Cracked Tooth Repair

Central Harlem Dentist for Cracked Tooth Repair

Maybe biting down on that almond sounded a little too loud, and now you have pain when you chew. Perhaps you ran into an open cupboard door, and your front tooth is missing a piece. You might just have symptoms you can’t explain, like sensitivity when you drink your favorite latte.

These signs point to a fractured tooth. Visit Morningside Dental Care’s general dentist for cracked tooth repair. We’ll determine how extensive the fracture is and provide effective, high-quality treatment in a welcoming environment. We can even fit you in for a same-day appointment.

Cracks Are More Than a Cosmetic Problem

Any cracked tooth is worth a trip to our NYC dentist office, but some cases are more urgent than others. Although some cracks are superficial, you likely won’t be able to tell just by looking at it yourself. With our intraoral cameras and digital scanner, we can get a better look to determine if you have a chip that needs covering or a crack that needs more medical attention.

When Are Broken Teeth a Risk?

Cracks that are left untreated are an invitation for bacteria. Once inside a crack, bacteria emit acids that can eat away at your tooth, leading to decay and increasing your risk of infection. Cracks also don’t stay the way they are and are prone to spreading. Signs of a badly broken tooth include temperature sensitivity, pain when biting down, swelling or inflammation around the tooth, and any visible changes.

Custom Treatment Options for Cracked Teeth

Morningside Care Dental treats each patient individually, so our upper Manhattan dentist will create a personalized plan for your cracked tooth. Some options we’ll consider:

Tooth Fillings: For a small crack, we can use body-safe fillings to contain it and prevent bacteria from getting into your tooth.
Dental Crowns: Our office offers same-day CEREC crowns, allowing you to get a permanent crown in one visit.
Porcelain Veneers: To cover up the appearance of minor cracks, veneers are bonded to the front of your tooth, smoothing out your smile.
Tooth Extraction: If a tooth is badly cracked, and we can’t repair the damage, we will remove the tooth to preserve your oral health.
Dental Implants: After extracting a cracked tooth, we can replace it with an implant that will match your other teeth and prevent bone loss.
