The dentist filled it in but within a week; it had broken off. Thankfully, there is no damage to his roots and he has not been in any pain. I&#8217;m just wondering if a snap-on smile would work for an 8-year-old? When he is old enough, we would have the tooth capped off.<\/p>\n<p>-Danielle from California<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Danielle,<\/p>\n<p>Although I speak highly of the Snap-On-Smile, I wouldn&#8217;t recommend this option for your son. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regiondental.com\/tulsa-snap-on-smile\/\">If you went with the Snap-On Smile<\/a>, his tooth would remain broken, and there are ways to fix it. For example, his tooth could be fixed with composite bonding or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regiondental.com\/tulsa-porcelain-crowns\/\">porcelain<\/a>, and it would stay fixed as long as it&#8217;s done right and doesn&#8217;t get in the way of his bite.<\/p>\n<p>The repair that was done on your son&#8217;s tooth didn&#8217;t break off because of his age; it was because it got in the way of his bite. Meaning it would still break off when he gets older. An excellent cosmetic dentist can repair his tooth correctly. I wouldn&#8217;t suggest going to a pediatric dentist for this.<\/p>\n<p>He could potentially have these problems if you went with a Snap-On Smile:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It could be bulky.<\/li>\n<li>Chances are, being an eight-year-old boy, he will misplace it or lose it.<\/li>\n<li>Since he still has some baby teeth and permanent teeth, the Snap-On Smile fit is going to change.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I strongly believe that having these types of procedures done by an expert cosmetic dentist is extremely important. Your son&#8217;s tooth breaking off is a perfect example of why it&#8217;s important to go to someone who is an expert and can do it right the first time.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regiondental.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Tulsa Dentist (opens in a new tab)\">Tulsa Dentist<\/a> Dr. Ryan Noah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Danielle, and I have an 8-year-old son that severely chipped his front tooth.
