A cracked tooth is a tooth that has developed a fracture, split or break in its structure. Cracks can range from minor surface lines in the enamel to deep fractures that extend into the root of the tooth. While some cracks are visible to the naked eye, others can only be detected through a professional dental examination using digital X-rays and specialised lighting.
Not all cracked teeth cause immediate pain. However, when a crack reaches the inner layers of the tooth where the nerves and blood vessels are located, it can cause significant discomfort, sensitivity and even infection. The earlier a cracked tooth is diagnosed and treated, the better the chance of saving the tooth and avoiding more complex procedures.
At our Broadway dental clinic, we use advanced diagnostic tools to identify the type and severity of the crack so we can recommend the most effective treatment for your situation.
Our dentists perform a thorough examination of your cracked tooth using digital X-rays and visual inspection to determine the type and extent of the fracture.
We prioritise your comfort from the moment you arrive. If you are in pain, we provide prompt relief using gentle techniques and local anaesthetic before any treatment begins.
Every crack is different. Based on the diagnosis, we create a personalised treatment plan that may include dental bonding, a crown, root canal therapy or extraction if the tooth cannot be saved.
A cracked tooth will not heal on its own. Without treatment, the crack can deepen, allowing bacteria to reach the inner tooth and cause infection. The sooner you see a dentist, the more likely we can save your tooth and prevent costly complications.
If you are unsure whether your tooth is cracked, look out for these common warning signs. Even if the pain comes and goes, it is important to see a dentist for a proper assessment.
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, contact Hayat Dental in Broadway, Sydney for a same-day assessment. Early diagnosis can make the difference between saving and losing the tooth.
Our dental team has years of experience diagnosing and treating all types of tooth fractures, from minor craze lines to severe vertical root fractures.
We use digital X-rays and advanced imaging to accurately identify the location and severity of your crack, ensuring you receive the right treatment the first time.
We understand that a cracked tooth can be painful and stressful. Our team takes the time to explain every step and ensures you are comfortable throughout your visit.
Cracked tooth pain should not wait. We offer same-day emergency appointments so you can get relief as quickly as possible.
Located in Broadway, our clinic is easily accessible from Sydney CBD, Chippendale, Ultimo, Pyrmont, Redfern, Glebe and surrounding suburbs.
We accept all major health funds and offer flexible payment options so treatment remains accessible and affordable.
We examine your tooth carefully using digital X-rays and visual testing. We may ask you to bite down on specific areas to pinpoint the crack. This helps us understand the type and depth of the fracture.
If you are experiencing discomfort, we provide immediate pain relief. Local anaesthetic is applied gently to numb the area before any treatment begins. We also offer options for patients who feel anxious about dental procedures.
Based on the diagnosis, your dentist will recommend the most suitable treatment:
- Dental bonding for minor cracks and chips using tooth-coloured composite resin
- Dental crown to protect and strengthen a tooth with a larger crack
- Root canal therapy if the crack has reached the tooth pulp and caused infection
- Tooth extraction as a last resort if the crack extends below the gum line and the tooth cannot be saved
We provide clear aftercare instructions and schedule a follow-up appointment to check your recovery. If grinding was a contributing factor, we may recommend a custom night guard to prevent future damage.

It depends on the severity of the crack and the level of pain. If you are experiencing sharp pain when biting, constant throbbing, swelling or sensitivity that makes eating difficult, you should treat it as a dental emergency. At Hayat Dental Sydney, we offer same-day appointments for patients with cracked tooth pain so you can get assessed and treated quickly.
No. Unlike bones, teeth cannot repair themselves. A crack in a tooth will not close or heal over time. In fact, without treatment, the crack is likely to get worse and may eventually lead to infection or tooth loss. Seeing a dentist as soon as possible gives you the best chance of saving the tooth.
The cost depends on the type and severity of the crack and the treatment required. Dental bonding for a minor chip may start from around $150 to $350, while a dental crown can range from $1,200 to $2,000. Root canal treatment typically costs between $800 and $1,500. We provide a clear cost breakdown before treatment begins and accept all major health funds. Payment plans are also available.
Teeth can crack for many reasons. Common causes include biting down on hard foods like ice, nuts or popcorn kernels, teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism), trauma or injury to the mouth, large existing fillings that weaken the tooth structure, sudden temperature changes in the mouth and general wear from ageing. Some people are more prone to cracks due to habits like chewing on pens or opening packaging with their teeth.
A cracked tooth typically causes sharp, sudden pain when biting or chewing, especially when releasing the bite. General sensitivity, on the other hand, tends to be a consistent dull ache triggered by hot, cold or sweet foods. If you notice pain that comes and goes when chewing or a visible line on the tooth surface, it is likely a crack. A dental examination with X-rays is the best way to confirm the diagnosis.
Not always. The treatment depends on the size, location and depth of the crack. Small cracks and chips can often be repaired with dental bonding, which is a quicker and more affordable option. Larger cracks that compromise the structure of the tooth usually require a dental crown to hold the tooth together and prevent further damage. Your dentist will recommend the best option for your specific situation.
Leaving a cracked tooth untreated can lead to serious complications. The crack can deepen over time, allowing bacteria to enter the inner tooth and cause an infection or abscess. This may result in severe pain, swelling and the need for root canal treatment or extraction. In some cases, an untreated crack can cause the tooth to split completely, making it impossible to save.
Over-the-counter teeth whiteners contain weaker formulas with limited results. Professional teeth whiteners at our Sydney clinic use stronger, dentist-grade bleaching agents for deeper, longer-lasting teeth bleaching services.
