Tooth Repair Options at Prime Dental Care
Cosmetic Bonding
Ideal for small chips or minor cracks, dental bonding uses tooth-colored resin to restore the shape and surface of the tooth. It’s non-invasive and completed in one visit.
Dental Crowns
For deeper cracks or weakened teeth, a custom crown covers and protects the entire tooth. We use high-quality porcelain or ceramic for strength and a natural appearance.
Tooth-Colored Fillings or Inlays
When a fracture affects the interior of the tooth, we may use composite fillings or inlays and onlays to restore structure and function.
Root Canal Therapy
If the crack extends into the pulp, root canal therapy may be needed to remove infection and save the tooth before restoring it with a crown.
Emergency Tooth Repair
For sudden injuries or pain, we offer same-day emergency appointments and work quickly to relieve discomfort and stabilize the tooth.
What to Expect During Tooth Repair
- Assessment & Imaging
We evaluate the damage using digital X-rays and a visual exam to determine the best treatment. - Treatment Planning
Based on the type, location, and extent of damage, we’ll recommend a repair approach that balances strength and esthetics. - Tooth Restoration
Treatment may involve shaping, bonding, crowning, or rebuilding the tooth. We always focus on preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. - Follow-Up & Prevention
We’ll guide you on how to prevent future damage—such as with a nightguard for grinding or updated hygiene techniques.

FAQs About Tooth Repair
What should I do if I chip or crack a tooth?
Rinse your mouth with warm water and call our office. If possible, save any tooth fragments. We’ll schedule you for evaluation and treatment right away.
Can small chips be repaired without a crown?
Yes. Many minor chips can be treated with dental bonding or smoothing, depending on the size and location.
Will a cracked tooth heal on its own?
No. Once cracked, a tooth won’t regenerate. Professional treatment is needed to prevent further damage or infection.
How long does bonding or crown placement take?
Bonding is usually completed in one visit. Crowns may take two visits unless same-day crown technology is used (depending on the case).
Is tooth repair covered by insurance?
Many dental plans cover medically necessary repairs. We also offer CareCredit and Sunbit financing, plus savings through our Prime Smile Club.
