Problems From Cracked Teeth

You never want to put off cracked tooth repair in Rohnert Park. Cracked teeth can make it painful to bite. You may also notice the pain coming and going. Your teeth may be sensitive to sweetness, heat, and cold. Also, your gums may swell.

The result of those problems? You will avoid anything hot or cold, sticking to room-temperature items. No more ice cream or ice-cold glasses of water on a hot day. No more hot coffee in the morning or hot chocolate on a cold winter evening.

Your teeth are also weaker when they are cracked. If you don’t take care of it right away, bacteria can make their way into the crack. This worsens the damage.

In severe cases, cracked teeth can lead to an infection. If this spreads to the gums and bone, it can become serious. An infection can lead to all of the above symptoms. It can also cause bad breath and tenderness in your neck glands. Infections can require antibiotics.

In the case of visible cracked teeth, you may also have aesthetic concerns. Patients commonly lose confidence in their smile when a crack is visible.

FAQ

What is cracked tooth repair?

We repair cracked teeth in Rohnert Park caused by a range of reasons. Some people experience cracks from aging. Others crack their teeth by biting on hard foods. Some crack their teeth in accidents or falls. Others cause cracks by grinding their teeth.

No matter the cause of the crack in your teeth or the type of crack, our experience allows us to complete the repairs quickly and correctly. From cracks that reach the gumline to split teeth to fractured cusps by fillings, we help with it all.

The method for a cracked tooth repair depends on your overall mouth health and the type of crack. With bonding, we fill the crack using plastic resin. A veneer can make front teeth look whole. Dr. Eddie Kuo may fit a crown over the cracked tooth. You may need a root canal to remove a sensitive and damaged pulp. In some cases, we may have to remove your tooth.

Remember, cracked teeth are much easier to fix at an early stage. If you leave them untreated, your mouth can experience further damage.

What causes a cracked tooth?

A cracked tooth can be caused by a variety of factors, such as biting down on hard objects, grinding your teeth, tooth decay that weakens the tooth structure, or a sudden impact from an accident or sports injury. Age can also play a role, as teeth tend to become more brittle and prone to cracking as we get older.

Is repairing a cracked tooth painful?

Repairing a cracked tooth is usually not painful, as your dentist will use anesthesia or sedation to keep you comfortable during the procedure. You may experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity after the treatment, but this should go away within a few days. If you’re concerned about pain or discomfort, talk to your dentist before the procedure so they can help you feel more at ease.

How is a cracked tooth repaired?

The method used to repair a cracked tooth depends on the severity and location of the crack. Some common treatments for cracked teeth include:

Dental bonding: A tooth-colored resin is applied to the crack and hardened with a special light, which helps to hold the tooth together and prevent further damage.
Veneers: A thin layer of porcelain or composite material is placed over the front surface of the tooth to cover the crack and improve the tooth’s appearance.
Dental crowns: A custom-made cap is placed over the entire tooth, protecting it from further damage and restoring its function.
Root canal treatment: If the crack extends into the tooth’s pulp, a root canal may be needed to remove the damaged tissue and prevent infection.
Tooth extraction: In severe cases, where the crack extends below the gum line or the tooth is severely damaged, it may be necessary to remove the tooth.

How much does it cost to repair a cracked tooth?

The cost of repairing a cracked tooth depends on the type of treatment required and where you live. Dental bonding can cost between $100 and $400 per tooth, while veneers can cost between $900 and $2,500 per tooth. Dental crowns typically cost between $500 and $3,000 per tooth, and root canal treatment can range from $500 to $2,000. Tooth extraction can cost between $75 and $650, depending on the complexity of the extraction. Many dental insurance plans cover at least part of the cost of these treatments, so be sure to check with your insurance provider and dentist to find out how much your treatment will cost.

How can I prevent cracked teeth?

To help prevent cracked teeth, avoid biting down on hard objects, like ice or hard candy. If you grind your teeth, consider wearing a mouthguard at night to protect your teeth. Regular dental check-ups can also help catch early signs of tooth decay, which can weaken your teeth and make them more prone to cracking. Finally, if you play contact sports or participate in activities with a risk of facial injury, consider wearing a mouthguard to protect your teeth from impacts.
