Why Prompt Treatment Matters
When a tooth fractures, the internal structures become exposed to bacteria and temperature changes. Leaving a break untreated can lead to deeper decay or painful nerve exposure. Our Sunrise team acts quickly to seal your tooth and prevent further damage.
What You Should Do Immediately
If you experience a break, please rinse your mouth with warm water to clear any debris. If there is bleeding, apply light pressure with a clean cloth to the area. Collect any tooth fragments and bring them with you to our office on N.W. 44th Street.
Our Restoration Techniques
Depending on the severity, we may use dental bonding, veneers, or custom crowns to fix your tooth. We prioritize conservative methods that preserve as much natural structure as possible. With over 20 years of experience in Broward County, we ensure your restoration looks and feels natural.
Frequently Asked Questions

Not necessarily. Smaller chips can often be fixed with cosmetic bonding, while larger fractures might require a crown for full support.
We prioritize your comfort and use effective anesthetic options to ensure the procedure is painless.
We recommend against waiting. Exposed areas can quickly become sensitive or infected, leading to more complex treatments.
Don't wait — early treatment prevents more serious problems.
