Broken Tooth Repair as Part of Restorative Dentistry
Repairing damaged teeth is a key component of Restorative Dentistry.
Our goal is to:
- Preserve as much natural tooth as possible
- Restore strength and function
- Improve aesthetics
- Prevent further damage or infection
Depending on the severity of the break, we’ll recommend the most effective treatment for long-term success.
Common Causes of a Broken Tooth
- Biting hard foods (ice, nuts, hard candy)
- Sports injuries or accidents
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Large fillings weakening the tooth
- Untreated decay
Even minor chips should be evaluated early to prevent complications.
Treatment Options for Broken Teeth
We offer a range of solutions depending on the extent of the damage:
Cosmetic Bonding
For small chips or cracks, cosmetic bonding quickly restores shape and appearance in a single visit.
Dental Fillings
If decay is involved, tooth-coloured fillings can repair minor structural damage.
Dental Crowns
For more significant damage, a SprintRay same-day crown fully covers and protects the tooth.
Inlays and Onlays
Moderate damage can be restored with inlays or onlays for strength and durability.
Root Canal Treatment
If the inner pulp is affected, a root canal may be required before restoring the tooth.
Tooth Extraction and Replacement
In severe cases, removal may be necessary, followed by options like dental implants or bridges.
What to Do If You Break a Tooth
- Rinse your mouth with warm water
- Save any broken pieces if possible
- Avoid chewing on the affected side
- Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
- Contact us immediately for evaluation
Prompt care can often save the tooth and prevent further complications.
