Cracked Tooth Repairs in Austin, TX

Tooth cracks can occur when your tooth is damaged by a hard fall, biting on something hard, or gradually over time due to tooth decay. If the crack is only in the enamel (the hard outer layer of your tooth), it may not need to be treated. However, if the crack extends into the second layer of your tooth (dentin), you will likely need to have it repaired.

Types of Dental Tooth Cracks

There are three different layers to the tooth: the enamel, dentin, and pulp. When there is damage to the enamel and dentin, it creates irritation to the pulp. If the pulp can no longer heal itself, it becomes damaged. There are also different types of tooth cracks, including:

Craze lines: These are very small cracks in the tooth that do not go all the way through the enamel. Craze lines usually do not cause any pain or require treatment.

Cracks that extend to the root: These cracks start on the chewing surface of the tooth and go all the way down to the root. These cracks can be very serious and need to be treated right away.

Cracks that run along the root: These cracks start at the chewing surface and run along the root of the tooth. These cracks can also be very serious and need to be treated right away.

Signs You Have a Cracked Tooth

Inflammation

Sensitivity

Pain

Pressure

Does Insurance Cover Cracked Tooth Repair?

Since the severity of the cracked tooth can dictate the treatment, it is best to check with your insurance company to see if they cover the procedure. Most insurance companies will cover at least part of the cost of cracked tooth repair, since it can be a necessary procedure to save the tooth.

"I've been seeing Dr. Patel for a few years now because Vida Dental has provided the best dental care I have experienced. He has always been very honest and straight forward with me, I truly feel like he cares about my health more than he does receiving my money. I also trust his knowledge and advice fully. Everyone else on the staff has also always been very lovely and genuine."

"I’ve been seeing Dr. Ryan for years, and wouldn’t trust my teeth with anyone else!! She’s the best dentist I’ve ever had—we’ve done clear care, whitening, cavity filling and cleanings and it’s always a pleasant experience. She cares deeply but is fun. I always enjoy going into the office and literally fly from New York to Austin to see her now! It’s totally worth the trip :)"
