Chips & Cracks

Chaska Family Dental frequently treats chipped and cracked teeth for patients across Chaska and neighboring communities. These injuries often result from biting hard foods, accidental impacts, or gradual wear. Chips usually affect only the enamel, while cracks can extend deeper toward the root. Early care at your top‑rated dentist in Chaska preserves tooth structure and keeps you enjoying “Happy, Healthy Smiles.”

Symptoms and Complications

Untreated chips or cracks may trigger bigger problems, including infection and tooth loss. Warning signs include:

Pain while chewing or biting
Sensitivity to heat, cold, or sweet foods
Gum tenderness near the damaged tooth
Visible chips, lines, or rough edges

Diagnosis and Treatment Options

A comprehensive examination, including digital X‑rays when needed, determines the extent of damage. Depending on findings, we may recommend:

Tooth‑colored bonding for small enamel chips
Porcelain crowns to restore shape and protect deeper cracks
Root canal therapy if the pulp is affected
Custom veneers for a seamless cosmetic solution
Extraction and replacement only when a tooth cannot be saved

Prevention and Aftercare

Protective mouthguards, avoiding ice or hard objects, and diligent brushing and flossing reduce future risk. After treatment, our team provides personalized home‑care guidance and schedules regular checkups to safeguard your results.
