Prompt Dental Care Helps Reduce the Risk of Further Tooth Damage

A broken tooth isn’t just uncomfortable. It can expose the inner tooth, increase the risk of infection, or cause further cracks over time. Many people in Bunbury delay care, unaware of the risks. Eversmile Dental offers timely emergency appointments. The treatment focuses on managing symptoms, stabilising teeth, and supporting long-term oral health with individualised, evidence-based care.

Common Causes of
Broken Teeth

  • Biting Hard Objects
    Crunching ice, hard lollies, or popcorn kernels can put sudden pressure on your teeth. If enamel is already worn or fragile, this force may cause a chip, crack, or even a full break.
  • Facial Trauma
    Accidents, sports injuries, or falls can result in a blunt impact to the jaw or mouth. Without a mouthguard or facial protection, teeth may be more likely to crack, split, or fracture from that sudden pressure.
  • Tooth Decay
    Decay weakens a tooth’s internal structure over time. As enamel erodes and dentine softens, even normal chewing may lead to fractures. Cracks often form in weakened areas, especially if decay has reached deeper layers.
  • Old Fillings
    Large or worn fillings may reduce a tooth’s strength and flexibility. Pressure from chewing or nighttime grinding can eventually cause the surrounding tooth to crack, especially if the filling is loose, aged, or deteriorating.

We Tailor Treatment to Tooth Conditions and Oral Health

  • Dental Bonding
    Dental bonding is a minimally invasive treatment for small chips or cracks, especially in front teeth. Tooth-coloured resin is applied, shaped, and polished to match the surrounding enamel. This treatment may sometimes be completed in a single appointment.
  • Tooth Fillings
    Tooth-coloured fillings may be used when a tooth is affected by decay or minor damage. They are an appropriate option when the surrounding tooth structure remains strong and does not require more extensive reinforcement.
  • Dental Crowns
    A dental crown may be recommended when a tooth has significant decay or a weakened structure. The crown is custom-made to fit over the remaining tooth and is designed to support the tooth’s strength, shape, and function.
  • Root Canal Therapy
    Root Canal Therapy is recommended when the damage extends into the deeper layers beneath the enamel and dentine, affecting the pulp tissue. The procedure involves removing infected tissue, disinfecting the canal, and sealing the space to prevent reinfection.
  • Tooth Extraction
    Tooth extraction may be considered when a tooth is severely damaged and cannot be restored with other treatments. Removing the tooth may help reduce pain and protect surrounding tissues.
