Mira Sorvino Breaks Her Teeth on NBC Miniseries: Literally

Let's get this going. Here is Mira Sorvino, an actress known for her roles in Quiz Show, Woody Allen's Mighty Aphrodite, and Norma Jean & Marilyn.

According to People Magazine, she recently broke her teeth while filming a miniseries for NBC. From the article:

"When we were doing the boat scene, we were supposed to be on the Turkish sea in a storm to end all storms," Sorvino, 41, told reporters at a Television Critics Association panel on Thursday. "A big wave came and washed my contacts out of my eyes, and a hook got caught, and it slams into my face and breaks five of my teeth. "

I definitely deal with broken teeth all of the time: it's more common than you might think in San Francisco. There are many ways it can play out depending on what is needed: extraction and implant placement, or re-implantation of the teeth, to simple repairs with bonding and veneers.

The most common reason I see with these cases is slip and fall accidents, but also a wide variety of sports incidents and motor vehicle accidents can get people into trouble too.

  1. The incident must have been tough for Mira. I wonder what kind of dental treatment she went through to fix her broken teeth. Well, it just reminds me of my last visit to the clinic for my dental implants. Lexington is one of the places in SC to go to if you're looking for excellent dental services. My friendly dentist was able to give me a superb smile makeover after replacing my broken front tooth.

  2. Mira must have had a traumatic incident broking her tooth. Good thing we now have cosmetic dentistry. It just needs a good cosmetic dentist. Chicago has a lot of reputable cosmetic dentist around town. They fixed my son's crooked teeth and now he gained more confidence after the treatment.
