Repair That Goes

A cracked tooth can range from a barely-there hairline fracture to a break that makes chewing more of a chore. The good news? With the right care from our Portland dentist, your tooth doesn’t just have to “hang in there.” It can get the support it needs to stay strong for years to come. At Pacific Woods Dental, we’re your partners in keeping those pearly whites resilient, no matter what life throws your way.

Cracked Teeth and
How We Fix Them

A Careful Look at Cracked Teeth
and How We Fix Them

Not sure if something feels off with your tooth? Here are a few signs you might be dealing with a crack:
  • Sharp Pain When Biting
  • Temperature Sensitivity 
  • Pain That Comes and Goes
  • Swelling or Irritation 
If you come into our West Portland dental office with these symptoms, we’ll check out the crack and figure out the best way to fix it. For smaller cracks, we might suggest dental bonding. For bigger fractures, a tooth crown could be the way to go for extra protection. If the crack goes deeper, we’ll talk about options like a root canal.

Catch a Crack Early, Save Your Smile

Making Room for
What Comes Next

Early treatment comes with plenty of perks. You can save your natural tooth from further damage (and avoid an extraction), prevent pain, and steer clear of complications or costly repairs. Taking care of your teeth now means fewer headaches later.

At Pacific Woods Dental, we get that life is busy. Dental care shouldn’t slow you down, so we offer early morning Thursday appointments—get treated and still make it to work on time. Plus, our advanced diagnostic tools take the guesswork out of treatment planning, and our cozy amenities make every visit a little more enjoyable.

FAQs: A Field Guide
to Cracked Teeth

Trees
Will hairline cracks in teeth get bigger?

Some hairline cracks worsen over time, while others are harmless. Since it’s hard for the average person to know the difference, leave it to our dentist in West Hills. 

We may use different methods, like bonding, for minor cracks in front teeth to help preserve aesthetics. Molars, which endure more force and pressure, may need a crown to keep your smile strong. We’ll discuss all your options.

While at-home remedies like rinsing with salt water can help reduce swelling or discomfort, they won’t heal the crack. Only professional treatment can properly repair and protect your tooth.

Severe cracks, especially accompanied by intense pain, bleeding, or swelling, are urgent. Don’t wait to contact our Portland emergency dentist
