Cracked or fractured teeth don’t just cause discomfort—they can quickly turn into serious problems if left untreated. Whether your tooth cracked from trauma, biting hard food, or grinding, the sooner it’s evaluated, the better the chance of saving it. At Emergency Dentist of Chicago, we offer prompt and effective cracked tooth repair using modern techniques and same-day care when needed.

Every cracked tooth is different. Some involve only the enamel, while others reach deep into the pulp or root. We start with a thorough exam and digital imaging to assess the extent of the crack. From there, we offer the most appropriate treatment—this may include a dental crown to stabilize the tooth, bonding for minor chips, or a root canal if the pulp is affected. In severe cases, extraction may be needed, but we always aim to preserve your natural tooth when possible.

Our goal is to relieve your pain, restore the structure of the tooth, and protect it from future damage. We’ll also offer advice on habits to avoid further fractures, such as using a mouthguard for grinding or avoiding hard foods.

If you’ve chipped, fractured, or cracked a tooth, don’t wait. Book an appointment for fast, expert treatment in Chicago.

Benefits

The Benefits of Cracked Tooth Repair

Prevents Further Damage

Addressing cracks early keeps the tooth from splitting deeper, avoiding more complex procedures later.

Restores Strength and Function

Treatments like crowns and bonding help you chew comfortably again without sensitivity or risk.

Improves Appearance

A cracked front tooth can be an aesthetic concern. Cosmetic repairs restore a natural look and feel.

Protects Against Infection

Cracks that reach the inner tooth can expose nerves and invite bacteria. Sealing the tooth reduces risk of infection.

I was out of town (I live in California) and had a dental emergency late in the afternoon and was lucky enough to find this clinic. From the moment I called, the staff was responsive and incredibly helpful. They got me in quickly and Dr. Mohs was both professional and compassionate. They explained everything clearly and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. From someone who has had many unpleasant experiences at the Dentist, I’m so grateful for how quickly they were able to check me in and help me during this time. If you ever have a dental emergency or need any urgent, last-minute dental care, I highly recommend this place!

When I arrived at this practice I wasn’t sure what to think, but all I knew was I had a Dental Emergency and it seemed like they would probably be the right place for me during my time of crisis. Boy did that turn out to be the case! Dr. Mohs was exactly who I needed during this pivotal moment for the future of my mouth. His experience, calm demeanor, fair pricing, and silky dental mitts blessed my emergency that day and I’ve been rocking a pain free smile ever since. Cheers to this great practice and excuse me while I try not to think of new reasons to return again soon!
Dr. Patel and the team at Emergency Denist of Chicago were INCREDIBLE! I had an emergency with my wisdom tooth, and they were able to see me on the same day, which was also a Sunday. This was my first tooth extraction, but the team was so warm, friendly, and they talked me through the process with positive attitudes and a lot of care. I highly recommend visiting them for your needs because they couldn't have been nicer!
