What to Do If Your Veneer or Crown Breaks: A Quick Guide

Dental veneers and crowns are strong and built to last—but accidents can happen. Whether it’s from biting something hard, an unexpected injury, or gradual wear over time, a broken veneer or crown can be stressful. At the office of Dr. Monica Morgan in Tampa, we’re here to guide you through exactly what to do next.

1. Stay Calm and Assess the Damage

Check your mouth carefully. Is the veneer or crown fully detached? Is it cracked, chipped, or loose? If you’re in pain, there may be additional damage to the underlying tooth.

2. Save the Piece (If Possible)

If your crown or veneer has come off, store it in a clean container. In some cases, it may be possible to reattach it temporarily or use it as a guide for the replacement.

3. Avoid Using That Side of Your Mouth

Until you see your dentist, avoid chewing on the side where the veneer or crown broke. This prevents further damage or discomfort.

4. Manage Pain and Sensitivity

If the tooth underneath is exposed, you may feel sensitivity to hot or cold foods. Use over-the-counter pain relief as needed and avoid extreme temperatures.

5. Call Your Dentist Immediately

A broken veneer or crown should never be ignored. Call Dr. Monica Morgan’s office right away to schedule a repair or replacement appointment.

6. Don’t Try to Fix It Yourself

Avoid using glue or over-the-counter dental repair kits. DIY fixes can cause more harm than good and make professional repair more difficult.
