A cracked, chipped, or broken tooth can change how you bite, chew, and smile. Whether it happened from biting something hard, dental trauma, grinding, or an older filling that weakened the tooth, BLVD Dental Aesthetics provides careful tooth repair from our Wilshire Blvd office in Los Angeles.
Dr. Daniel Adelpour evaluates the tooth structure, symptoms, and bite before recommending the most conservative option that can protect the tooth. Treatment may include bonding, a dental crown, root canal therapy, or another restorative approach for patients in Mid-Wilshire, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, and nearby Los Angeles neighborhoods.
Even though enamel is strong, teeth can still fracture when pressure, decay, trauma, or weakened restorations change how force moves through the tooth. Common causes include chewing ice or hard foods, sports injuries, falls, nighttime grinding, untreated cavities, large older fillings, and sudden dental accidents.
Some damage is easy to see, while smaller cracks may only cause sensitivity, pain when biting, or discomfort that comes and goes. A prompt dental evaluation helps determine whether the tooth can be repaired with a smaller restoration or needs stronger protection before the crack spreads.
A cracked molar or fractured tooth is not always visible, especially when the damage is near the back of the mouth or under an existing filling. Symptoms may feel sharp, dull, occasional, or only noticeable when you release your bite.
Schedule an evaluation if you notice:
Different fractures call for different care. A craze line, fractured cusp, split tooth, or vertical root fracture can each change the treatment plan. If pain is worsening or the tooth feels urgent, BLVD offers emergency dentistry support in Los Angeles.
Dr. Adelpour begins by examining the depth and location of the crack, checking your bite, and looking for signs that the nerve or surrounding gum tissue may be involved. From there, the goal is to stabilize the tooth, relieve discomfort, and preserve healthy structure whenever possible.
Your recommendation depends on the tooth, the fracture pattern, and what will best support comfortable everyday chewing.
If you have a cracked, chipped, or broken tooth, early care can help reduce the risk of deeper damage. BLVD Dental Aesthetics provides restorative and general dentistry care from our Mid-Wilshire office at 6360 Wilshire Blvd Unit 512, Los Angeles, CA 90048.
