Repair Cracked or Broken Teeth in Salisbury

Whilst we try hard to avoid them, dental accidents happen. Here at Sarum Dental in Salisbury, we commonly treat patients with broken or cracked teeth. In this blog, we’re telling you exactly how we do it with our affordable, high-quality dental crowns!

Why Do Teeth Crack or Break?

Teeth are made of an incredibly strong material called enamel. It’s highly durable, but certainly not indestructible! Enamel can crack or break from:

  • Tooth decay and cavities
  • Blunt force trauma (from a fall or impact)
  • Weakened dental fillings
  • Jaw clenching or grinding (often linked to TMJ disorder)
  • Biting on hard foods like boiled sweets or ice

Why It’s Important To Repair Broken Teeth

Teeth don’t repair themselves, and if left untreated, a crack can worsen over time, leading to:

  • Increased pain or sensitivity
  • Infection or abscess
  • The need for more complex treatment

Receiving treatment early on means we can find a simpler and more comfortable repair solution, helping preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible.

So, How Do We Repair Cracked Teeth at Sarum Dental?

One of the most effective ways to restore a cracked or brown tooth is with a dental crown. A crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over the tooth, like a cap, protecting it from any further damage and restoring its shape and appearance.

For many of our Salisbury-based dental patients, dental crowns offer a long-term solution that acts and feels just like their natural tooth:

“I've been receiving treatment at Sarum Dental Practice for the last year after a long period of neglecting the dentist. Raj has been excellent in identifying problem teeth and working out treatment plans, and I'm more than happy with the fillings/crowns that have been fitted. As a private patient, I've been able to book appointments at very short notice, which is a breath of fresh air after years of NHS dental care. Definitely worthy of five stars!”

“I cannot sufficiently express my gratitude to the staff at Sarum Dental Practice. The receptionists are so good, so helpful, and the hygienists and dentists are brilliant. I consider myself most fortunate to be a patient at this dental practice. The level of care I receive is exemplary, and the work carried out is so painless and efficient that I cannot believe it has been so quick and effective, with no discomfort for me. I am delighted with the dental care I receive and thoroughly recommend this practice to anyone looking for very high-quality care and attention. My sincere thanks to all of the staff for all that they do.”

If you’ve noticed a cracked or broken tooth, it’s best to get it checked sooner rather than later. To book an appointment at Sarum Dental, Salisbury, simply phone our Reception team on 01722 333324 or book online here.
