Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about broken or cracked tooth repair.
Patients who have fractured, chipped, or cracked a tooth due to injury, biting on something hard, or wear, especially when the tooth is causing pain or sensitivity.
The tooth is numbed and repaired in a single visit using bonding, a crown, or another appropriate restoration.
Minor chips and cracks are repaired in a single visit. More significant fractures requiring a crown involve two appointments.
Not all cracks are visible on X-rays, so a thorough clinical exam is important to assess the full extent of the fracture.
Minor repairs require little to no downtime. If a crown is needed, mild sensitivity around the prepared tooth is normal until the permanent restoration is placed.
