3 Ways Our Family Dentists Can Help Repair a Damaged Tooth
Whether you took a fall when you were playing sports, or you cracked your tooth eating a hard candy or ice, breaking your tooth can be a worrying experience. But don’t panic! When you act fast, it’s very possible to repair your tooth and return the aesthetics to your smile.
Here are 3 treatments our Calgary dentists provide to help fix a broken tooth:
1. Dental Implants
If the crack in your tooth moves below the gum line, or your tooth is beyond treatment, your family dentist may suggest replacing it with a dental implant. He/she will extract the damaged tooth and place an implant in the gap.
Dental implants are designed to take the place of your missing teeth and act your tooth’s new root. Here’s what to expect from the procedure:
- Titanium screws are surgically placed into your jawbone to act as the new root for your tooth.
- 2-3 months will be needed to allow your bone to heal and fuse with the screws. This will ensure a lasting foundation.
- Following healing, your dentist will customize the abutment and create a dental crown to place on top of the implant.
- The permanent dental crown will be placed and your dentist will ensure a comfortable, natural, and secure fit.

2. Dental Veneers
If you have a cracked tooth, a veneer can provide the perfect treatment option. Designed to be a cover for your tooth, most dentists opt for porcelain veneers because they provide the most attractive and realistic results. With good care, veneers can even last up to 30 years!
Some of the concerns veneers can correct include:
- Discoloured teeth
- Teeth that are worn down
- Teeth that are chipped or broken
- Misaligned, irregularly shaped, or uneven teeth
- Teeth with gaps between them

3. Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is the application of a tooth-coloured composite resin to repair a chipped, fractured, decayed, or discoloured tooth. Unlike veneers which need to be manufactured in a laboratory and require a customized mould, dental bonding can be done in just a single visit.
Some of the benefits of dental bonding include:
- Little to no removal of enamel is required, retaining the health and natural structure of your tooth.
- It’s a less extensive procedure than other restorations, such as dental crowns or veneers.
- It can be completed in one appointment.
- If you take care of your teeth, this can last you up to 10 years.
