Your problem
Broken tooth
A tooth can break from an accident or give way on its own over time. In most cases we can save it — and the sooner we see it, the more we can preserve.

A tooth can break in many ways — a fall or a knock in children, or an older filling or weakened tooth in adults that gives way under chewing. Regardless of the cause, the guiding principle is the same: we limit the damage and preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible.
How we help
What we do depends on the extent of the fracture:
- A small chip can often be smoothed gently and polished so the edge feels even again.
- A broken filling is removed and replaced with a new one.
- A larger fracture is rebuilt with a filling, or the tooth is covered with a crown so it can withstand chewing again.
- A deep fracture below the bone level can be difficult to save — but even then, we will find a good solution together, such as an implant.
When it happens urgently
A broken tooth can be painful, and the edge can be sharp. You do not have to wait and put up with it. Call the clinic before 9 am and we will find an emergency appointment the same day and put your mind at ease.

Questions & answers
FAQ
What should I do if a tooth has just broken?
Keep the broken piece in a little milk or saliva if possible, and call us. In the event of an acute injury or pain, we will find a same-day appointment if you call before 9 am.
Can a broken tooth always be saved?
Usually, yes. A small chip can often be smoothed and polished, while a larger fracture can be rebuilt with a filling or crown. Only when the break extends deep beneath the gumline may the tooth be difficult to save.
