Many broken teeth can be restored using treatments such as tooth-coloured fillings, dental crowns or other restorative procedures. The most appropriate treatment depends on the size, location and condition of the tooth.

A tooth-coloured filling is a restorative material used to repair teeth affected by decay, small fractures or minor damage. The material is designed to blend with the natural appearance of your teeth.

A dental crown may be recommended when a tooth has lost a significant amount of structure and may not adequately support a filling. A crown covers and protects the remaining tooth structure.

A dental crown acts as a protective covering over a damaged tooth. It is designed to restore function, support the tooth structure and improve the appearance of the tooth.

A broken tooth may become more vulnerable to further damage, sensitivity or decay if left untreated. A dental examination can help determine whether treatment is recommended.

Treatment times vary depending on the type of restoration required. Some tooth-coloured fillings can often be completed in a single appointment, while dental crowns may require multiple visits.

Restorative dental treatments are designed to repair damaged teeth and may also improve the overall appearance of the tooth. Individual outcomes vary depending on the condition of the tooth and treatment selected.

A broken tooth may require prompt attention, particularly if there is pain, sensitivity, swelling or difficulty eating. Contact your dentist for advice if you experience a broken or damaged tooth.
