Broken Tooth in Framingham, MA

If you’ve cracked, chipped, or broken a tooth, prompt treatment is essential to prevent pain, infection, or further damage. At Atlantis Dental, we offer immediate and long-lasting solutions to restore both function and appearance.

Why Addressing a Broken Tooth Matters

A broken tooth can expose sensitive inner layers, increasing the risk of pain, decay, and infection. Even minor chips can worsen over time if left untreated.

Early professional care helps relieve discomfort, protect the remaining tooth structure, and restore the health and look of your smile.

When You Come to Atlantis Dental for a Broken Tooth, You Can Expect:

Immediate evaluation to determine the severity of the damage and prevent further complications
Fast, same-day solutions to relieve pain and protect your tooth
A variety of restorative options, from bonding and fillings to crowns and inlays, depending on the break
Expert recommendations on the best treatment for long-term function and aesthetics
Personalized follow-up care to ensure proper healing and restoration durability

What Broken Tooth Treatments We Offer

Here’s a detailed look at the restorative options available at our Framingham office:

Composite Fillings

For small chips or fractures, composite fillings offer a quick and natural-looking repair.

Restores the shape and strength of the tooth
Matches your natural enamel seamlessly
Protects the tooth from further damage
Ideal for minor breaks or surface damage

Porcelain Crowns

When damage is more extensive, a custom porcelain crown can fully restore the tooth.

Covers and protects the entire tooth structure
Restores strength, function, and appearance
Prevents further cracking or breakage
Blends naturally with surrounding teeth

Inlays & Onlays

For damage that’s too large for a filling but doesn’t require a full crown, inlays and onlays are a great solution.

Conserves more of the natural tooth
Offers precise, durable coverage for damaged areas
Strengthens the tooth structure
Aesthetic and long-lasting

Tooth Extraction & Replacement

If the tooth cannot be saved, extraction followed by replacement ensures long-term oral health.

Safe and comfortable tooth removal when necessary
Implant or bridge options to restore function and aesthetics
Protects neighboring teeth from shifting
Prevents infection and future complications

Home Care Education & Support

You play a vital role in your oral health. We help by:

Teaching proper brushing, flossing, and interdental cleaning
Suggesting the best toothbrushes, floss, picks, water flossers, mouth rinses, etc.
Recommending night guards if you grind or clench your teeth
Advising on nutrition, sugar intake, and acidic foods
Working with you on quitting tobacco or vaping (which greatly harm gums and teeth)

How Often Should You Visit?

Generally healthy patients: Every 6 months (twice per year)
Higher risk patients (history of gum disease, implants, complicated restorations, smoking): Every 3 to 4 months
Post–deep cleaning / periodontal treatment: Maintenance cleanings often every 3 months to prevent relapse

Your dentist will tailor a schedule based on your condition, risk factors, and past dental history.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Broken Tooth FAQs — Atlantis Dental, Framingham MA

Is a broken tooth always an emergency?

Not always, but it’s best to get evaluated as soon as possible to prevent complications like pain or infection.

Can a chipped tooth heal on its own?

No — teeth cannot regrow enamel. Professional treatment is necessary to restore structure and prevent further damage.

Will fixing a broken tooth hurt?

Most treatments are quick and comfortable with local anesthesia. Any post-treatment sensitivity is usually mild and temporary.

What if my tooth broke below the gum line?

If a break extends too far, extraction may be needed. We’ll discuss restorative options like implants or bridges to bring your smile back.
