If you have a broken tooth, do your best to prevent chipping it further before you visit our office. If you aren’t coming in immediately, eat only soft foods and avoid chewing on the area around the broken tooth. While not every chip is a serious emergency, visiting our office as soon as possible is encouraged. Our dental professionals will evaluate your tooth and decide on the best course of treatment.

Depending on the chip or break, we may recommend a simple filling or bonding treatment or a veneer if the chip is visible. For teeth that are badly damaged, we may need to place a crown over the tooth in order to preserve the overall structure. Each treatment depends on the individual, so we’ll talk you through the details once we take a look.
