Do you have a craze line in your tooth? If you don’t know the term, you will certainly know it by sight: It’s a very thin fracture in your tooth’s enamel (outer layer). You can often see them when you look closely in the mirror in really good lighting. Or, you will notice them because of a somewhat darkened, stained appearance, which looks like a line down your tooth. If it’s noticeable and you want to fix it, we can address the issue with cosmetic dentistry. Curious about the details, such as whether you need treatment and more? We are happy to offer the necessary information!
Do I Need Cosmetic Care?
If you have a craze line in your tooth, the first step is visiting us to ensure it really is just that (and not a true crack that will result in a need for restorative care). Then, we can discuss whether you want treatment. Notice, we said whether you want cosmetic dentistry. If you dislike the way your tooth and entire smile look due to the line, then we can most certainly camouflage it for you. However, if you have discovered that it’s not really noticeable and you’re not too worried about it, treating it is not necessary.
How Can You Fix It?
When you decide you do, in fact, want to hide that little craze line, we can make the improvement with one of two cosmetic dentistry treatments. We may cover it up with dental bonding as a spot treatment. Or, if you’ve been considering veneers (or are uninterested in bonding), the placement of a porcelain veneer will hide the problem beautifully.
