A broken or chipped tooth can happen suddenly and leave you unsure of what to do next. You might notice sharp pain when biting, see part of the tooth missing, or feel a rough edge with your tongue. Sometimes the damage is small, and other times it is more obvious. No matter the situation, getting help quickly is the best way to protect your tooth and prevent the problem from getting worse.
At Restore Dental Aesthetics, we make these situations easier. Our team focuses on relieving your discomfort, explaining your options clearly, and treating your tooth with care. We are here for you when something unexpected happens.
Common causes of a broken or chipped tooth include:
If you are unsure what caused the damage, that is completely normal. During your visit, our team will take a close look, explain what likely happened, and guide you toward the best treatment.
Treatment depends on the location and extent of the damage, but our goal is always to save your natural tooth whenever possible. Small chips can often be repaired with dental bonding, using a tooth-colored composite material that blends seamlessly with your natural tooth and restores its shape in a single visit.
When more of the tooth is affected, a dental crown may be the best option. A crown covers and protects the entire tooth, restoring its strength and allowing you to chew comfortably again. If the crack reaches the nerve of the tooth, a root canal may be needed to remove infection and eliminate pain before placing the crown. In rare cases where the tooth cannot be saved, we will walk you through replacement options such as implants or bridges.
Signs you may have a broken or cracked tooth:
Even small cracks can grow over time and lead to more serious issues, which is why calling Restore Dental Aesthetics at the first sign of trouble is so important.
While you wait to see us, take a few simple steps to protect the area:
Calling us quickly is the most important step. Early treatment makes it more likely that the tooth can be saved.
