Emergency Dental Repair for Cracked or Broken Teeth

A broken tooth can lead to discomfort, sensitivity, and self-consciousness. Our emergency repair services use advanced materials and techniques to restore both the look and function of your tooth. From minor chips to severe fractures, we’re here to help you regain your smile and protect your oral health.

In many cases, broken teeth can be fully repaired during a single emergency appointment.

Common Types of Broken Teeth We Treat

Chipped Teeth

Small chips are often caused by minor trauma or biting into hard foods. While they may not always hurt, chipped teeth can become sharp, prone to further damage, or impact your smile.

Cracked or Fractured Teeth

Cracks can vary in depth and severity—from surface-level craze lines to deeper fractures that reach the root. If left untreated, cracked teeth can worsen or lead to infection.

Broken Cusps (Tooth Corners)

When the pointed part of a tooth (usually a molar) breaks off, it can affect your ability to chew properly.

Split or Severely Fractured Teeth

A tooth that’s split into two or more pieces often results from serious trauma or decay.

Knocked-Out or Partially Dislodged Teeth

Although not technically “broken,” knocked-out or loose teeth from trauma require immediate attention. If addressed quickly, the tooth can sometimes be repositioned and stabilized.

Broken Dental Work

Sharp or intense discomfort when biting down or putting pressure on a tooth—often making it hard or even impossible to eat normally.

Broken Tooth Treatment Options

  • Dental Bonding

For small chips, cracks, or minor cosmetic damage, dental bonding is a fast, painless solution. A tooth-colored resin is applied and shaped to restore the natural appearance and strength of the tooth—usually in a single visit.

  • Tooth-Colored Fillings

If a cavity or damaged filling has left your tooth vulnerable, we can restore it with a modern, composite filling. These blend seamlessly with your natural tooth and help protect it from further damage.

  • Emergency Dental Crowns

For more severe damage—such as fractured teeth or broken cusps—we may recommend placing a custom crown. Crowns cover and protect the entire tooth structure, restoring both function and aesthetics. In many cases, we offer same-day crowns using advanced technology.

  • Temporary and Permanent Restorations

Lost crowns, bridges, or large fillings can leave your tooth exposed and sensitive. We can provide temporary solutions immediately, followed by a permanent restoration to fully protect and restore your tooth.

Broken Tooth Repair Frequently Asked Questions

Can a broken tooth be repaired to look natural?

Absolutely. Thanks to modern dental materials and advanced techniques, broken teeth can be restored to look and feel just like your natural teeth. Treatments like tooth-colored composite bonding and porcelain restorations are expertly matched to your existing tooth shade, making the repair virtually invisible. Our experienced dentists focus on both function and aesthetics for a seamless result.

How long do broken tooth repairs last?

The lifespan of your repair depends on the method used:

- Composite bonding: typically lasts 5–7 years

- Porcelain veneers: often last 10–15 years

- Dental crowns: can last 10–20 years or longer


With proper oral hygiene, regular checkups, and avoiding hard foods or habits like teeth grinding, your repair can last even longer.

Is emergency broken tooth repair covered by insurance?

In most cases, yes. Emergency dental repairs are often covered by insurance, especially if treatment is needed to prevent further damage or infection. Most dental plans cover 50–80% of the cost, depending on your provider and plan details. We accept Medicaid and work with all major insurance companies to help you maximize your coverage.
