Their FAQ
Answers from their website.
Is a broken tooth always considered a dental emergency?
Not always, but it does require prompt evaluation. Even if you’re not in pain, a cracked or broken tooth can worsen quickly. Seeing a dentist soon prevents infection, deeper fractures, and possible tooth loss.
Can a dental crown fix any type of broken tooth?
Most fractures can be restored with a crown, but very deep breaks may require root canal therapy or extraction. Your dentist will check the tooth to determine the safest and most effective option.
Will a broken tooth always hurt?
No. Many broken teeth cause little or no pain at first. However, lack of pain doesn’t mean the tooth is healthy. Damage can progress silently, making early treatment important.
How long does a dental crown last?
With optimal oral hygiene and routine dental care, a crown can last 10–15 years or longer. Habits like grinding or chewing very hard foods may affect longevity.
What should I do if my tooth breaks outside regular office hours?
Rinse gently, avoid chewing on that side, and call your dentist’s emergency line if available. Avoid using temporary glues or household adhesives. Professional care is still needed even if symptoms seem mild.
Need another dentist?
