Why Cambie Dental
Cracked teeth treated with precision
Every crack is different — we assess yours thoroughly before recommending treatment.
Some cracks need a crown. Others need a root canal. We explain exactly what's happening and why we suggest what we do.
Early detection, early treatment
Prevents loss of crack teeth
Fast Diagnosis
We identify the type and depth of the crack quickly so we can start treatment right away.
Prevent Further Damage
Treating a crack early can save your tooth from splitting completely and needing extraction.
Honest Guidance
We'll tell you if the tooth can be saved — or if extraction is the safer long-term option.
What to Know
Understanding cracked teeth
A cracked tooth can range from a minor surface line to a deep fracture reaching the root. Symptoms often include sharp pain when chewing, sensitivity to temperature, and discomfort that comes and goes.
Common Causes
Grinding, biting hard objects, trauma, large fillings, or natural wear over time.
What to Expect
A thorough exam, possibly X‑rays, and a clear explanation of the crack and your options.
When to Act
When cracked tooth treatment might be recommended
Pain that spikes when you bite and releases when you let go is a classic sign of a crack. The tooth flexes under pressure, irritating the nerve with every chew.
Cracked teeth cause intermittent symptoms that are hard to pinpoint. If pain appears randomly and disappears just as fast, a hidden crack is often the culprit.

Care & Longevity
Keeping your repaired tooth healthy
Your crack has been treated — now keep it strong for years to come. These habits help.
01
Wear a night guard if you grind
A custom guard absorbs that force while you sleep, preventing new cracks from forming.
02
Avoid biting down on hard foods
Be mindful of what you chew — one wrong bite can undo the work we've done.
03
Keep the tooth clean and healthy
Brush and floss daily to prevent decay at the margins of your restoration.
04
Schedule regular checkups for monitoring
We examine repaired teeth at every visit, checking for wear, loosening, or signs the crack has progressed.

Common Questions Here's what patients
Here's what patients
want to know most
Sharp pain when biting, temperature sensitivity, or pain that comes and goes are common signs. A dental exam — sometimes with magnification or X‑rays — confirms the crack and its severity.
No. Unlike bone, tooth enamel doesn't regenerate. Cracks tend to deepen over time. Early treatment stops the crack from progressing and saves the tooth.
Options range from bonding or a crown for small cracks, to a root canal plus crown if the nerve is involved, to extraction for cracks that reach the root. We explain trade-offs clearly.
Not during the procedure — we use local anesthesia. Some sensitivity for a few days afterward is normal and fades quickly as the tooth settles into its new restoration.
