At Seaham Smiles, we’re committed to restoring your teeth with precision and care. Whether you’ve experienced minor damage or need a more complex repair, our expert team is here to help you regain full function and confidence in your smile.

Why Might I Need Tooth Repair?

Teeth can become damaged due to decay, wear and tear, injury, or cosmetic concerns like chips or cracks. Repairing a tooth helps restore its strength, function, and appearance – preventing further damage and preserving your natural smile.

What can I expect during a tooth repair appointment?

We’ll begin with a thorough examination to determine the extent of the damage. Depending on your needs, treatment options may include fillings, dental bonding, crowns, inlays, or veneers. We focus on providing durable, natural-looking repairs that blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

Am I a candidate for tooth repair?

If you have a chipped, cracked, worn, or decayed tooth, you’re likely a good candidate for repair. We’ll assess your oral health and recommend the best solution to restore the tooth’s integrity and appearance.

What are the risks of tooth repair?

Tooth repair is generally safe and effective. Minor risks may include sensitivity, potential for further damage if the underlying issue isn’t addressed, or the need for future replacement of a restoration. We minimise risks through careful planning and the use of high-quality materials.

Is tooth repair painful?

Most tooth repairs are minimally invasive and performed under local anaesthetic, ensuring a comfortable experience. Some sensitivity may follow the procedure, particularly with deeper restorations, but it typically subsides within a few days.

Will the repair be noticeable?

No—our goal is to make the repair look as natural as possible. We use materials that match the colour and shape of your natural teeth, so the result is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

How long does a tooth repair last?

The longevity of a repair depends on the type of restoration, the location of the tooth, and your oral hygiene habits. With proper care, many repairs can last for several years or even longer. We’ll guide you on how to maintain your restored tooth for the best results.
