What Causes Teeth to Crack?
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.
How Are Cracked Teeth Fixed?
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.
What Are the Benefits of Addressing Cracking Teeth?
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
Eastern Shore Endodontics Reviews
I was very pleased with my experience at Eastern Shore Endodontics! Dr. Manasco was very courteous and professional. He has great bedside manners. He made me feel at ease during the procedure and explained the process every step of the way. His office staff was very courteous and professional as well. From scheduling my appointment to getting the procedure done, they were very helpful. Dr. Manasco even called me later that evening to check on me. His level of care and concern is very impressive. I will definitely visit him again if the need should arise.
Wonderful experience. Everyone was amazing!
Dr. Manasco and his staff are very friendly & helpful. The doctor explained everything that he needed to do in terms I could understand and my options. He was also gentle during the procedure. I’d recommend this clean, friendly and helpful Endodontics office.
the coordinated work between dr. manasco and his assistant was a beautiful thing. similar to the feeling one gets when watching an athlete at the top if his game.
