Can I Fix My Discolored Front Tooth?


Posted on 7/15/2024 by SRD Florence

If you want to make a great first impression, a smile works wonders. However, if you have a discolored front tooth, it can be difficult to give people your best smile. Here are some solutions for fixing your discolored front tooth.

What Causes Discoloration of Teeth?


Front teeth can become discolored for several reasons. Your tooth might have experienced some trauma, such as getting hit in the mouth with a ball, which makes it turn gray. Cavities can also make your tooth turn gray or blue. There are medications that can cause color changes to your tooth as well, such as antibiotics.

How Can a Discolored Tooth Be Fixed?


Depending on what happened to your tooth, our dentist can fix it in several ways. If the tooth discoloration is severe, you may want to consider having it covered with a dental crown. A dental crown can cover your front tooth and the discoloration.

If you have a slight spotting on your tooth, our dentist may be able to use bonding to cover the discolored area. Bonding is made of liquid plastic composite, which the dentist applies and then hardens with a special light. Dentists color bonding so that your bonded tooth matches your other teeth. Bonding can last for years, and it can be reapplied if needed.

What if your front discolored tooth is only one of your tooth problems, and you also have a couple of cracked teeth as well? Our dentist can fix those problematic teeth through the use of veneers. Veneers can cover and protect all of the teeth in your upper or lower jaw, so you can fix several problems at once.

Not sure how to fix your discolored front tooth? We can help. Reach out to our office to schedule an appointment.
