How Do I Know If My Tooth Is Broken or Chipped?
Not all dental damage is immediately obvious. While some breaks or chips are easy to spot, like a visible piece missing, others can be more subtle but just as serious. Here are common signs that you may have a cracked or chipped tooth:
Sharp or Uneven Tooth Edges
If you run your tongue over your teeth and notice a rough or jagged edge that wasn’t there before, you may have chipped part of the enamel.
Sudden Tooth Sensitivity
Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks can be a sign of enamel damage, exposing the inner layers of the tooth.
Pain When Biting or Chewing
Pain that comes and goes when you apply pressure, especially while chewing, could indicate a cracked tooth, even if there’s no visible damage.
Swelling Around the Tooth or Gumline
A break or crack can allow bacteria to enter the tooth, leading to inflammation, infection, or swelling near the gums.
Visible Damage
Sometimes you can see a chipped corner or a visible crack running along the surface of the tooth, especially after trauma or biting something hard.
How We Fix Broken and Cracked Teeth
At Alpine Dental, we offer a variety of treatments to repair broken, chipped, or cracked teeth, tailored to the severity of the damage and your comfort. Here’s how we help restore your smile:
Dental Bonding
Perfect for small chips or cracks, bonding uses tooth-colored resin to fill in damaged areas and reshape your tooth. It’s quick, painless, and looks completely natural.
For front teeth with larger chips or cosmetic cracks, veneers are a great solution. These thin porcelain covers are custom-made to fit over the front of your tooth, restoring its appearance and strength.
If a large portion of the tooth is broken, a crown may be needed. A crown completely covers the damaged tooth, protecting it from further harm while restoring full function.
When a break exposes a small portion of the tooth or enamel, we may use a filling to seal the area. These fillings match your natural tooth color and provide long-lasting protection.
If the crack reaches the inner part of the tooth (the pulp), it can cause pain or infection. A root canal removes the damaged tissue and seals the tooth to prevent further issues, often followed by a crown.

Can a broken tooth be fixed in one visit?
Yes, in many cases, a broken tooth can be fixed in one visit, especially with treatments like bonding or a temporary crown. More complex procedures, like crowns or root canals, may require additional appointments.
Does insurance cover fixing a broken tooth?

What will happen if I leave a broken tooth?
Leaving a broken tooth untreated can lead to pain, infection, and further damage. Exposed nerves and decay can worsen, potentially requiring more extensive treatments like root canals or extractions. It’s best to seek dental care as soon as possible to prevent complications and preserve your tooth.
