What to Do if you have a Broken tooth

Broken tooth can be caused by accidentally knocking into a glass door. If that happens you will need a Porcelain Crown done by a Cosmetic Dentist.

The first step is you will need to do a Root Canal Treatment ( RCT in short). Then the dentist will place a pin like structure inside the tooth. This is followed by shaping and forming the remainder structure of the tooth to be conical shape ( as shown in picture below)

Once this is done the dentist takes a mould or impression for the dental laboratory to fabricate the porcelain crown.

The patient is asked to go back with a temporary crown and return in one week. At that visit the new porcelain crown is cemented into the conical shaped tooth.

This is an expensive affair and typically prices which include the RCT and porcelain crown could range from RM 3000 to RM 4000 depending on the experience of the dentist as well as types of porcelain material chosen.

If by some unfortunate circumstances you end up with a broken tooth. please visit your dentist near you and get a Dental Consultation. Do not be afraid to ask for prices and make sure you ask for options that suit your budget.
