Chipped teeth can be repaired in various ways:
- white filling
- veneers
- crowns
Veneers are thin porcelain facets that cover teeth to hide and chips, fractures or discolourations.
The picture below shows a patient of ours who wanted veneers to improve the shape and colour of his teeth. He had 6 anterior veneers and was extremely happy with the results.
Due to programmes like Extreme Makeovers and 10 years younger, porcelain veneers are on high demand by our patients. We get patients coming from all over Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire asking for veneers.
Veneers are thin porcelain facets that are glued onto teeth to mask imperfections. They can hide uneven, crooked or chipped teeth and can also mask tooth discoulouration.
Our award winning dentist, Kal sees many new patients who want veneers to improve the appearance of their teeth. He also sees many patients who are unhappy with the veneers because of poor quality ceramic work. Kal’s patients who have had veneers done by him are ecstatic about the results. These superb results are achieved thanks to Kal’s excellent clinical skills and to the highly skilled lab technician he uses. Our technician is a master ceramist who produces artistic and realistic results in all his work.
An example of veneers done just last week at our practice is shown below.

We get lot of emails from people asking us what is the best treatment for chipped teeth following trauma. We just recently had a patient who had chipped two of her front teeth after falling over whilst shopping in Leicester city centre.
First of all, the most important thing is to inform your dentist of the exact circumstances of the trauma received. If the broken tooth was caused by being hit or by falling over, it is very important that the dentist assesses the tooth and takes an xray if necessary to exclude root fracture and that there is no infection in the root.
once the health of the tooth has been ascertained, we can start thinking about how to restore it.
The options are:
- composite white fillings
-porcelain crowns
We can tell our patients what the most suitable form of treatment is after carrying out the above assessments and the choice of restoration also depends on the extent of the tooth fracture.
