It’s Never “Just a Crack”

If you suspect that you have a fractured tooth, seek immediate treatment from our general or emergency dentists. A cracked tooth can cause further damage and infection if you don’t get it treated. This is because cracks are welcome signs for bacteria, providing a door to the delicate inner tissue of your tooth. Over time, you’ll experience severe pain and discomfort, making it difficult to eat and speak. Seeking prompt treatment can prevent these issues, saving your tooth from further damage and you from further distress.

Causes of Cracked or Broken Teeth

Teeth are strong. After all, they have to withstand the strong force of your jaw. However, teeth aren’t indestructible. Yours may have gotten weakened by underlying medical conditions, fallen prey to a hard snack, or suffered damage in an accident. You can also experience cracks over time from large fillings that weaken your tooth structure. Even a simple habit like bruxism, a.k.a. teeth grinding and clenching, can eventually fracture your teeth from pressure.

Knowing why you cracked your tooth is just as important as knowing you cracked it in the first place. This is because we can help you prevent additional damage to the same tooth or the rest of your smile. Village Dental is all about providing realistic solutions. That means repairing your cracked tooth and addressing its cause.

Options for Cracked Tooth Repair

At Village Dental, we offer a variety of repairs for broken teeth, depending on the severity and location of the crack. These options include:

Composite Filling: This is the go-to tooth repair for a reason. Fillings are molded to fill a space and are great for small cracks.
Dental Bonding: This painless procedure involves applying a tooth-colored resin to the cracked tooth which we then harden with a special light. This restores the appearance and function of the tooth.
Porcelain Crowns: This custom-made cap covers the entire tooth, providing protection and support. We match the color and shape to your natural teeth so that the crown doesn’t stick out.
Tooth Extraction: If the crack is too severe to be repaired, pulling the tooth may be necessary. We follow a tooth removal with a restoration like dentures or a bridge to close the gap.

After we fix your cracked tooth, we provide thorough aftercare instructions to ensure the restoration’s longevity. This includes scheduling your regular appointments, teaching you good oral hygiene, and advising you on what food to avoid.
