Cracked and Chipped Teeth

How Damage Happens

Understanding Cracked and Chipped Teeth

We understand that even a small chip or crack can affect more than your appearance, and it can also impact your comfort and dental function. Cracked or chipped teeth can result from biting hard foods, teeth grinding (bruxism), or injury.

Dr. Kao and our team use advanced, minimally invasive treatments to restore your tooth’s natural look, strength, and health. With early diagnosis and personalized care, we help preserve your smile and prevent further damage.

Restoring Strength and Confidence

When to Seek Treatment

Not every crack causes pain, but all should be examined by a dentist. Our team uses precise imaging and thorough evaluation to determine the best treatment for your needs, including:

• Bonding or Filling: Ideal for minor chips or shallow cracks; restores appearance and strength.
• Dental Crowns: Protect and rebuild teeth affected by larger fractures or weakened enamel.
• Root Canal Therapy: Removes infection if the crack extends to the tooth’s nerve.

If you experience sensitivity, discomfort when biting, or a visible chip, schedule an appointment promptly. Early care helps prevent more extensive damage and restores lasting comfort.
