Cracked Tooth Treatment at Premier Dental of Johnstown

A cracked tooth can cause discomfort, sensitivity, and affect your daily routine. Whether from an injury, stress, or natural wear, cracks in teeth should never be ignored. At Premier Dental of Johnstown, we specialize in treating cracked teeth, providing you with the right solutions to restore your smile and protect your oral health.

Why Should You Address a Cracked Tooth?

A cracked tooth might not always cause immediate pain, but it can worsen over time. Without proper treatment, cracks can deepen, causing increased pain, infection, or even tooth loss. Seeking treatment promptly can save your tooth and prevent more complicated procedures down the road.

Common Causes of a Cracked Tooth

There are many reasons why a tooth may crack, including:

• Accidental trauma or injury to the mouth

• Chewing on hard foods like ice or hard candy

• Grinding teeth, which can weaken the tooth enamel

• Natural wear and tear due to age or large fillings

No matter the cause, Premier Dental of Johnstown is here to help you address the issue and restore your dental health.

Treatment Options for Cracked Teeth

At Premier Dental of Johnstown, we offer several treatment options based on the severity of the crack:

• Dental Bonding: For minor cracks, we apply a tooth-colored resin to restore the tooth's shape and function.

• Crowns: If the crack is more severe, a crown can be placed to protect the tooth and restore its strength.

• Root Canal Therapy: If the crack affects the tooth’s pulp, a root canal can remove the infection and preserve the tooth.

• Extraction and Replacement: In rare cases, a cracked tooth may be beyond repair, and extraction followed by a dental implant may be necessary.
