Boulder General Dentistry

If this misfortune should happen to you ( and there aren't any other injuries) there are some steps you can take that may allow us to repair the damage relatively quickly if you can retrieve the broken piece(s) of tooth.

It is important to keep the fragments wet. Milk would be best, however, water will do.

Call us and we will see you as soon as possible.

After taking necessary x-rays, the area will be numbed and the area isolated with a rubber dam.

This allows us to control moisture.

We will assess whether all the missing parts of the tooth are present . If they are , using state of the art techniques , we can reattach the segments. If some of the structure is missing, we can use tooth colored material to replace what is lacking.

Below are some photos that illustrate what can be done.
