Same-Day Care for Broken or Cracked Teeth
A broken or cracked tooth can happen suddenly—whether from biting down on something hard, an injury, or gradual wear over time. Even minor damage can lead to pain, sensitivity, or further complications if left untreated. Dr. Raoufinia and team at Lumen Dental, we offer prompt, same-day appointments whenever possible to evaluate the damage and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
