BROKEN TEETH
A broken tooth may be subtle or traumatic and can take many forms, from a faint crack to a large fracture. In many instances, you might not notice there’s a problem, which is why regular dental check-ups are important to detect early signs and prevent progression.
On other occasions, you might bite down on something hard and experience an immediate fracture. If left untreated, a broken tooth will almost certainly be painful, could become infected and may ultimately be lost.
Teeth break for many reasons, including:
- Underlying tooth decay, which weakens the tooth’s structure
- The loss or erosion of a large filling, which leaves an exposed hole
- External injury to the face and mouth
- Root canal treatment which has left the tooth fragile
There are lots of treatment options for broken teeth, and which you choose will depend on the nature of your problem. At Face Teeth Smile, we always prioritise saving the natural tooth and will work with you to do that. When you visit us for a consultation, we’ll discuss:
- White fillings made from strong dental composite to repair cracks and chips. These are tooth-coloured, so offer a natural-looking aesthetic outcome.
- Crowns and bridges that cap and protect damaged teeth or fill gaps where teeth have been lost.
- Root canal treatment to clean infection from damaged roots and infill the hole with a root filler, while saving the natural crown.
- Tooth extraction to remove an unsalvageable tooth with the minimum of trauma. Before any extraction, we’ll let you know all of your options for replacing a lost tooth.
Seeking immediate treatment for a broken tooth is vital. In the event of emergency, please contact us immediately. We offer out-of-hours appointments to get you out of pain and assess what treatment is needed.

White Fillings
White or tooth-coloured fillings are a healthier and more natural-looking alternative to traditional silver-amalgam fillings.
Crowns & Bridges
Crowns and bridges are permanent solutions for damaged, weak or missing teeth.
Root Canal Treatment
When a tooth suffers deep decay, a fracture or trauma, the internal nerve may become infected and lose its blood supply.
Tooth Extraction
At Face Teeth Smile, we always try our utmost to save a tooth, but that’s not always possible.
If you feel you’d benefit from any of these treatments, book a consultation to discuss the results you could experience, and which approach would be best for you.
