Broken teeth can result from various causes and lead to pain and sensitivity, requiring prompt attention to prevent further complications. Damaged or decayed teeth can affect not only your smile but also your overall oral health. At Purley Dental Care, our dentists specialise in teeth repair services that restore both the function and appearance of your teeth. For teeth that are beyond repair, dental implants provide a durable and effective solution.
Teeth can become damaged for various reasons, including decay, trauma, wear and tear, or accidental injury. Teeth grinding is another common cause of cracked or chipped teeth. Whether you have a cavity, a chipped tooth, a crack, a broken tooth or more extensive damage, our expert dentistry team offers a range of restorative solutions to help you regain a healthy, functioning smile.
We offer a comprehensive range of teeth repair options at Purley Dental Care, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient; such as dental bonding, crowns, and extractions, depending on the severity of the damage and the associated costs for both NHS and private treatments.
Tooth Fillings are a common solution to repair cavities. We use durable, tooth-coloured materials to fill the decayed area, restoring the tooth’s structure and function while blending seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Dental Crowns are ideal for teeth that have been severely damaged. A crown covers the entire tooth, providing strength and protection while restoring its shape, size, and appearance.
Root Canal treatment is essential for teeth with severe damage or infection, particularly when the pulp is affected. This removes the damaged pulp, cleans and seals the tooth, to then places a crown to protect the weakened tooth. This treatment helps save the tooth and alleviate pain associated with the infection.
Veneers: For teeth that are chipped, cracked, or discoloured, veneers offer a cosmetic repair solution. Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front surface of the tooth, enhancing its appearance while providing a durable repair.
Composite Bonding is a versatile and cost-effective option for repairing minor chips, cracks, and gaps in your teeth. During the procedure, a tooth-coloured resin is applied to the affected area, shaped, and polished to blend with your natural teeth.
Dental Implants are crucial for replacing missing teeth after extraction due to severe damage. The procedure involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as a root for the replacement tooth. Dental implants offer permanence and effectiveness compared to other options like bridges or dentures, providing a natural look and feel.
The process of teeth repair begins with an initial consultation at our Purley Dental Care practice. During this visit, our team of dentists will assess and look for any damage, such as cracked or broken teeth, discuss your concerns, and recommend the most suitable treatment option.
The damaged or decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the cavity is filled with a tooth-coloured material. The filling is then shaped and polished to ensure a smooth, natural-looking finish.
The tooth is prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the crown. An impression is taken, and a custom crown is created. Once the crown is ready, it is fitted and cemented in place.
A small amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of the tooth to make room for the veneer. An impression is taken, and a custom veneer is created. The veneer is then bonded to the tooth, providing a natural and enhanced appearance.
The tooth is prepared by roughening the surface, and a bonding agent is applied. The composite resin is then shaped to the desired form and cured with a special light. The final step involves polishing the bonded tooth to achieve a smooth finish.
When a tooth is severely damaged and cannot be repaired, tooth extraction becomes necessary. After the tooth is removed, options for artificial tooth replacement, such as dental implants or other restorative solutions, are discussed to restore functionality and appearance.
Repairing damaged teeth offers numerous benefits, both functionally and aesthetically:
Restored Functionality: Teeth repair restores your ability to chew and speak properly, which may have been compromised by damaged or decayed teeth. Dental implants can effectively replace missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.
Improved Aesthetics: Our custom-made restorations are designed to match the colour, shape, and size of your natural tooth, enhancing your smile and boosting your confidence.
Prevention of Further Damage: Promptly repairing damaged teeth helps prevent further complications, such as infection or additional tooth loss, which could lead to more extensive and costly treatments.
Long-Lasting Results: With proper care, the results of your teeth repair can last for many years, providing a durable solution that maintains the health and appearance of your teeth.
From the initial consultation to the final restoration, we are committed to providing a comfortable and supportive experience. If you have a cracked or broken tooth, it is crucial to see one of our dentists immediately to prevent further damage and ensure proper treatment. If a crack extends below the gum line, the tooth may need to be extracted and replaced with a dental implant.
We provide exceptional teeth repair services that cater to the individual needs of each patient. Our modern equipment at Purley Dental Care allows us to provide high-quality dental restorations that look natural and function well.
We believe that everyone should have access to high-quality teeth repair services, which is why we offer flexible financing options to make treatment more affordable.

Our practice offers payment plans and 0% financing options, allowing you to spread the cost of your treatment over time. We also accept a variety of insurance plans and can help you navigate your coverage to maximise your benefits.
Proper care is essential to maintain the longevity of your teeth repair. Here are some tips to ensure your restored teeth stay in great condition:
Using a mouth guard during high-risk activities, such as sports or night grinding, can protect against potential tooth damage.

If a tooth hurts due to damage, it is important to seek emergency dental care. Our team is equipped to handle dental emergencies promptly, ensuring that your oral health and smile are restored as quickly as possible.

Implant overdentures are removable dentures that are securely anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone. These implants provide a stable foundation, preventing the dentures from slipping or shifting and improving overall comfort and functionality.
