What You Gain by Repairing It Early
1
Less Pain and Sensitivity
A fracture can uncover the tender inner layers of the tooth, which react sharply to hot, cold, and biting pressure. Sealing and rebuilding it calms that response.
2
Lower Risk of Infection
Once the inside of a tooth is exposed, bacteria can travel toward the nerve. Treating it promptly helps you avoid needing a root canal or extraction later.
3
No Further Breakage
A weakened tooth can keep chipping or split apart entirely. Fixing it sooner is generally simpler and less costly.
4
Back to Eating and Smiling Normally
Front tooth or back molar, repair returns the shape and strength you need to chew, talk, and smile with confidence.

Broken Tooth Repair FAQs for North Austin Patients
Does a broken tooth count as an emergency?
Usually it does. A break can expose nerve tissue and let bacteria in, raising the chance of infection and more damage. If you have pain, a sharp edge, or bleeding, call us for an urgent appointment.
What are the first steps after breaking a tooth?
Rinse gently with warm water, keep any pieces you can find, and hold a cold compress against your cheek to limit swelling. Chew on the opposite side and call (512) 961-6200 right away.
How long does the repair take, and will it hurt?
Bonding often takes under an hour in one visit, while crowns generally need one to two visits. If a root canal is involved, expect more time. We numb the area for any treatment that could cause discomfort, and bonding is typically comfortable without anesthesia.
What will it cost?
It depends on how severe the break is and which treatment you need. Bonding usually costs the least, and crowns or root canals cost more because of added time and materials. We offer payment plan options so cost doesn’t delay your care.
Can a broken tooth heal by itself?
No. Enamel and the layer beneath it can’t regrow, so a fractured tooth needs treatment to stop it from getting worse.
