When these restorations are compromised, it’s important to address the issue promptly to prevent further dental problems.

Frequently asked questions
and their answers

Reasons include tooth grinding/clenching, chewing on hard foods, trauma, poor oral hygiene leading to decay under the restoration, or improper fitting during initial placement.

If a filling, crown, veneer, etc. breaks, contact your dentist right away. Save any broken pieces. Avoid chewing on the tooth until it is repaired to prevent further damage.

Damaged restorations usually need to be completely replaced for optimal function and aesthetics. The old restoration is removed, and a new one is designed, fabricated, and bonded into place.

Small fractures at the edges may be repairable, but most cases require complete replacement of the restoration for proper strength and appearance.

Replacement often requires 2+ visits spaced weeks apart. The initial appointment involves examining the tooth, taking impressions, and installing a temporary restoration.

The dentist will numb the area being worked on, so the procedure itself is not painful. Some sensitivity may occur afterward as the area continues to heal.
