Teeth Veneers Treatment in CTM

A fine crack across a front tooth may start as a thin line you only notice in certain light. For people in CTM, dental veneers can cover the front of a cracked tooth when the damage is limited. Each veneer is a thin shell made for one tooth and bonded to its front surface, where it can also improve colour and shape.

Not every crack is the same. Some affect only the outer enamel, while others run deeper. At Kkeswani Dental & Polyclinic, Dr. Prattik Kkeswani examines the tooth closely before deciding whether a veneer, a crown or another treatment is the safer choice.

Assessing a Cracked Tooth for CTM Patients

The dentist checks where the crack runs, whether the tooth is sensitive and how your teeth meet when you bite. If the crack is shallow and the tooth is otherwise strong, a veneer can cover it and improve its look. If the crack is deep or the tooth is weak, a crown gives more coverage.

A crack in a front tooth sometimes goes along with sensitivity to cold drinks or a sharp feeling when biting. These signs help the dentist judge how deep the crack may be. If the tooth needs other treatment first, that is completed before a veneer is planned. Where several front teeth have fine cracks, each one is looked at separately, since they may not all need the same repair.

The Veneer Process for Cracked Teeth in CTM

• Smile design: The shape and shade of the repaired tooth are planned.
• Minimal preparation: Around 0.3 to 0.5 mm of enamel is prepared under local anaesthesia.
• Protection meanwhile: A temporary veneer covers the tooth until the lab finishes the final one.
• Bonding: The permanent veneer is fixed with a light-cured adhesive, and the bite is adjusted.

Preventing Further Cracks Around CTM

Cracks often start with biting something hard. After treatment, avoid chewing bones, ice or pen tops with your front teeth, and do not use them to open packets. Patients travelling from CTM Cross Roads should keep regular check-ups so the veneer and the tooth underneath can be reviewed. Mention any new sensitivity at these visits.
