In many cases, yes. A small chip might be repaired with bonding or a filling, while a larger break may need a crown. If the damage reaches the pulp inside the tooth, root canal treatment may be needed. Your dentist will examine the tooth before recommending a repair. 

 It depends on the damage. Severe pain, ongoing bleeding, swelling, or an exposed inner part of the tooth calls for urgent attention. Even if you're not in pain, contact a dentist promptly. A broken tooth can sometimes be more damaged than it first appears. 

 Gently rinse your mouth with warm water. If you can find the broken piece, keep it in a clean container and bring it to your appointment. Avoid chewing on that side, and use a cold compress against your cheek if there's swelling. Call your dentist as soon as possible.  

 A minor chip can sometimes be repaired in one visit. If you need a crown or root canal treatment, the process may take longer or involve more than one appointment. We'll give you a clearer idea of the timeline once we've examined the tooth. 

 Some dental insurance plans cover part of the cost of repairing a broken tooth, particularly when the work is needed to restore its function. The amount covered depends on your plan and the procedure involved. Our team can help you review your benefits and understand your payment options.
