What to Do Right Now

  • Save any pieces of the tooth in a clean bag.
  • Rinse gently with warm water.
  • Hold a cold pack on your cheek for 15 minutes at a time to ease swelling.
  • Cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum so they don’t cut your tongue or cheek.
  • Take an over-the-counter pain reliever as the label directs. Don’t put aspirin on the gum.
  • Chew on the other side and skip very hot, cold or hard foods.
  • Call us so we can give you the earliest time that day.

If a whole adult tooth came out, that’s a different emergency: see what to do if a tooth falls out and call right away.

Is a Broken Tooth an Emergency?

A tiny chip with no pain can usually wait a few days. Call us today if:

  • The tooth hurts, throbs or is sensitive to hot and cold
  • A large piece broke off or the tooth feels loose
  • A sharp edge is cutting your tongue or cheek
  • The gum around it is swollen or bleeding
  • The break happened in a fall or an accident

Even a small crack can let germs reach the nerve, so it’s worth having it checked before it gets worse.

Same-Day Repair Options

The right fix depends on how much of the tooth is gone and whether the nerve is hurt. After an exam and X-ray, Dr. Patel explains your options and the price before anything starts.

  • Small chip: tooth-colored bonding or a small filling, often finished at the same visit. See dental fillings.
  • Bigger break or a broken filling: a filling, or a dental crown to cover and protect what’s left. Most crowns are finished in 1–3 days.
  • Crack that reaches the nerve: a root canal to stop the pain and save the tooth, usually followed by a crown.
  • Tooth split below the gum: if it can’t be saved, a tooth extraction, often the same day. We can then talk about implants, bridges or a partial to fill the gap.

What It Costs

A new patient emergency exam with a panoramic X-ray is $49 self-pay. Crowns start from $1,199 and root canals start from $899; bonding, fillings and extractions are priced after the exam, and you always get the price before treatment. We accept most PPO plans, Medicaid and CHIP and Medicare dental plans, and offer 0% financing (subject to approval). See all dental prices.

    Bay Colony Dentistry was super busy and I had to wait longer than expected for my cleaning. That being said it was a truly nice visit… as nice as a cleaning can be. I was attended to by Karen. She explained processes to me without being judgmental and she listened. Prior to this last visit, I was on the fence as to staying with this dentistry. I definitely will return for my regular maintenance after this.

They are honest, professional, and make you feel like your well-being comes first. It’s such a relief to finally have a dental office where you feel comfortable, respected, and cared for. Highly recommend!

    When I arrived for my appointment I was greeted by my name with a smile.i was told to be seated and less than three minutes I was called back. The doctor (dentist) showed so much concern for my needs and listened to me. He was so polite as was his assistants and the office help was excellent. I have found my dentist!

Broken Tooth Questions

Can a chipped tooth be fixed in one visit?

Often, yes. Small chips can often be bonded with tooth-colored material at the same visit. Bigger breaks may need a crown, and most crowns are finished in 1–3 days.

My broken tooth doesn’t hurt. Do I still need to come in?

Yes, but it may not need to be today. A break with no pain can still have a crack that lets germs reach the nerve later. Call (281) 337-9000 and we’ll help you decide how soon to be seen.

What should I do with the piece that broke off?

Keep it in a clean bag and bring it with you so Dr. Patel can see how the tooth broke. Rinse your mouth gently and avoid chewing on that side until your visit.

Will I need a root canal for a cracked tooth?

Only if the crack reaches the nerve or the nerve is infected. Signs include throbbing pain, pain that lingers after hot or cold, or swelling. An exam and X-ray show which repair you need.

Do you fix broken teeth for patients from League City?

Yes. Our Dickinson office is about 10 minutes from League City. See our page for emergency patients from League City for directions.
