Broken Tooth Repair in Banbury

Arrange a dental assessment if a tooth has chipped, cracked or broken, even if it is not painful. Contact us more urgently if the tooth is very painful, badly broken, sharp, loose or displaced, or if the damage followed an accident.

We aim to provide same-day emergency appointments whenever possible. Please call us as early as you can and tell our reception team how the tooth was damaged and whether you have pain, sensitivity, bleeding, looseness or swelling.

No. We welcome both registered and non-registered patients who need an emergency assessment for a broken, chipped or cracked tooth.

Keep the fragment in milk or saliva and bring it to your appointment. In some cases, the dentist may be able to reattach it. Avoid cleaning it aggressively or trying to glue it back yourself.

Many damaged teeth can be repaired. Depending on the size and depth of the fracture, treatment may include smoothing, composite bonding, a filling, reattachment of a fragment, an onlay or a crown. Your dentist will explain which options are suitable.

Not necessarily. A small chip may only need a simple repair. A crown or onlay may be recommended when a larger amount of tooth structure has been lost. Root canal treatment may be needed if the nerve is exposed, irreversibly damaged or infected.

A knocked-out adult tooth is a dental emergency. Hold it by the crown rather than the root. If it cannot be put back in place easily, keep it in milk or saliva and seek urgent dental care immediately. Do not reinsert a baby tooth. Call 999 or attend A&E for serious facial or jaw injury, heavy bleeding that will not stop, loss of consciousness, vomiting, double vision or breathing difficulty after an injury.

The cost depends on the examination, any investigations and the treatment required. We will explain the recommended options and associated fees before carrying out treatment wherever possible.
