Broken Tooth Dentist in Beverly Hills

A piece of your tooth might break while you're eating, or you may spot a crack around an old filling. The damage isn't always easy to judge by looking in the mirror, especially when the tooth still feels normal.

At Clove Dental Beverly Hills, we check the affected tooth and explain what we find. Whether you need a simple repair or more extensive dental work, we'll help you understand your choices and what happens next.

If you need a broken tooth dentist in Beverly Hills, our office can assess anything from a small enamel chip to a damaged back tooth. Some teeth can be repaired with dental bonding or a filling. Others may need a crown, particularly when a large portion has broken away. We'll examine the tooth before recommending a suitable option.

What Can You Expect From Our Beverly Hills Dental Team?

At Clove Dental Beverly Hills, we know you may have questions about saving the tooth, managing discomfort, or getting back to eating normally. We'll discuss your concerns, explain the recommended repair, and give you time to understand the treatment before it begins.

Here's how we help patients with damaged teeth:

  • Convenient Beverly Hills location: Our office is at 9001 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 303, Beverly Hills, CA 90211. Call 310-984-1416 to ask about appointments for a broken or chipped tooth.
  • Repairs suited to the damage: We may use tooth-colored fillings or bonding for smaller breaks. When more of the tooth needs support, a dental crown may be recommended.
  • Careful examination: We'll check the fracture, surrounding tooth structure, and how your teeth come together when you bite. Dental X-rays can help us assess damage that isn't visible during an examination.
  • Clear payment information: We'll explain the proposed treatment and help you review insurance benefits or available financing options before scheduling your repair.

FAQ

Broken Tooth Dentist

Can a dentist save a tooth that has broken below the gumline?

 Sometimes, but it depends on how far the fracture extends and how much healthy tooth remains. Your dentist may recommend a crown or another restorative procedure if the tooth can be saved. A fracture extending into the root may make extraction necessary. 

Why does my cracked tooth hurt only when I bite down?

 A crack can allow parts of the tooth to move slightly under chewing pressure, irritating the sensitive tissue inside. The pain may disappear once you stop biting. This pattern can indicate a cracked tooth, so arrange an examination even if the discomfort is brief. 

Can I still brush my teeth if one is broken?

 Yes. Continue brushing gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush, taking care around sharp or sensitive areas. Keep the tooth clean without putting extra pressure on it. If brushing causes significant pain or bleeding, contact your dentist for advice. 

What happens if a broken tooth has exposed its nerve?

 When a fracture exposes the pulp, the tooth may become extremely sensitive or painful. Root canal treatment may be possible if the tooth can be restored. If you suspect the inner tissue is exposed, contact a broken tooth dentist in Beverly Hills promptly for an assessment. 

Is broken tooth treatment covered by insurance?

 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.
