A broken or chipped tooth can happen unexpectedly and may affect both the appearance and function of your smile. At Tilley Family Dentistry, we provide prompt care for broken or chipped teeth to relieve discomfort, prevent further damage, and restore your tooth as quickly as possible.
Even minor chips should be evaluated, as untreated damage can worsen over time.
Teeth can break or chip for many reasons, even if they appear healthy. Understanding the cause helps guide proper treatment.
Common causes include:
Biting down on hard foods or objects
Accidents or sports injuries
Falls or trauma to the mouth
Tooth decay weakening the structure
Grinding or clenching teeth
Old or failing restorations
A broken or chipped tooth can expose sensitive inner layers of the tooth, increasing the risk of pain, infection, or further damage.
Prompt treatment helps:
Treatment depends on the severity and location of the damage. Our team will evaluate the tooth and recommend the most appropriate solution.
Treatment options may include:
Cosmetic bonding for small chips
Dental crowns for larger fractures
Veneers for cosmetic restoration
Root canal therapy if the pulp is affected
Tooth extraction in severe cases
Dental damage can be stressful, particularly when pain or sensitivity is involved. Our team uses gentle techniques and effective pain management to ensure your comfort throughout treatment.
We take time to explain options clearly so you feel confident in your care.
