Broken tooth: what to know

Can a broken tooth be fixed with a crown the same day?

Often, yes. When enough healthy tooth remains, Only Crowns can place a permanent zirconia crown in one visit of about 90 minutes for $799, including any X-rays and a build-up if necessary. The dentist decides after examining the tooth and the X-rays.

When is a crown not the answer?

If the nerve is infected or exposed, the tooth may need a root canal first; if it is split below the gum line it may not be saveable. Only Crowns only places crowns, so the team will tell you if you need another dentist first.

When should I go to an emergency room instead?

Go to an ER or call 911 for swelling that is spreading to your eye, neck or throat, trouble breathing or swallowing, a high fever, bleeding that will not stop, or a jaw or face injury.

What should I do until my appointment?

Rinse with warm water, keep any pieces in a clean container, use a cold compress for swelling, cover a sharp edge with dental wax or sugar-free gum, and chew on the other side. Take over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the label.

How much does it cost to fix a broken tooth with a crown?

At Only Crowns the crown is $799 flat per tooth at every office, with or without insurance. There are no separate fees for the X-rays or a necessary build-up.
