One of my front teeth broke in half last night. What can the dentist do?

One of my front teeth broke in to last night. The top part is still in my gum. I have no pain... so obviously I haven%26#039;t exposed a nerve. I have severe cavities in both of my front teeth, and am in the process of having all my cavities drilled and filled. It broke off right where the cavity was. What can the dentist do? Build a new one? I look terrible and I am lisping really bad. I sound like a snake... and I look like a redneck. Help!!!

Well my dad%26#039;s a dentist and he%26#039;s handled that kind of problem already. He makes a new one. I%26#039;ve seen him do it before. It%26#039;s like getting your cavities filled in but making it just like the shape of the teeth. You don%26#039;t need to get your tooth pulled anyway.. hope this helps..
Reply:they can bond your teeth ....it will look almost new.....or you can get a dental implant....but that%26#039;s way more expensive and painful....the bonding can be done right away
Reply:They can fill the bottom of it. It%26#039;s like putting a cap on the end of what remains of your tooth. You won%26#039;t be able to tell that it%26#039;s been done - it looks really realistic.
Reply:Dentists work wonders with glue these days. My son broke his front teeth when he smashed his face into a curb while trying to master the skateboard. They used some kind of glue to put him back together, and twenty years later, he still has the same teeth, glue and all. Also, you can get those lamineers they are advertising on TV. They make your smile quite beautiful
Reply:Your dentist will probably repair it by putting in a porcelain crown. They usually file the remaining piece of tooth down to a pointy V shape and then adhere the porcelain crown onto the stump. It%26#039;s expensive.
Reply:Yes, they may be able to rebuild it. I broke half of my tooth off when I was 12...they rebuilt it and it lasted until I was 29 then it fell out and I had to replace it. It was painless, but a little bit expensive.
Reply:The dentist can put in a crown, which will require him to drill out the tooth and install a post. He can put in a temporary build up while the crown is being made so you don%26#039;t have the gap.
Reply:go to the dentist the only thing. and you probably going to have some root canal and veneers or jacket done then you can get your good smile back.
Reply:Don%26#039;t worry my friend EJ had the same thing happen to him because a shed came out of nowhere while he was running ad he ran into it any way the dentist just simply glued it back on and it looks like it never happened
Reply:what he%26#039;ll probably do is a root canal and then place a crown over it, your lucky you didn%26#039;t expose a nerve that would hurt, call your dentist to see if he can fit you in right away ... you can%26#039;t leave it like that ... the lisp will go away when your mouth/tongue adjust to the space.
Reply:actually its not a problem at all ....tooth has a pulp if you have exposed pulp the dentist may do a root canal treatment and place a cap on your teeth ...either in acrylic or ceramic ..otherwise the dentist can restore your teeth using a material called composite.
Reply:If you have the tooth keep it and take it with you, it is possible that they can put it back. I have seen results of this. they may make you a new one. It is fixable but may take little time.
Reply:Depending on the health of your teeth, he can make you a temporary tooth or you can have it built up with composite as a temporary step. If the tooth is sound........you will probably have to have a crown lengthening procedure and then a crown. Hopefully, you won%26#039;t need a root canal. It sounds like you are seceptible to decay. That%26#039;s a strange place to get cavities..............do you drink a lot of soft drinks? Might not be a bad idea to get a blood work up.
Reply:Well, you can do a number of things. In my opinion the best thing to do is get a Porcelain Veneer. They are very fragile but they look really pretty! Or you can also get a dental partial(this is cheaper).
