Fixing a Broken Front Tooth
Emergency Dentist NYC

Assessing the Broken Front Tooth

A broken front tooth is a dental emergency that can be unnerving for a patient.  Depending on the severity of a tooth fracture, dental bonding, a veneer or a porcelain crown is required to repair the tooth. 

A 54 year old male patient came in for a dental emergency because his front tooth broke.  An x-ray also revealed a large infection at the apex of the tooth. 

A tooth with a root canal can be prone to breaking because it doesn’t have a blood supply.  Over time a root canal tooth  becomes brittle.   

To Fix this tooth we first need to remove the infection.  A root canal re-treat was performed by a root canal specialist (Endodontist)

Preparing the Tooth for a Porcelain Crown

Our patient returned after his tooth was disinfected by a root canal specialist (Endodontist.)   Dr. Peter Mann then placed a Rescue post in the tooth which will help hold the crown. 

A digital impression was then taken with our Itero scanner for a porcelain crown.  The patient left our office with a temporary crown held in place by the new post.

Porcelain Crown NYC

Porcelain crowns are custom crafted by a masterful technician.  The work requires artistic talent and takes years to master. 

Our master lab technician crafted a beautiful porcelain crown to cement on top of the patient’s root canal and rescue post.  Once the crown was cemented it blended in with his natural teeth beautifully.
