Cracked Tooth Repair in Atlanta, GA
Cracked teeth can range from minor surface cracks to more serious fractures that reach the tooth's root. Left untreated, cracks can worsen over time, leading to increased pain, infection, or tooth loss. At Smile Forever Atlanta, we offer same-day emergency appointments to evaluate and treat cracked teeth quickly, helping to relieve pain and prevent further damage.
How Is a Cracked Tooth Treated?
Treatment depends on the severity and location of the crack. Dr. Patel will examine the tooth, and may use X-rays, to determine the best course of action. Minor cracks may be treated with bonding, while more significant fractures often require a crown for protection and support. In cases where the crack has reached the tooth's pulp, root canal therapy may be necessary before restoring the tooth.
