Teeth break from biting something hard, sports injuries, grinding, or old large fillings giving way. The right repair depends on how deep the break runs — some are cosmetic quick fixes, others are urgent.
Not sure which treatment fits your case? Book a visit — we will examine, explain, and plan it with you.
A chipped edge is minor; a fracture into the nerve or below the gum line is serious. We grade the break with an exam and X-ray before recommending treatment.
Tooth-coloured composite rebuilds chipped edges in a single visit — matched to your enamel shade, sculpted, and polished on the spot.
When a cusp or half the tooth is lost, a crown holds everything together. Bonding alone would snap off under chewing force on a large break.
A pink dot or severe pain at the break point means pulp involvement — root canal therapy first, then a crown, saves the tooth in most cases.
Cracks that run below the gum line or split the root sometimes cannot be saved. If so, we discuss replacement options — implant, bridge, or partial — transparently.
Avoid chewing on that side, skip very hot or cold drinks, cover any sharp edge with sugar-free gum if it is cutting your tongue, and take an OTC pain reliever if needed.
A custom night guard for grinders and a sports mouthguard for athletes prevent most repeat fractures — far cheaper than another crown.
Our dentists combine modern diagnostics with gentle, patient-first care at every visit.
