Cracked Tooth Treatment in Atlanta
Experiencing sharp pain while chewing or random discomfort in your molar? You may have a cracked tooth. At Your Endodontic Practice Name, we specialize in diagnosing and treating cracked teeth using high-powered microscopes, 3D imaging, and expert endodontic techniques to save your natural tooth.
What Is a Cracked Tooth?
A cracked tooth occurs when a fracture extends into the layers beneath the enamel. These cracks can be difficult to detect and are often missed by general dentists. Our endodontist uses advanced tools to catch even hairline fractures that could lead to tooth loss if untreated.
Common Symptoms of a Cracked Tooth
- Pain when biting or releasing
- Sudden, sharp discomfort when chewing
- Sensitivity to hot or cold
- Intermittent toothache
- Swelling of the gum around the tooth
How We Treat Cracked Teeth
- ✅ Root Canal Therapy – removes infection from a cracked pulp
- ✅ Microscope Diagnosis – detect fractures invisible to x-rays
- ✅ Crown Placement – protects and reinforces the tooth
- ✅ Apicoectomy – microsurgical root repair when needed
- ✅ Tooth Extraction – only if the crack extends beyond the gum line
