We offer a variety of solutions depending on your individual needs, from bonding and fillings to porcelain crowns and veneers. Our goal is to provide you with a comfortable and seamless experience, so you can leave our office feeling like your best self again.
We want our patients to feel comfortable and informed when it comes to their dental health, which is why we take the time to explain the types of fractures you may have in your teeth.
There are five different types of tooth fractures:
Depending on the severity of the crack, there are several different methods that can be used to repair a cracked tooth. We may use dental bonding, which involves applying a special resin material to the damaged tooth in order to rebuild it. This is typically used for hairline cracks or small chips. Dental crowns are also sometimes used to repair cracked molars, as they can provide more stability for the affected tooth. Porcelain veneers may also be utilized if the crack is extensive and needs a big change in appearance.
In some cases, a cracked tooth may need root canal therapy. This is used to remove the damaged nerve tissue and protect the remaining healthy tooth structure. In more severe cases, extraction of the affected tooth may be necessary.
A cracked tooth may not always be painful. But even if you don’t feel any discomfort, it is important to repair broken teeth as soon as possible. A fracture, even one that appears like a hairline crack, can put a tooth at risk for more serious damage without treatment.
Early recognition and repair is essential for preserving your teeth for years to come. A skilled dentist like Dr. Dinh at Lake Olympia Dental can assess the severity of your cracked tooth and recommend the right treatment to repair it.
