A cracked tooth can cause pain, sensitivity and serious oral health complications if left untreated. Dr. Eric Tye , Dr. David Kolakowski and Dr. Tia VanSuilichem provide expert care and cracked teeth treatment in Macomb, Michigan, using advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans. Whether your tooth has a minor fracture or a more significant crack, our goal is to relieve discomfort and restore the strength, function and appearance of your smile.
Cracks can occur from biting down on hard foods, grinding your teeth at night, experiencing facial trauma or having large fillings that weaken the tooth over time. No matter the cause, early treatment is essential to prevent the crack from worsening or leading to infection.
