Causes of Fractured Teeth

Teeth can be fractured for a variety of reasons, the most common being:

– Injury
– Large dental fillings
– Hard foods
– Teeth grinding
– Age

Fractured teeth shouldn’t be left and we recommend having them seen as soon as possible. Book a consultation today with Gabriels Hill Dental for a full assessment.

Fixing a Fractured Tooth

The fixing process depends on the extent of the damage. Small chips of tooth enamel may be repaired with a simple filling, with front or visible teeth fixed using a composite resin that matches your tooth colour, also referred to as “bonding”.

If the fracture is severe, we may recommend removing the tooth entirely and replacing it with a denture. Should this be the case, we will discuss the process with you and explore all of your options before proceeding with tooth extraction.

Saving a Fractured Tooth

We can easily save and restore your fractured tooth through root canals, crowns or fillings, without having to resort to tooth extraction. Whilst the process of fixing a fractured or cracked tooth cannot completely restore your teeth, unlike a broken bone, our team can get it looking almost brand new.

If a significant part of the tooth has broken off, place the piece into a glass of milk to maintain the correct fluid balance in the root of the tooth. This increases the chance of your tooth being successfully reconnected with the fracture.

The Cost

The cost of repairing a fractured or cracked tooth can depend on the severity of the fracture and where it’s located. If you have damaged a front tooth, the treatment may be more expensive than fixing cracks in your back teeth.

Usually, prices are calculated per tooth, with the average cost ranging from £90 to £200. For a more accurate estimate of fractured tooth repair, contact Gabriels Hill Dental for an assessment.
