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 falls, sports and training injuries, biting hard foods, and grinding, with treatment ranging 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 — especially important when a PCS move or deployment is on the horizon.
Cracks and chips aren’t always obvious right after an impact. Common signs include:
A minor chip is typically treated with same-visit bonding, which fits well into a tight PCS or deployment window. Once a fracture involves a larger portion of the tooth, a crown offers more durable long-term protection, though it may require a second visit for the lab-made crown to be ready. If a crack has reached the tooth’s inner nerve and is causing infection or persistent pain, a root canal is usually needed first. For service members working against the clock, we’ll be upfront with you about which treatment path fits your timeline and which one is truly necessary.
Cost varies significantly depending on whether bonding, a crown, or a more involved repair is needed. We regularly help patients verify their TRICARE and other insurance benefits before treatment, and we understand the paperwork and referral processes that often come with military dental coverage. Patients without applicable coverage can also ask about our in-house membership plan.
After bonding or a crown, avoid chewing ice, hard candy, or pens, and let us know if you’re heading into a training environment where a mouthguard might help protect the repair. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine cleanings and checkups go a long way toward keeping a repaired tooth intact.
