Broken Chipped Tooth

Broken or Chipped Tooth Treatment in Lahore

A broken or chipped tooth can happen suddenly whether from biting down on something hard, a fall, or a sports injury. While it might seem like a minor issue, even small chips or cracks can compromise your tooth’s structure and lead to pain, sensitivity, or infection if left untreated. We provide immediate and effective treatments to restore your tooth’s appearance and function, helping you smile confidently again.

What Causes a Tooth to Chip?

Teeth are strong, but not indestructible. Common causes include:

Biting hard substances (ice, candy, nuts)
Trauma from falls or accidents
Teeth grinding (bruxism)
Decay that reduces tooth strength

Symptoms of a Chipped or Broken Tooth

Sometimes, chips are obvious, but others may go unnoticed until symptoms appear. Look out for:

Sharp or rough edges in your mouth
Sudden tooth pain or sensitivity to hot/cold
Pain while chewing
Visible crack or missing piece
Swelling around the affected area

Treatment Options at AURA

Our dental professionals will assess the damage and recommend the most suitable solution based on the severity of the break. Common treatments include:

Dental Bonding – For small chips, composite resin is applied to restore shape and appearance.
Porcelain Veneers – Thin shells that cover front surface of teeth, ideal for visible front tooth damage.
Dental Crowns – Cap the entire tooth when larger portions are broken.
Root Canal Therapy – Required if the break exposes the nerve and causes infection.
Tooth Extraction – Only for severely damaged teeth that can’t be saved.

We focus on both function and aesthetics—so you’ll leave with a tooth that looks and feels natural.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a chipped tooth a dental emergency?

It depends on the severity. Minor chips can wait a day or two, but larger breaks or pain require immediate attention.

What should I do right after chipping a tooth?

Rinse your mouth with warm water, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, and book a dental appointment ASAP.

Will a chipped tooth heal on its own?

No. Once chipped, the tooth won’t regenerate. It must be repaired by a dentist.

Is it painful to fix a chipped tooth?

Most procedures are painless and can be done in a single visit.

Can I eat normally after repair?

Yes, but you should avoid very hard foods for a few days, especially if a crown or veneer was placed.

Can a chipped tooth become infected?

Yes. If the inner pulp is exposed, bacteria can cause infection, requiring a root canal.

Are chipped teeth common?

Yes, they’re among the most frequent dental injuries, especially in people who grind their teeth or play contact sports.

Is bonding a permanent solution?

Bonding can last several years but may wear or discolor over time. Veneers or crowns offer more durability.
