So you\u2019re tearing up the dance floor at a friend\u2019s wedding, when all of a sudden one of your pals lands an accidental blow to your face \u2014 chipping out part of your front tooth, which lands right on the floorboards! Meanwhile, your wife (who is nine months pregnant) is expecting you home in one piece, and you may have to pose for a picture with the baby at any moment. What will you do now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a tip from Prince William of England. According to the British tabloid The Daily Mail<\/em>, the future king found himself in just this situation in 2013. His solution: Pay a late-night visit to a discreet dentist and get it fixed up \u2014 then stay calm and carry on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, dental emergencies of this type are fairly common. While nobody at the palace is saying exactly what was done for the damaged tooth, there are several ways to remedy this dental dilemma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the broken part is relatively small, chances are the tooth can be repaired by bonding with composite resin. In this process, tooth-colored material is used to replace the damaged, chipped or discolored region. Composite resin is a super-strong mixture of plastic and glass components that not only looks quite natural, but bonds tightly to the natural tooth structure. Best of all, the bonding procedure can usually be accomplished in just one visit to the dental office \u2014 there\u2019s no lab work involved. And while it won\u2019t last forever, a bonded tooth should hold up well for at least several years with only routine dental care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a larger piece of the tooth is broken off and recovered, it is sometimes possible to reattach it via bonding. However, for more serious damage \u2014 like a severely fractured or broken tooth \u2014 a crown (cap) may be required. In this restoration process, the entire visible portion of the tooth may be capped with a sturdy covering made of porcelain, gold, or porcelain fused to a gold metal alloy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A crown restoration is more involved than bonding. It begins with making a 3-D model of the damaged tooth and its neighbors. From this model, a tooth replica will be fabricated by a skilled technician; it will match the existing teeth closely and fit into the bite perfectly. Next, the damaged tooth will be prepared, and the crown will be securely attached to it. Crown restorations are strong, lifelike and permanent.Was the future king \u201ccrowned\u201d \u2014 or was his tooth bonded? We may never know for sure. But it\u2019s good to know that even if we\u2019ll never be royals, we still have several options for fixing a damaged tooth.
