A chipped or cracked tooth doesn’t just affect your smile — it can also compromise your comfort, confidence, and long-term oral health. At Civic Dental, Dr. Dunya Antwan provides expert tooth repair in Vista, CA using advanced techniques to restore strength, function, and aesthetics in a single visit or two.
Whether you suffered an injury, bit down on something hard, or have a tooth weakened by decay, we offer personalized treatment for chipped teeth and cracked teeth that blends seamlessly with your natural smile.
Chipped Tooth Repair
Chipped teeth are among the most common dental issues and can usually be repaired quickly and painlessly. Depending on the size and location of the chip, Dr. Antwan may recommend:
- Dental Bonding – For small chips, we use a tooth-colored resin to rebuild the damaged area. This is a fast, affordable solution often completed in one visit. Learn more on our Dental Bonding page.
- Tooth-Colored Fillings – Ideal for chips involving minor decay or damage to the biting surface. These blend naturally with your surrounding enamel.
- Veneers – For front teeth with visible cosmetic damage, veneers provide long-term, beautiful coverage.
Cracked Tooth Treatment
Cracked teeth can be more serious and may worsen over time without treatment. Prompt care can prevent tooth loss and reduce the risk of infection.
Common symptoms of a cracked tooth include:
- Pain when biting or chewing
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Intermittent discomfort that comes and goes
- A visible line or split in the tooth
Treatment options depend on the depth and location of the crack:
- Dental Crowns – For moderate cracks, a custom crown provides full coverage and prevents further breakage.
- Root Canal Therapy – If the crack extends into the pulp, root canal therapy may be necessary before placing a crown.
- Tooth Extraction and Replacement – In severe cases, extraction may be the only option. We offer dental implants and bridges as long-term replacement solutions.
