If you have recently cracked a tooth, you may wonder whether you need a dental crown to fix the problem. Dr. Olivia Hart and her team at Virginia Biological Dentistry of Glen Allen, Richmond, Virginia, can evaluate you and determine what needs to be done to restore the tooth and protect it from further damage. She is a mercury-free, biological dental professional serving patients in the area, ensuring all her treatments are conservative and biocompatible.
Accurate diagnosis, best treatment, and search for a root cause of your cracked tooth
First, Dr. Olivia Hart must decide what can be done by assessing the severity of the crack in the tooth. She will take a three-dimensional image – CBCT or cone beam – to determine the exact problem associated with a cracked tooth and discuss your tooth symptoms in depth. Next to offering an accurate diagnosis and selecting the best treatment for your specific dental concern, Dr. Hart will investigate the root cause for your tooth crack to develop an effective preventive holistic protocol to minimize the likelihood of cracks occurring to your other teeth in months and years to come.
