Broken Tooth Repair in Westminster, London

Dental Treatment Options

• Dental bonding - For minor breaks, we can apply and shape tooth-coloured composite resin to restore the tooth's appearance and function. This quick, effective treatment is often completed in a single visit at our Westminster, London practice.
• Dental crowns - When a significant portion of the tooth is damaged, a crown (cap) is placed over the remaining tooth structure to protect it and restore full function. Crowns are custom-made to match your natural teeth.
• Root canal treatment - If the break is severe enough to expose or damage the tooth's pulp, root canal treatment may be needed to remove the damaged tissue, treat any infection, and save the tooth before fitting a crown.
• Dental veneers - For front teeth with minor fractures, a porcelain veneer can be bonded to the front surface to restore the tooth's shape and provide a natural, aesthetically pleasing result.
• Tooth extraction and replacement - If the tooth is broken below the gum line or the damage is too extensive to repair, extraction may be necessary. We can then discuss replacement options such as dental implants or bridges.

Prevention Tips

• Wear a custom-fitted mouthguard when playing contact sports or engaging in activities with a risk of facial impact.
• If you grind your teeth at night, speak to us about a night guard to protect your teeth while you sleep.
• Address tooth decay promptly — early fillings prevent the extensive damage that can lead to breakage.
• Avoid chewing on hard objects like ice, pen caps, hard sweets, and popcorn kernels.
• Maintain regular dental check-ups so that weakened teeth or large fillings can be monitored and treated before they break.
• Use your teeth only for chewing food — never as tools to open bottles, tear packaging, or cut tape.
