A broken tooth needs attention right away. The longer you wait, the higher the chance of infection, more damage, and more complicated treatment.

Do not try to manage a broken tooth at home. Call us today.
Treatment depends on where the tooth broke, how much tooth structure remains, and whether the inner tissue of the tooth is affected. Dr. Fedler will examine the area and explain the available options.
A tooth that is cracked or severely damaged beyond repair needs to be removed to protect the teeth around it. We assess the damage and remove it cleanly. Remove a Broken Tooth
A dental crown may be recommended when a tooth has lost too much structure for a filling. The crown covers the remaining portion of the tooth and may help protect it during biting and chewing.
A filling may be used when the damaged area is relatively small and enough healthy tooth structure remains. Dr. Fedler will determine whether a filling can repair the tooth or whether another treatment is needed.
If a crack or break affects the inner tissue of the tooth, root canal treatment may be recommended. Dental Faith can evaluate the tooth and coordinate treatment with a root canal provider when needed.
A tooth may need to be removed when the damage extends too far below the gumline or there is not enough healthy structure left to repair it. Dr. Fedler will examine the tooth before recommending extraction and can discuss options for replacing the missing tooth.

A Nashville Dental Team Ready for Tooth Emergencies
A broken tooth is stressful. At Dental Faith, we make it easier by acting fast and treating you with care from the moment you call.

Our dentists have repaired hundreds of chipped, cracked, and broken teeth. We assess the damage accurately and recommend only what is needed to fix it.

We use up to date imaging and tools to see the full extent of the damage, including what is happening below the gumline. This leads to better treatment decisions.

We address discomfort and protect the damaged area from further harm.
Treatment may include bonding, a filling, a dental crown, or a root canal, depending on the break.
A tooth may break because of an injury, decay, pressure from biting, grinding, or weakened tooth structure.
Biting ice, hard candy, popcorn kernels, or other hard foods may damage a tooth, especially when the tooth already has a large filling or decay.
Falls, sports injuries, and other impacts to the face can chip, loosen, or break teeth. A properly fitted mouthguard may reduce the risk of some sports-related dental injuries.
Decay can weaken a tooth and make it more likely to break under normal biting pressure. Large fillings may also leave less natural tooth structure surrounding the restoration.
Grinding and clenching can place repeated pressure on the teeth. Dr. Fedler can check for signs of wear and discuss whether treatment is needed.

Rinse your mouth gently with warm water. Save any pieces you can find and avoid chewing on the damaged tooth. If there is swelling, place a cold compress against the outside of your face. Call Dental Faith to describe the injury and ask about appointment availability.
Some minor chips or breaks may be treated during the initial visit. Other teeth may require a crown, root canal care, extraction, laboratory work, or another appointment. The treatment timeline depends on the damage and appointment availability.
Yes, especially if there is pain, bleeding, sharp edges, or signs of infection. Do not wait to see if it improves. Call us and we will get you in quickly.
Cost depends on the type of repair needed. Bonding costs less than a crown or root canal. We give you a clear estimate before starting any treatment. Most major insurance plans are accepted and financing is available.
No. Teeth cannot repair themselves. A crack that is left untreated will usually get worse over time and can lead to infection or tooth loss. Early treatment is always the better option.
Not always. Small chips may only need bonding or a filling. A crown is typically needed when the break is large, the tooth is weakened, or after a root canal. We recommend only what the tooth actually needs.
We numb the area before any procedure. You may feel some pressure but should not feel pain during treatment. Any soreness afterward is usually mild and fades within a day or two.
Bonding and fillings can take 30 to 60 minutes. Crown placement typically requires two visits unless same-day crowns are available. We let you know the timeline before you commit to any treatment.
Call our Nashville dentist, Dr. M. Paula Fedler, today to book your next dental appointment.
