Facing a dental emergency from a sports injury? Don't worry! At 5 Star Dental Group, we understand how a rough tackle or an unexpected collision on the football field can lead to a fractured tooth. Our priority is to restore your smile and confidence with prompt and effective care.

Immediate Steps to Manage a Fractured Tooth

Assess the Damage: Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the affected area. If you notice any swelling, apply a cold compress to your cheek to reduce it, and avoid chewing on the injured side.

Preserve Tooth Fragments: If you find any broken pieces, save them in a container with milk or saliva until you can reach us for further evaluation.

Contact Us Immediately: Call our office to schedule an emergency appointment. Fast action improves the chances of a successful restoration.

Treatment Options for Fractured Teeth

Dental Bonding: Ideal for minor chips, this solution involves applying a tooth-colored resin to restore your tooth’s shape.

Veneers: For more significant damage, veneers provide a natural-looking cover to enhance your smile.

Crowns: When severe fractures occur, a crown can restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance.

Root Canal Therapy: If the fracture reaches the pulp, removing infected tissue is crucial to save the tooth.

Extraction and Replacement: If the tooth cannot be saved, options like dental implants or bridges can restore your smile.

Prevention Tips

Mouthguards: Protect your teeth during sports by wearing a custom-fitted mouthguard. These provide excellent protection and comfort.

What a neat dental office. Fabiola took very good care of me. She is very gentle and thorough. It was the small things for me, for my first time I got a go...

My husband and I have been going here for about 25 years. They are always friendly, on time and professional, from Mary Jo at the front desk to every single staff member. Dr Tostado is wonderful, knowledgeable with extreme attention to detail. He communicates every aspect of your care. He makes us feel comfortable Dr. Acuna gave me my numbing medicine on my last visit and I didn’t feel any discomfort during its administration and afterwards. She was excellent and was so gentle. They are upfront with all aspects of your care, very ethical and we have never been disappointed. The office is beautiful too, very calm and very clean. I would recommend this practice all the time.

Excellent quality, service, and staff. On time and treat the patient like a part of their family! I wouldn’t use any other dentist even though there is a myriad of providers much closer to my home. I trust their knowledge and have always had an excellent and enduring outcome regardless of the procedure performed.
