RESTORE AND PROTECT A DAMAGED TOOTH
Cracked and Chipped Teeth in Toronto
Why Do Teeth
Crack or Chip?
Teeth can become cracked or chipped because of dental injuries, biting hard foods, grinding or clenching, weakened tooth structure, large existing fillings, or everyday wear. Damage can range from a small cosmetic chip to a deeper crack affecting the strength or internal tissues of the tooth.
At Beach Dental in Toronto, your dentist can examine the damaged tooth and determine how far the crack or chip extends. Treatment depends on the amount of healthy tooth structure remaining and whether the dental pulp has been affected.
