Immediate Treatment for a Cracked Tooth is Crucial

A cracked or chipped tooth isn't just a cosmetic issue—it's an urgent dental condition that demands immediate attention. Ignoring the problem can lead to increased pain, potential bleeding, infections, and in severe cases, the loss of the tooth. Early intervention by a dental professional is key to preventing these outcomes, preserving your tooth, and maintaining your oral health.

The Dangers of Delaying Treatment

Delaying treatment for a damaged tooth can lead to several complications, including:

  • Infection: Cracks and chips can expose the inner layers of your tooth, creating an entry point for bacteria.
  • Pain and Discomfort: As the damage worsens, you may experience heightened sensitivity and pain.
  • Further Damage: Without prompt repair, a minor chip can evolve into a significant crack or even lead to the tooth breaking off.

Our Approach to Repairing Your Damaged Tooth

At Urgent Dental Care of Houston, we utilize the latest in dental technology and techniques to repair chipped, cracked, and broken teeth. Our experienced dental professionals are adept at assessing the extent of the damage and recommending the best course of treatment to ensure a successful outcome.

How We Repair Chipped, Cracked, and Broken Teeth

Dental Bonding

For minor chips and cracks, dental bonding is a quick and effective treatment. A tooth-colored resin is applied to the damaged area and hardened with a special light, restoring the tooth's appearance and function.

Porcelain Veneers

For front teeth that are chipped or cracked, porcelain veneers can provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution.

Dental Crowns

For more significant damage, a crown may be recommended to cover and protect the tooth from further harm.

Root Canal Therapy

If the crack has extended into the pulp of the tooth, root canal therapy followed by a crown can save the tooth from extraction.
