A chipped tooth occurs when a piece of the hard outer enamel breaks away, while a cracked or fractured tooth involves a deeper split that can extend toward the root. The Cleveland Clinic notes that common causes include sports injuries, falls, biting hard foods or ice, and grinding, and treatment can range from simple polishing to bonding, veneers, crowns, or a root canal depending on severity. The American Dental Association recommends rinsing with warm water, applying a cold compress, and seeing a dentist promptly.

Damage isn’t always painful in the early stages. The most common signs we see include:
If you’re not sure what the visit itself involves, here’s a quick overview: after your exam and X-ray confirm the extent of the damage, bonding is often completed the same day — the area is numbed only if needed, and the composite resin is shaped and hardened directly onto the tooth, typically taking 30 to 60 minutes. A crown usually requires two visits, one to prepare the tooth and a second to place the finished restoration once it’s back from the lab. Mild sensitivity to hot or cold for a few days afterward is normal and usually resolves on its own.
Since Savage has such a mix of newer and longtime residents, we see patients at every stage of restorative need. Bonding is generally sufficient when a chip is caught early. When a fracture has weakened a large portion of the tooth, a crown may be more practical long-term. If the crack has reached the inner nerve, a root canal is typically needed first. We’ll help you sort through the options honestly at your first visit.
