Broke a Tooth?

Chipped, cracked, snapped, or shattered — we evaluate the damage and treat it same day. No referral. No waiting weeks. Walk in or book online right now.
⚠️ A broken tooth is not just a cosmetic problem. An exposed nerve or crack below the gumline can become a serious infection fast.
Your Emergency Dentist Is Right Here.
We built this office specifically for dental emergencies. No waiting weeks for a specialist — walk in or book online and we'll assess the damage and treat it today. Chipped teeth, broken crowns, cracked molars, and snapped teeth all handled in one visit.
When a Broken Tooth Is a Dental Emergency
Not every chip needs same-day care — but these situations do. If any of these apply to you, come in now.
Pain When Biting or Chewing
Sharp pain when you put pressure on the tooth means a crack or fracture may be exposing the nerve — needs immediate evaluation.
Throbbing Pain After the Break
Constant or throbbing pain following a break is a sign the pulp (nerve) has been exposed or damaged and requires same-day treatment.
Bleeding from the Tooth or Gum
Bleeding at the break site or surrounding gum tissue indicates trauma that needs professional evaluation right away.
Sensitivity to Hot, Cold, or Air
If the broken area is acutely sensitive, enamel or dentin has been exposed — leaving the nerve vulnerable to infection.
Large Piece Broken Off
When a significant portion of the tooth is missing, the structural integrity is compromised and the tooth needs urgent repair or assessment.
Swelling Around the Broken Tooth
Swelling in the gum near a broken tooth can signal a developing infection — especially if the break exposed the root or pulp.
A Broken Tooth Gets Worse Without Treatment.
⚠️ That Crack Can Keep Spreading
A fracture in a tooth doesn't stay where it is — it propagates. Every bite you take on an untreated broken tooth can drive that crack deeper toward the root. A tooth that's repairable today may need extraction next week. Beyond the structural damage, any break that exposes the dentin or pulp is an open door for bacteria. What starts as a chipped tooth can become an abscess, bone loss, or a systemic infection if left unaddressed.
Cracks deepen with every bite — a fixable tooth becomes an extraction
Exposed pulp allows bacteria straight to the nerve and root
Untreated infection spreads to the jawbone and surrounding teeth
A simple repair today costs far less than a root canal or extraction later
How We Handle Your Broken Tooth
Straightforward. Transparent. Same day. Here's exactly what to expect the moment you walk through our door.
Same-Day Exam & Digital X-Rays
We take targeted digital X-rays to see the full picture — how deep the crack goes, whether the nerve is involved, and whether the root is affected. You get a clear, honest diagnosis before any treatment begins. No guessing, no vague answers.
Treatment Plan & Upfront Cost Review
We walk you through exactly what we recommend — bonding repair, emergency build-up, root canal to save the tooth, or extraction if it can't be restored — and exactly what it costs before we start anything. No pressure, no surprises. You decide.
Same-Day Repair or Treatment
Minor chips and breaks can often be smoothed or bonded same day. Larger fractures may require a root canal or extraction if the nerve is involved — all performed right here without a referral or a second appointment. We treat the problem, not just the symptom.
Prescriptions, Aftercare & Clear Next Steps
You leave with any prescriptions needed, aftercare instructions, and a clear plan for what comes next. If a crown or permanent restoration is needed, we'll explain your options and timeline — no loose ends.

Broken Tooth FAQs
Straight answers — no runaround.
It depends on the severity. A small cosmetic chip with no pain may not need same-day care. But if the chip is large, causing pain, sensitivity, or sharp edges that cut your tongue or cheek, you should be seen today. Any break that exposes the inner dentin or nerve is an emergency — the sooner it's treated, the better the outcome.
In most cases, yes. After your exam and X-rays, we present your treatment options and costs — and if you choose to proceed, we treat you the same visit. Minor chips, emergency build-ups, root canals, and extractions are all handled right here. We'll tell you upfront if anything needs to be scheduled separately.
If you have the broken fragment, keep it — place it in a small container with milk or saliva to preserve it and bring it with you. In some cases it can be reattached or used as a reference. Rinse your mouth gently with warm water, apply a cold compress to reduce any swelling, and get to us as soon as possible.
That's exactly what we determine at your visit. Many broken teeth — even severely fractured ones — can be saved with a root canal and crown. Others that have split below the gumline or have extensive damage may need extraction. We give you an honest answer after examining the X-rays, before any treatment begins.
Always. After your exam and X-rays we review the recommended treatment and the exact cost before we touch anything. No surprise fees. You make the call with full information in hand.
We see patients with and without insurance every day. We are a fee-for-service office and accept financing through Cherry, CareCredit, and Proceed Finance — so cost is never a barrier to getting care today. We'll walk you through your options before treatment begins.
Yes — Spanish-speaking staff is always available. You're welcome to call or walk in and communicate entirely in Spanish.
Real People. Real Relief.
"I bit into something and heard a crack. Came straight here — they took X-rays, told me exactly what happened and what it would cost to fix, and did the root canal the same day. No referral, no waiting. Incredible."

— Google Review"Chipped my front tooth at work and was embarrassed to smile. They smoothed and repaired it the same afternoon. Taryn at the front desk was so kind. I was out in under two hours. Highly recommend."
