Cracked Teeth Treatment Montgomery, NJ

A cracked tooth can cause discomfort and lead to further dental complications if left untreated. Whether caused by injury, teeth grinding or biting on hard foods, a crack in a tooth can affect both function and appearance. Prime Dental Care provides cracked teeth treatment in Montgomery, New Jersey, to restore oral health and prevent further damage.

Signs and Symptoms of a Cracked Tooth

Cracked teeth do not always cause immediate pain, but some common symptoms include:

  • Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
  • Pain when chewing or biting down
  • Swelling or irritation in the gums around the affected tooth
  • Intermittent discomfort that comes and goes
  • Visible cracks or fractures on the tooth surface

We carefully examine each case to determine the severity of the crack and recommend the most effective treatment.

Treatment Options for Cracked Teeth

The right treatment for a cracked tooth depends on the location and severity of the damage. Some common treatment options include:

  • Dental Bonding: A tooth-colored resin is applied to small cracks to restore structure and appearance.
  • Dental Crowns: A custom crown covers and protects the cracked tooth, preventing further damage.
  • Root Canal Therapy: If the crack extends into the pulp, root canal therapy removes infection and preserves the tooth.
  • Extraction: In severe cases where the crack extends below the gumline, tooth removal may be necessary.

Dr. Joyce Ma and our team provide personalized treatment plans to restore comfort and function.

To minimize the risk of cracked teeth, patients should:
