How can you fix a splintered tooth?

Extent: If badly splintered may have to be removed and replaced. If less severely damaged may require filling, cap, and possibly root canal treatment. Your dentist will have to see you to determine the extent of the damage and the appropriate treatment. Please call for an appointment.

Splintered tooth: Treatment for a splintered tooth depends on how badly it is broken. It may need a filling, a root canal, a crown or if it is badly splintered below the bone level extraction may be the only option for treatment. It would take a dental evaluation to determine what is best for your tooth.

Most are repairable!: A dentist can repair even badly fractured teeth with composite resin filling material that matches your tooth color. Even if the entire crown, or visible portion, is missing: is fractured off, we can help you out. : )
