Protect the tooth, then call us.
A chipped, cracked or broken tooth can happen from a fall, a sports injury or biting something hard. Even a small chip can leave the tooth weaker or sensitive, and a crack can spread if it isn’t treated. At Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry Westport, we offer same-day care for urgent problems and repair the tooth with a filling, crown, veneer or, if it can’t be saved, an implant.

Broken or chipped teeth FAQ.
Still have a question? Call our Westport team at (816) 388-0985.
What should I do right after I chip or break a tooth?
Rinse your mouth with warm water, save any pieces if you can, and call us. If a permanent tooth was knocked out, keep it moist in milk and seek urgent dental care. Do not put a baby tooth back in its socket.
Can I be seen the same day?
We offer same-day care for urgent problems. Call (816) 388-0985 as early as you can so we can fit you in.
Can a chipped tooth be fixed in one visit?
Small chips can often be repaired with a tooth-colored filling in one visit. Bigger breaks usually need a crown, which takes two visits.
Does a cracked tooth always hurt?
Not always. Some cracks only hurt when you bite or chew. It’s worth getting checked, because cracks can spread over time.
Can I pay over time?
Yes. We offer flexible payment plans and work with most dental insurance providers, and we’ll go over the cost before you start.
