Benefits of Broken or Fractured Tooth

  • Relieve Pain and Sensitivity 
    Prompt care alleviates discomfort and protects exposed nerves.
  • Prevent Infection 
    Sealing the damaged area reduces the risk of bacteria entering the tooth.
  • Restore Functionality 
    Repairing your tooth allows you to chew and speak without difficulty.
  • Preserve Your Tooth 
    Early intervention can save the tooth and prevent the need for extraction.

How Broken or Fractured Tooth Work

Whether the break is minor or severe, it’s important to address the issue as soon as possible to prevent further complications. A broken tooth can expose the sensitive inner layers, increasing the risk of infection or additional damage. Our team will assess the extent of the break and recommend the best treatment, which may include bonding, a crown, or even root canal therapy in more severe cases.
