Our dentists repair broken teeth

Our dentist will assess the condition of your mouth and perform an x-ray on the affected tooth to determine the extent of damage. If a small piece or just a corner of the tooth has fractured, then usually it can be repaired with a composite filling in one appointment. However, if there is severe damage then you might need to undergo more extensive dental procedures such as a dental crown or tooth extraction.
