Treatment for a broken tooth will vary depending on the type and severity of the crack. Whether or not the tooth or fragment can be salvaged, there’s always a solution that will leave you with a smile that’s as good as new. With a relatively minor break, depending on where it occurs, your dentist may choose to use a filling or bonding to remedy the situation.
If a larger piece of the tooth has been lost, especially if it’s not visible when you smile, your dentist may opt for a dental cap or crown. Dental veneers are also an option, particularly it’s one of your front teeth has broken. In some instances, if the pulp has been exposed and damaged, a root canal may be required.
