Broken Teeth Repair in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island
What is broken tooth or chipped tooth repair?
Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth can be incredibly painful and could also cause other damage to the mouth when left without treatment. When a person suffers from a chipped front tooth, it is much more noticeable than a small chip to a back tooth. These may be difficult to notice and could go overlooked for some time. If this happens, damage could occur in the gums, tongue, lips, or cheeks.
At Dental365, our dentists are highly skilled and trained in recognizing even small cracks or chips in your teeth so they can be corrected as soon as possible and prevent further damage to your oral health.

If you have suffered from any of the following problems that could result in teeth breaking, talk to one of our Dental365 dentists:
- Eating something hard, like hard candy

- Trauma from an accident (commonly car accidents)
- Cavities that are not treated
- Older fillings causing tooth structural problems
In addition, the following are potential risk factors for a broken tooth:
- Teeth grinding
- Tooth decay
- Eating acidic foods
Is a broken tooth an emergency?
Your broken tooth may be considered a dental emergency, so speak with one of our Dental365 staff members if you suspect a broken tooth. During a personal, one-on-one consultation with a broken tooth surgeon, our dentists can determine the best options for your unique situation.
How are broken teeth repaired?
One of the following procedures to repair a broken or cracked tooth may be right for you:
Dental Bonding for Chipped Teeth
Dental bonding is one treatment option that may be more affordable than dental veneers. During dental bonding, one of our skilled dentists uses color-matched composite resin to cover up any cracks, breaks, or cosmetic imperfections on your tooth.
This kind of dental surgery is only a good option if your tooth crack or tooth fracture is relatively small and doesn’t require extensive cosmetic changes.
Dental Crowns for a Broken Tooth
A dental crown may also be a good option if your broken tooth needs to be blended in with the rest of your smile in a permanent fashion. Dental crowns are custom-fit to your unique teeth and can fill gaps in the tooth due to cracking, breaking, or gapping.
For your convenience, our offices are open seven days a week. We accept walk-ins and offer affordable care and financing options for broken tooth repair.
