What Causes Chipped or Broken Teeth?
Teeth can chip, crack, or break due to a variety of reasons, including:
- Injury or Trauma: A fall, accident, or sports-related injury can lead to a fractured or broken tooth.
- Biting on Hard Foods: Biting down on ice, hard candy, or other tough foods can cause a tooth to chip or break.
- Weakened Teeth: Teeth weakened by decay, large fillings, or bruxism (teeth grinding) are more susceptible to damage.
- Accidents: Even minor accidents can lead to a chipped tooth, especially if the tooth is already compromised.
Regardless of the cause, it’s important to seek immediate dental care to prevent further damage or infection. If you’re dealing with a chipped or broken tooth, we’re here to offer swift treatment and restore your smile.
What to Expect During Your Emergency Visit to 25 Devonshire Place
When you arrive for emergency treatment, our first priority is to assess the extent of the damage and provide immediate relief.
We will carefully examine the injured tooth and may take X-rays to determine the severity of the break. Depending on the type of damage, we offer a variety of treatment options, including:
- Dental Bonding or Filling: For minor chips or cracks, we can often repair the tooth with tooth-colored bonding material or a filling to restore its appearance and function.
- Dental Crown: For more significant damage, a dental crown may be necessary to protect and strengthen the tooth. Crowns are custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Veneers: In cases where a front tooth is chipped or broken, veneers can restore the tooth’s shape and appearance with a natural-looking, durable solution.
- Root Canal Treatment: If the damage extends to the tooth’s pulp, root canal therapy may be needed to save the tooth and prevent infection.
- Tooth Extraction: In cases of severe damage where the tooth cannot be repaired, extraction may be recommended, followed by a restorative option like an implant or bridge.
