Have you recently chipped or cracked a tooth? Accidents happen. We’re here to restore your smile! Even minor chips can weaken a tooth or lead to sensitivity, so prompt care is essential. Whether your tooth was cracked while eating, playing sports, or due to an injury, we can help.

Schedule an appointment today. Our Laguna Hills chipped tooth repair team is equipped with gentle and effective treatment options.

What causes chipped or cracked teeth

  • Trauma or injury to the mouth
  • Clenching or grinding of the teeth (bruxism)
  • Chewing hard foods or objects
  • Tooth decay or cavities
  • Old fillings or dental work that has become worn or damaged
  • Weak or brittle teeth due to age, genetics, or certain medical conditions
  • Malocclusion (an improper bite)
  • Using the teeth as tools (such as to open bottles or packages)
  • Acidity or erosion from consuming highly acidic foods and beverages

It’s important to note that some teeth may be more susceptible to chipping or cracking than others, such as teeth that are already weakened by decay or those that have had previous dental work. Regardless of the cause of your chipped teeth, our team is here to help you find the appropriate treatment and bring back the beauty and well-being of your smile.

Our chipped tooth repair options

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are custom-made shells that cover the front surface of a chipped tooth, providing a durable and natural-looking solution. Veneers can effectively conceal minor chips and imperfections, enhancing the overall appearance of your smile.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that encase a chipped tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are an ideal option for more extensive chipping or when the structure of the tooth is compromised.

 Questions? We have answers!

Unfortunately, no. Unlike your skin, tooth enamel doesn’t regenerate. Once it’s chipped, it’s chipped for good — unless you seek professional treatment.

It depends on the severity. If you’re in pain, the chip is large, or the tooth is bleeding, seek care immediately. Even if it’s not an emergency, it’s best to schedule an appointment as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

Not at all! We use local anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable during your Laguna Hills tooth repair treatment. Most patients are surprised by how quick and painless the process is.

The cost varies depending on the treatment needed, but we’ll always provide a clear estimate upfront. We also work with insurance and offer flexible payment options to make care affordable.

While accidents happen, you can reduce your risk by wearing a mouthguard during sports, avoiding chewing on hard objects (like ice or pens), and addressing teeth grinding with a custom nightguard.
