Understanding broken tooth repair
A broken, chipped, or cracked tooth is one of the most common dental emergencies. Whether caused by an accident, biting on something hard, or a weakened tooth giving way, prompt repair is important to prevent further damage, sensitivity, infection, and aesthetic concerns.
Types of tooth fracture
- Enamel chip — a small piece of the outer enamel breaks off. Usually painless but may have sharp edges
- Enamel-dentine fracture — the break extends into the dentine layer. May cause sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet
- Fracture involving the pulp — the nerve of the tooth is exposed. Causes significant pain and requires urgent treatment
- Root fracture — a crack below the gum line. May not be visible but causes pain on biting
- Avulsed (knocked-out) tooth — the entire tooth is displaced. Time-critical — reimplantation within 30 minutes gives the best outcome
Repair options
The most appropriate repair depends on the type and extent of the fracture:
- Composite bonding (from £197.50 member) — tooth-coloured resin sculpted directly onto the tooth. Ideal for chips and minor fractures. Often completed in a single visit
- Porcelain veneer (from £547.50 member) — a thin porcelain shell bonded to the front surface. Excellent aesthetics for front teeth
- Dental crown (from £347.50 member) — a full-coverage cap for extensively damaged teeth. Requires two appointments
- Root canal + crown — when the fracture exposes or damages the nerve, root canal treatment may be needed before a crown is placed
- Extraction — when the tooth is fractured beyond repair, extraction followed by replacement (bridge, implant, or denture) may be recommended
What to do immediately after breaking a tooth
- Save any large fragments — your dentist may be able to reattach them
- Rinse your mouth gently with warm water
- Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling
- If bleeding, apply gentle pressure with clean gauze
- Take over-the-counter painkillers if needed (not aspirin directly on the gum)
- If a tooth is knocked out completely, keep it moist in milk or saliva
- Contact us immediately — the sooner you are seen, the better the outcome in many cases
Risks and important information
As with any dental procedure, broken tooth repair carries risks. Composite bonding may chip or stain over time and typically needs replacing every 5–10 years. Crowns require permanent removal of tooth structure. Root canal treatment has a high success rate but is not guaranteed. In some cases, a tooth that appears repairable may need extraction if further investigation reveals the fracture extends below the bone level. Your dentist will discuss all risks specific to your case and obtain informed consent before treatment.
Prevention
While accidents cannot always be prevented, you can reduce the risk of tooth fractures by wearing a mouthguard during contact sports, avoiding biting on hard objects (ice, pen caps, nutshells), addressing teeth grinding (bruxism) with a night guard, and maintaining regular dental check-ups to detect weakened teeth early.

Broken Tooth Repair FAQs
How much does broken tooth repair cost in London?
Emergency composite bonding repair starts from £197.50 for SPMD members (from £395 standard). The emergency exam costs £95 (£47.50 for members, £30 for new patients). X-rays are £20 (£10 for members) if clinically needed. If a crown is required, costs start from £347.50 for members. You receive a written treatment plan with exact costs before any work begins.
Can a broken tooth be repaired on the same day?
Many broken teeth can be repaired on the same day using composite bonding, which is sculpted directly onto the tooth. More extensive damage may require a crown, which typically takes two appointments. Your dentist will assess the damage and advise on the most suitable repair.
What should I do immediately after breaking a tooth?
If you break a tooth: save any large pieces, rinse your mouth gently with warm water, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, take over-the-counter painkillers if needed, and contact us as soon as possible. If the tooth has been knocked out completely, keep it moist (in milk or saliva) and attend within 30 minutes for the best chance of reimplantation.
What are the repair options for a broken tooth?
Options depend on the severity: composite bonding for chips and minor fractures, porcelain veneers for front teeth with aesthetic damage, dental crowns for more extensive damage, root canal treatment if the nerve is exposed, or extraction as a last resort if the tooth cannot be saved. Your dentist will discuss all options, risks, and costs.
Is broken tooth repair painful?
Composite bonding for minor chips often requires no anaesthetic at all. For more extensive repairs, local anaesthetic ensures the procedure is comfortable. Some patients experience mild sensitivity for a few days afterward. Individual experiences vary.
Will the repair look natural?
Modern composite bonding and porcelain crowns are colour-matched to your natural teeth. Composite bonding results are typically very good for front teeth. Porcelain crowns provide the most durable and natural-looking result for larger repairs. Results vary depending on the extent of damage and repair method.
How long does a broken tooth repair last?
Composite bonding typically lasts 5–10 years with proper care. Porcelain crowns last 10–15+ years. Longevity depends on the size and location of the repair, your bite, oral hygiene, and habits such as teeth grinding. Your dentist will discuss expected outcomes specific to your case.
Can a cracked tooth heal on its own?
Unlike bones, teeth cannot heal or regenerate. A cracked tooth will not repair itself and may worsen over time, potentially leading to infection, further fracture, or tooth loss. Professional treatment is essential to prevent complications.
Do I need a crown or just bonding?
Small chips and minor fractures can usually be repaired with composite bonding. Larger breaks, especially those affecting the structural integrity of the tooth, typically require a crown. Teeth that have had root canal treatment usually need a crown for protection. Your dentist will recommend the most appropriate option.
