What to Do If You Have a Fractured Tooth
A cracked or worn-down tooth can be more than annoying. It can hurt, make chewing harder, and even take the fun out of smiling. At Elevation Dental Studio in Mount Vernon, New York, Dr. Mitz-Ann Edmond understands how frustrating that feels and offers natural-looking crowns that fix the damage and bring comfort and confidence back where they belong.
How Do Crown Fractures Compare to Other Tooth Injuries?
A fractured tooth can extend just to the top of your tooth or all the way into the root. It’s different from a small chip or cavity. This damage impacts more than the tooth’s structure and can cause pain. The fix usually requires providing the tooth with more support, like a strong, protective crown.
What Signs Mean It’s Time for a Crown on a Cracked Tooth?
If your tooth hurts, feels weakened, or is missing a large area, it’s important that you get it treated right away. Crowns are often used when fillings won’t get the job done. Here’s why crowns are a solid choice:
- Strengthens tooth
- Improves looks
- Helps avoid further damage
You should discuss any other symptoms, such as headaches, tender gums, or excessive swelling, with Dr. Edmond, as they could be signs of an infection. Quick action is key.
Which Crown Materials Are Available, and Why is Porcelain a Top Pick?
Crowns come in a few options: metal, ceramic, zirconia, or porcelain. Porcelain is the most popular for its blend of strength, durability, and natural looks. Unlike metal, it blends into your smile perfectly and holds up comparably to zirconia and ceramic. You get strength and beauty all in one, which is why many of our clients prefer this route.
How Does the Dental Crown Process Work for a Cracked Tooth?
It starts with an oral exam. Dr. Edmond checks the damage and takes digital scans. If a crown is the best fix, we can shape the tooth and place a temporary crown while your permanent crown is being made. Once it’s ready, you come back in for the final placement.

What’s the Timeline for Getting a Crown from Start to Finish?
Plan on making two visits, usually spaced out over two or three weeks. The first visit includes prepping the tooth and taking impressions. You’ll wear a temporary crown until your final one is ready. Don’t worry; it will protect your tooth and work until your second appointment.
How Can I Avoid Damaging My Dental Crown?
Brush and floss as recommended. Don’t skip your daily oral hygiene just because you have a crown. Avoid chewing on hard things like ice, candy, or pens. These can damage or loosen your crown. Regular checkups help as well. If Dr. Edmond gives you specific instructions, follow them closely for the best results.
