be discolored and be a pink, purple, grey or tan shade.

The advantage is that forefoot correction works throughout the full gait cycle. It is simple and uses small dimensions so there is no need for bulky supports. Proprioceptive forefoot correction immediately changes the gait from heel strike to toe off. People that walk with flared feet (duck walk) will notice how their feet immediately start pointing more forward. Over time they may normalize completely. The same applies to straightening a "pigeon toed" walk.

There is of course a simple answer. It is Michael's will, but I know you are desiring some more detailed explanation. Many events have occurred in conjunction: the final adjudication of the Lucifer rebellion, the opening of your planetary circuits, and the will of Michael to bring his beloved world back into the realms of light, from the darkness into which it was cast."
