An unpopped popcorn kernel from movie night, a rogue elbow during a pickup basketball game, a run-in with a cabinet door—cracked teeth can take us by surprise. But don’t worry. At Parkway Modern Dentistry, we’ve seen it all, and we’re here to help. Your smile means everything to us, and fixing a cracked tooth in Houston is just one way we keep you smiling brighter.
Teeth are tough, but they’re not indestructible. There are several reasons your tooth might crack, including:
A sports collision or a fall can easily cause a tooth to crack.
Those surprise olive pits or hard candies can do a lot of damage.
Over time, these habits can wear down your enamel.
Like the rest of our bodies, teeth naturally weaken as we get older.
A crack can present differently for everyone—sharp pain when biting or chewing, sensitivity to hot or cold, discomfort that comes and goes, or visible cracks and chips on the tooth’s surface. Don’t wait if you’re experiencing any of these signs. Early intervention makes a difference.
We’ll thoroughly examine you to gauge the extent of the damage. Using diagnostic tools, we can even spot fractures that aren’t visible to the naked eye.
We tailor our approach to you. Common repair options include bonding, dental crowns, root canals, or, in rare cases, tooth extractions.
Once your cracked tooth is repaired, we’ll make sure it blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile.
These are sometimes called craze lines, and they’re not typically something to worry about. However, you may not know the difference between a hairline crack in a tooth and a crack that jeopardizes your health, so get checked out if you notice anything.
While accidents can’t always be avoided, you can reduce the risk by wearing a mouthguard during sports, avoiding hard foods like ice or popcorn kernels, and addressing teeth grinding with a custom solution.
Unfortunately, teeth cannot heal themselves naturally. That’s why it’s important to seek care quickly from our dentist in downtown Houston, TX, to prevent further damage.
Treatment time varies depending on the severity of the crack, but many procedures can be completed in one visit. We’ll outline the process step by step during your appointment.
Get everything you need under one roof, from preventative cleanings to advanced diagnostics—all at affordable prices.
Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, you belong here. Everyone deserves high-end, world-class dental care, and we’re here to provide it.
We know life can be busy, so we have extended hours, making it easier than ever to prioritize your smile without disrupting your schedule.
If you’ve noticed a crack in your tooth (or suspect you might have one), don’t stress, just call Parkway Modern Dentistry. We’ll take care of you like family—with a warm welcome, a thoughtful approach, and solutions you can rely on.
