Cracked Tooth Treatment

A cracked tooth can range from a harmless craze line to a split that reaches the root. Early diagnosis saves the tooth. Call us for a same-day assessment.

📞 Call 01282 965286 Book £40 Smile Consultation

Emergency from £67.20. Crown from £590.75.

Types of crack

Craze lines are tiny surface cracks — common, painless, harmless. A fractured cusp breaks the chewing surface — repairable with a crown. A crack below the gum line may require root canal before a crown. A split tooth usually requires extraction.

The sooner a crack is diagnosed, the more options remain available.

How we treat it

Examination, X-ray, and bite test to identify the crack. Treatment: bonding for minor cracks, crown for fractured cusps, root canal plus crown for cracks reaching the nerve, extraction for vertical root fractures.

When to call us

Call if you feel sharp pain when biting, sensitivity that lingers, or pain that comes and goes. These are classic signs. Do not wait — what could be saved with a crown may eventually need extraction.

Clinical Assessment and Treatment at Station House

Every patient presenting to Station House Dental Care — whether for a routine consultation or an acute concern — receives a structured clinical assessment that includes a full examination of the teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints and soft tissues, along with digital X-rays where clinically indicated. This thorough assessment means we rarely miss secondary problems that explain why a symptom has developed. Treatment recommendations are based on the GDC's requirement for valid informed consent: we explain the diagnosis, the treatment options (including doing nothing), the expected outcomes, the risks and benefits, and the costs — in writing — before any work begins. Patients are always free to take time to consider their options. There is no pressure to proceed at the consultation appointment.

A note from Dr Sarah Metias, Principal Dentist

"Station House Dental Care was built on the belief that private dentistry should be genuinely accessible — not just to patients who already know what they want, but to those who have been putting off the dentist for years, or who are not sure what treatment they need, or who simply want a dentist they can trust to give them an honest answer. Every patient who comes through our door gets a thorough examination, clear explanation, and a written treatment plan with costs before any work begins. There is never pressure to proceed. My team and I are here to help you make an informed decision about your dental health — whatever that looks like for you."
