Broken Tooth
How we can help
It can be extremely stressful if you have a crown or veneer that has broken or come away, this is especially the case when it's a front tooth.
If the glue has simply failed and the tooth and crown are still in good condition your Dentist will be able to clean the tooth and the crown and recement the crown back in.
If the core of the tooth has fractured or decayed underneath your Dentist will need to assess the damage and advise if the tooth is restorable or not. If so then they may need to make a new crown. If there is not much remaining tooth left then the tooth may need to be removed, but your Dentist will be able to discuss all the options with you.
Here's some tips in the meantime...
- If your crown or veneer has come away, keep this somewhere safe and bring it with you to your appointment.
