Cracked or Chipped Teeth

Cracked or Chipped Teeth

A chipped or cracked tooth can cause immediate discomfort and long-term issues if left untreated. At Sleep Dentistry Group, we understand how these injuries can impact your daily life, so we're here to help. 

What to Do If I Chip or Crack My Tooth?

Whether the chip is minor or the crack is more severe, prompt action is crucial for maintaining your oral health and comfort. Here’s a step-by-step guide on what to do if you chip or crack your tooth.

How we can help at Sleep Dentistry Group

The best treatment depends on the damage's type and severity, and Sleep Dentistry Group offers several restorative options. For minor chips, bonding applies a tooth-coloured resin for a smooth, natural appearance. Dental crowns cover damaged teeth, providing strength and protection for larger cracks. Veneers, thin porcelain shells, effectively mask chips and minor cracks on front teeth with a durable, natural look. If a crack reaches the pulp, root canal therapy removes damaged tissue, preventing infection, and finishes with a protective crown. In severe cases, like a split tooth, extraction may be needed, with options for replacements such as implants or bridges.

What can cause a cracked or chipped tooth?

Chipped or cracked teeth can result from various factors. Accidents, such as falls, car collisions, or sports injuries, are common causes of damage. Chewing on hard objects like ice or using teeth to open packages can also lead to chips or cracks. Additionally, bruxism, or teeth grinding, places excessive pressure on teeth, particularly during sleep, increasing the likelihood of damage. Tooth decay weakens the structure of teeth, raising the risk of cracks, while aging and natural wear contribute to thinning enamel, further making teeth more susceptible to injury.
