About the Service

A broken tooth can range from a minor chip to a severe fracture. Regardless of the size, it's crucial to seek dental care promptly. A broken tooth can expose sensitive areas, increasing the risk of pain, infection, and further damage.

Tooth fractures encompass a range of damage, from cosmetic issues to serious dental emergencies. Craze lines are superficial, hairline cracks in the tooth's enamel, generally painless and mainly a cosmetic concern. A fractured cusp involves a piece of the tooth's chewing surface breaking away, potentially causing sensitivity.

A split tooth indicates a severe crack dividing the tooth into separate parts, often causing significant pain and requiring urgent care. Vertical root fractures start in the tooth's root and extend upwards, proving difficult to detect and potentially leading to infection.
