It can happen in the blink of an eye. You are playing a weekend game of sports, accidentally trip and fall, or simply bite down on a piece of hard candy, and suddenly you feel it—a piece of your tooth has broken away.
Beyond the immediate impact on how your smile looks, a break leaves the inner layers of your tooth vulnerable to further cracking, daily wear, and painful bacterial infections.
At Southshore Dental, we are here to treat your broken tooth and restore the structural integrity and beauty of your smile.
Broken Tooth Treatments in Trenton
Depending on your situation, we can renew your tooth using one of these targeted methods:
- Teeth Bonding: When dealing with a small chip or an uneven edge, bonding allows us to seamlessly build the tooth back up. We use a pliable, shade-matched composite material to sculpt the missing piece right onto your tooth. Next, the dentist smooths it down until it looks and feels completely natural before setting it permanently.
- Tooth Fillings: If a fracture leaves a small gap or pit but the surrounding walls of the tooth are still strong, a composite filling can seal the opening. A filling keeps food and bacteria out, preventing more serious structural damage.
- Tooth Crowns: For severe breaks where a major portion of the tooth is lost, a crown provides the ultimate layer of armor. It wraps entirely around the remaining structure, absorbing the pressure of your bite and restoring the tooth’s appearance.
Same-Day Emergency Support
A broken tooth doesn’t always wait for a convenient time to happen. Because structural damage requires timely intervention to save the tooth and avoid more extensive, expensive procedures, we offer same-day services.
If your break is accompanied by sudden pain or swelling, simply call our dental office for emergency dental care in Trenton.
