A fractured or broken tooth needs immediate attention to prevent further damage. At Smile Avenue Dentistry, our experienced team provides same-day broken tooth repair in North York. If you have a minor chip or a severe fracture, don’t worry; we restore your smile quickly, comfortably, and with lasting results.
A fractured tooth occurs when a crack, chip, or break develops in the hard outer structure of a tooth. This can result from biting down on hard foods, facial trauma, teeth grinding, or simply the natural weakening of tooth enamel over time. While some fractures are visible to the naked eye, others are microscopic and only detectable through a professional dental examination.
For urgent dental care, please call (416) 250-5354. Appointment requests are subject to availability.
Unlike other cracks, a vertical root fracture starts at the root and moves upward. These are often difficult to notice because they may not cause pain initially. Professional imaging is usually required to find them before they damage the surrounding bone and tissue.
At Smile Avenue Dentistry, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments for fractured and broken teeth, including same-day broken tooth repair in North York. Our team evaluates the location, severity, and depth of each fracture to recommend the most effective and conservative solution for your smile.
When a fracture reaches the nerve, root canal therapy removes the infected tissue and relieves pain, followed by a protective crown.

Rinse your mouth gently with warm water and save any broken fragment — storing it in milk or in your cheek can help keep it viable. Avoid chewing on the injured side, and call our North York clinic the same day so we can assess the damage. If you have swelling, bleeding that won’t stop, or severe pain, seek urgent care right away.
A small chip with no pain can often wait a short time, but cracks can deepen and reach the nerve, turning a simple repair into a much bigger problem. If you have pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, a sharp edge cutting your tongue, or a large piece missing, treat it as an emergency and book an assessment as soon as possible.
It depends on how much of the tooth is damaged. Small chips are usually repaired with dental bonding, larger fractures may need a veneer or a crown, and if the nerve is affected, root canal treatment may be recommended before the tooth is restored. Extraction is only considered when a tooth cannot be saved. Your dentist will decide after an examination and X-rays.
The area is numbed before treatment begins, and most repairs are straightforward procedures. You may feel some mild sensitivity for a few days afterwards, which typically settles on its own. If discomfort increases instead of improving, contact the clinic so we can check the tooth.
Coverage under the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) depends on your eligibility and your specific plan details, so we can’t promise what will be covered. The best next step is to book an assessment — our team will review your CDCP eligibility and confirm your coverage options with you before any treatment begins.
