A chipped or cracked tooth can be painful and lead to other severe oral problems, and unless very minor it will require a dental expert’s help to permanently fix it.

Frequently asked questions
Chipped vs cracked teeth what are the differences?
A cracked tooth starts from the gum line and runs vertically along the outer surface of the tooth. When a crack is severe it can destroy the tooth pulp and the entire tooth beyond repair, resulting in possible tooth loss. A chipped tooth is when the outer layer or tooth enamel is chipped off or broken, usually caused by an external injury such as biting on something hard.
What happens if you don't treat chipped or cracked teeth?
If a chip is not severe you can survive without treatment, but it is best to get a professional dental opinion regarding this. In most cases of cracked teeth though bacteria can spread through a crack and lead to pockets of infection-causing bacteria which can create abscesses. This infection can spread to the rest of your body resulting in health concerns.
Does a chipped or cracked tooth need to be extracted?
Not for most cases. A dentist can examine the damage and recommend suitable tooth repair treatments. However, if you are experiencing tooth pain and/or the crack was neglected and the tooth pulp compromised, then it may be necessary to extract the tooth to benefit the other teeth and your overall health.
What should you do once you notice a chipped or a cracked tooth?
If you notice that you have a cracked or chipped tooth immediately rinse with warm salt water and if there is tooth pain place a cold compress onto the outside. Visit your dentist as soon as possible to assess the damage and get the correct treatment to restore the appearance and to prevent further dental issues.
What are the treatment options to restore cracked and chipped teeth?
For chipped teeth, the most popular orthodontic treatment is dental bonding which uses a tooth-coloured dental resin to repair and fill the crack. Dental crowns and root canals are other treatments used to restore your cracked or chipped teeth.
Will teeth look natural once the treatment has been completed?
Yes, because thanks to modern innovations in dentistry it is near impossible to tell when work has been done on a natural tooth. Dental veneers on the front of the tooth and crowns are practically unnoticeable against the rest of your natural teeth.
How long does the treatment take?
Normally for restorative work, you will need multiple appointments to complete the treatment. The duration of the treatment will depend on what treatment you are getting done and the complexity of your case. Speak with your dentist for a clearer idea of how long your specific treatment process will take.
Is it painful to restore teeth that have been cracked or chipped?
Depending on the treatment and how invasive the process is such as for dental implants, there can be a certain amount of discomfort. However, it is very unlikely that it will be terribly painful as there are gels and injections that numb the area before treatment is started.
What types of materials are used to restore cracked or chipped teeth?
The materials used will vary depending on the type of treatment and cost. Some of the popular materials include porcelain, composite resin, metal alloy, porcelain and metal fused dental crowns and even gold.
How long do the results last?
Based on the type of treatment you get done results can last anywhere between a minimum of five years to 15 years and sometimes even longer, with good dental care.
How do you tend to your dental health once your teeth have been restored?
Regular dental visits are important to ensure that the tooth and the rest of your teeth are in good condition. At least right after the procedure avoid sticky or hard food and extremely hot and cold food and beverages. Follow good daily hygiene habits to maintain healthy and strong teeth.
How much does cracked or chipped teeth treatment cost?
Costs will depend on the treatment you are having done, where you get it done and the type of material used. A basic breakdown of costs includes about £151 for a front tooth root canal and £294 for a back tooth root canal. About £100 for silver fillings and £150 for white fillings. Crowns will cost roughly about £134.
