Broken Tooth Repair in Marietta, GA

At our Marietta office, a broken tooth is a dental emergency for several reasons beyond appearance. Sharp edges from a fracture can lacerate your tongue, cheeks, and lips. Exposed dentin is sensitive and highly vulnerable to decay. A crack that extends toward the root causes intense pain with every bite and, if left untreated, can propagate until the tooth is unsalvageable.

Treatment depends on where the break occurred and how much healthy tooth structure remains serving Marietta and surrounding areas. For minor chips, tooth-colored composite bonding restores the tooth in a single appointment with no drilling required in many cases. For moderate fractures, an inlay, onlay, or full porcelain crown provides durable protection and restores full biting function. When the fracture extends into the pulp, root canal therapy is performed before placing a crown.

Cracked tooth syndrome — where a hairline crack causes sharp pain during biting that immediately resolves — is notoriously difficult to diagnose because cracks often do not appear on X-rays. Our experienced team uses specialized tools, dye, and transillumination to identify and confirm cracked teeth that other offices may miss.

If you have a broken tooth, rinse with warm salt water, avoid chewing on that side, and call us. The sooner we treat a broken tooth, the better the outcome.
