A fractured tooth is a crack or break in your tooth structure that may cause pain or sensitivity. Prompt care restores function, relieves discomfort, and prevents further damage or infection.
We assess the damage and use bonding, crowns, or other restorations depending on severity. The goal is to protect the tooth, prevent infection, and restore both strength and appearance as quickly as possible.
Repairing a fractured tooth restores comfort, protects the tooth from infection, and saves it from extraction. It brings back normal function and appearance so you can chew, smile, and speak without pain.
Fractured Tooth
Repair broken teeth and restore function.
Anyone who chips, cracks, or breaks a tooth—whether from trauma, biting hard foods, or grinding—should seek treatment. Fractured teeth can lead to pain, infection, or further damage if left untreated.
Treatment depends on severity. You may receive bonding, a crown, or root canal therapy. Your dentist restores shape and strength while keeping you comfortable. In many cases, repairs are completed the same day, helping you smile and chew with ease again.
Treating a fractured tooth varies based on severity. A minor crack repaired with bonding may take just 30 minutes. A crown or root canal could take 1–2 hours or require a second visit. Treatment time is personalized to your needs.
A fractured tooth should be treated promptly to prevent infection or further breakage. Depending on the severity, you may need bonding, a crown, or root canal therapy. Avoid chewing on the damaged side until it’s repaired.
Depending on the treatment, you may leave with a filling, crown, or splint. You’ll likely feel sore or sensitive. Avoid chewing on the injured side and follow your dentist’s instructions for pain relief and follow-up care.
