Fix Your Broken Teeth with Expert Care at With U Dental
Breaking a tooth isn’t just a pain—it’s a real confidence killer.
Whether it happened during a game, an accident, or even while biting into something hard, a broken tooth can leave you feeling self-conscious and in discomfort.
But don’t worry; at With U Dental, we’re here to fix it fast. Our team uses the latest technology and techniques to restore your tooth and your smile, so you can get back to feeling like yourself in no time.
What Are the Causes?
Broken teeth can happen for a variety of reasons, some of which might catch you by surprise:
- Accidents and Trauma: A fall, a car accident, or a hit to the face can easily result in a broken tooth. Even a seemingly minor impact can cause significant damage.
- Biting on Hard Objects: We’ve all been there—biting into something harder than expected, like a piece of ice or a popcorn kernel, can lead to a crack or break.
- Decay and Weakened Teeth: Teeth weakened by cavities or large fillings are more susceptible to breaking. The structural integrity of the tooth is compromised, making it easier to crack or chip.
- Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Constant grinding or clenching can wear down your teeth over time, making them more prone to breaking.
- Ageing: As we get older, our teeth can become more brittle, making them more vulnerable to breaks and cracks.
When Should I See A Dentist
If you’ve broken a tooth, don’t wait—seeing a dentist as soon as possible is crucial. Here’s why:
- Immediate Pain or Sensitivity: If your broken tooth is causing pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, or discomfort while chewing, it’s a sign that the damage might be severe. You need to get it checked out to prevent further complications.
- Visible Damage: Any visible cracks, chips, or breaks in your tooth should be assessed by a dentist. Even if it’s not causing pain, the break can worsen over time, leading to more serious issues.
- Injury to the Inside of the Tooth: A break that exposes the inner layers of your tooth (the dentin or pulp) requires urgent attention to avoid infection or the need for more extensive treatment, like a root canal.
- Difficulty Chewing or Biting: If your broken tooth is affecting your ability to eat, it’s time to see a dentist. A quick fix can restore your tooth’s function and prevent further damage.
Solutions for Broken Teeth
At With U Dental, we offer a range of solutions to fix your broken teeth, depending on the severity of the break:
- Dental Bonding: For minor chips and cracks, dental bonding is a quick and effective solution. We use a tooth-coloured resin to fill in the broken area, restoring the appearance and function of your tooth.
- Crowns: If a large portion of your tooth is broken, a dental crown may be the best option. Crowns are custom-made to fit over your existing tooth, providing strength and protection while looking completely natural.
- Veneers: For front teeth that are chipped or broken, veneers offer a cosmetic solution. These thin porcelain shells are bonded to the front of your teeth, giving you a flawless smile.
- Inlays and Onlays: When the break is too large for a filling but not severe enough for a crown, inlays and onlays provide a middle-ground solution. They’re custom-made to fit your tooth and restore its shape and function.
- Root Canal Treatment: If the break exposes the tooth’s pulp, a root canal may be necessary to remove the damaged tissue and prevent infection. After the root canal, a crown is usually placed to protect the tooth.
- Extraction and Replacement: In cases where the tooth is too damaged to be saved, we may need to extract it and discuss replacement options like dental implants or bridges to restore your smile.

How to Prevent Broken Teeth
Prevention is always better than cure. Here’s how you can protect your teeth from breaking:
- Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious when eating hard foods like ice, hard candies, and nuts. Chew slowly and carefully to avoid biting down too hard.
- Wear a Mouthguard: If you play contact sports or grind your teeth at night, wearing a custom mouthguard can protect your teeth from injury.
- Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Keeping your teeth strong and healthy with regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups reduces the risk of decay and breakage.
- Get Regular Dental Check-Ups: Regular visits to With U Dental allow us to catch potential problems early and treat them before they lead to a broken tooth.
