Saturday and Sunday Visits
Accidents happen on weekends too, and weekend appointments are available for urgent cases.
Reasons to Act Before the Crack Grows
1
Teeth Can’t Mend Themselves
A broken bone knits back together, but a cracked tooth doesn’t. Normal chewing keeps stressing the fracture and can push it deeper.
2
Catching It Early Keeps Choices Open
A small crack found early may only need bonding. The same crack, left alone, can advance until a root canal or extraction is the only answer.
3
A Sealed Tooth Resists Infection
Once a crack opens a path to the inner tooth, bacteria can follow. Treating it sooner helps keep that from happening.
4
Your Own Tooth Is Worth Keeping
Timely care gives us the best chance to preserve the tooth you have instead of replacing it down the road.

Cracked Tooth FAQs for Manor Patients
How can I tell if a tooth is cracked?
Typical clues include a jab of pain when you bite or when you let go, sensitivity to hot or cold that comes and goes, and vague discomfort you can’t trace to one tooth. Some cracks are visible, but many aren’t, so an exam is the only dependable way to confirm one.
Does a cracked tooth need urgent care?
Treat any crack that hurts, or that you think might be deep, as something to have checked right away. Prompt attention helps stop it from getting worse.
Is it possible to save a cracked tooth?
Often, yes, especially when it’s found early. The crack’s type and depth decide whether bonding, a crown, or a root canal offers the best chance.
What if I leave the crack alone?
It can travel deeper, reach the nerve, or split the tooth. At that stage removal is frequently the only choice, whereas earlier care might have kept the tooth.
What will treatment cost?
Cost depends on the crack and the treatment it needs. Bonding is usually the most affordable option, while a root canal or extraction costs more. A guaranteed payment plan is available to make care easier to manage.
