Cracked Teeth in Daphne, AL

Cracked teeth are a common dental problem, typically occurring as a result of injury, bruxism (grinding), or biting down on hard foods. The treatment for a cracked tooth depends on where the crack is and how deep into the tooth it goes. Regardless of how "minor" the tooth crack is, it's important to seek treatment as soon as possible to keep the damage from worsening. Led by Dr. Tres Manasco, an endodontist with decades of experience, Eastern Shore Endodontics performs cracked teeth repair with a focus on comfort and preserving our patients' natural smiles. Schedule a consultation at our office in Daphne, AL to learn more about our approach to fixing cracked teeth.

Before planning your treatment, we'll perform a comprehensive exam to assess the location and depth of the tooth crack. Our office uses advanced dental imaging, including cone-beam CT and digital x-rays, to give us the most complete view of your tooth and jaw. For minor damage, Dr. Manasco may repair the crack with dental resin and a crown to protect it. More extensive cracks may require root canal therapy or endodontic surgery to prevent the spread of infection. Our ultimate goal when fixing cracked teeth at Eastern Shore Endodontics is to clear out any existing infection and seal the tooth to restore its structure.

Cracking teeth aren't just a cosmetic issue — they are much more vulnerable to breaking or becoming infected, which can seriously impact the health of your smile. Fixing cracked teeth promptly benefits your oral health in a number of ways by:

  • Reducing your risk of infection or dental damage
  • Restoring the function and appeal of your tooth
  • Minimizing the need for tooth extraction or oral surgery in the future
  • Allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without discomfort

What is a craze line?

Craze lines are tiny, shallow cracks in the outer enamel. They’re usually harmless and common in adults, often requiring no treatment.

Can a cracked tooth be saved?

Many cracked teeth can be saved with early treatment. Deep or vertical root cracks are more difficult and may require extraction.

How can I prevent cracked teeth?

Avoid chewing hard objects like ice or pens, wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth, and don’t use your teeth to open packages.

If you have a cracked tooth, don't wait to seek treatment. Cracked teeth do not heal on their own and can greatly impact your oral (and overall) health, so contact Eastern Shore Endodontics in Daphne, AL, right away to schedule an exam and treatment. Dr. Manasco and our team are dedicated to delivering effective treatments built around your needs.
