It depends on the severity. A minor chip without pain is usually not an emergency but should be fixed soon to prevent further wear. However, if the break causes severe pain, bleeding, or exposes the pink nerve (pulp), it is a dental emergency. Contact our emergency dental team immediately to save the tooth.

Yes, if the damage is minor. We often use Composite Bonding or Dental Fillings to repair small chips in a single visit. However, if more than 50% of the tooth structure is missing, a Zirconia or Porcelain Crown is necessary to provide long-term strength and prevent the tooth from splitting.

The cost varies based on the treatment required:

• Dental Bonding: Most affordable option for small chips.

• Veneers: Mid-to-high range for aesthetic front-tooth repairs.

• Root Canal + Crown: Required for deep fractures. For an accurate quote, we recommend a physical examination at our Gulberg clinic.

Ignoring a crack can lead to:

• Infection (Abscess): Bacteria enter the pulp, causing painful swelling.

   

• Tooth Loss: The crack may expand below the gum line, making the tooth unsavable.

   

• Root Canal: What could have been a simple filling may turn into a complex Root Canal Treatment.

In some cases, yes! If you have the broken fragment, keep it moist in a small container of milk or saliva and bring it to your appointment. If the break is clean, we may be able to bond the original piece back onto your tooth.
