Tooth Repair in Kanata

Chipped, cracked, or broken tooth? MYsmile Dental in Kanata offers expert tooth repair solutions designed to restore your smile’s strength, comfort, and appearance—often in a single visit. Whether the damage is from trauma, grinding, or biting something hard, we’ll assess the issue and recommend the best, most conservative treatment for your needs.

When Does a Tooth Need Repair?

Tooth enamel is strong—but it’s not indestructible. Teeth can crack or chip due to:

  • Trauma or injury (e.g., falls, sports accidents)
  • Biting hard foods or objects
  • Grinding or clenching (bruxism)
  • Weakened fillings or decay
  • Sudden temperature changes (e.g., biting ice after hot drinks)

Even small chips can lead to discomfort, sensitivity, or worsening damage over time if not repaired promptly.

Chipped Tooth Repair

Small to moderate chips can often be repaired quickly using:

  • Dental Bonding – Ideal for minor cosmetic chips, using tooth-colored composite resin to reshape the tooth.
  • Tooth-Colored Fillings – Used when the chip affects function or structure, especially on back teeth.
  • Porcelain Veneers – For front teeth that require a more durable, aesthetic solution.

Chipped teeth are typically repaired in one visit, with no downtime. If you’ve chipped a visible tooth, we’ll ensure your repair blends perfectly with your natural smile.

Cracked Tooth Treatment

Cracked teeth require a more careful assessment, as the damage may affect deeper layers of the tooth.

Treatment depends on the severity of the crack:

  • Minor surface cracks (craze lines): Monitored or polished for comfort.
  • Cracks in chewing surfaces: May be treated with inlays or onlays.
  • Cracks extending below the surface: Often require a dental crown to protect and reinforce the tooth.
  • Vertical cracks or splits: In some cases, root canal therapy or extraction may be necessary.

Early diagnosis is key. We use digital imaging to locate cracks and determine the right repair approach.

Is a chipped tooth always an emergency?

Not always—but it’s important to have it checked soon. Even small chips can worsen or cause bite issues if left untreated.

How do I know if my tooth is cracked?

You might notice pain when chewing, sensitivity to temperature, or discomfort when biting. We use digital X-rays and a clinical exam to confirm.

Will the repair look natural?

Yes. We use tooth-colored materials that are color-matched to your smile for seamless results.

Can a cracked tooth heal on its own?

No. Enamel doesn’t regenerate. The sooner you repair it, the better the long-term outcome.

Is repair covered by insurance?

Most plans cover medically necessary repairs. We offer electronic insurance submission and 0% in-house financing to make treatment more accessible.
