A cracked tooth is a damaged tooth that has a fracture or breaks in the enamel, dentin, or pulp tissue. It may not cause any symptoms, but you may experience pain when eating or drinking hot/cold liquids if it does. If you have a cracked tooth, then it is important to get it fixed as soon as possible. If left untreated, the crack in your tooth could worsen over time, leading to further problems such as infection and eventually tooth loss!

In this article, we will discuss how to solve cracked teeth problems with zirconia material.

What May Cause a Cracked Tooth?

A cracked tooth is a common dental problem that can be caused by many factors, including:

l Age: As we age, our teeth are more susceptible to cracking. If you are 50 years or older, your teeth might be prone to developing cracks due to aging.

l Bite hard food: Chewing hard food such as nuts, bones, and corn kernels can weaken your tooth enamel over time until it eventually breaks.

l Bad habit: If you chew on ice or gum frequently, it can eventually lead to larger teeth cracks. Bruxism (which means clenching or grinding your teeth) can also cause small fractures in your teeth.

l Trauma: Trauma from accidents or falls can also lead to cracks in your teeth if they impact hard areas of the mouth like the palate or jawbone area.

Types of Cracked Teeth

There are a few different types of cracked teeth that can occur in your mouth.

1. Hairline crack

The first type is called a hairline crack, a thin crack that only goes through the outer enamel but does not go into the root of the tooth or gum line. These cracks usually do not cause pain, but they may be unsightly.

2. Vertical cracked

The second type of cracked tooth is called vertical cracked and is where there is a deep groove that extends from the top surface down to the gum line and root of the tooth.

3. Vertical root fracture

The third type of cracked tooth is called vertical root fracture, which is when the root of your tooth breaks off or cracks. This type of crack can cause pain if they get infected, but otherwise, they aren't very serious and won't interfere with eating or speaking normally.

4. Split teeth

Lastly, split teeth are those that have completely broken into two pieces. Split teeth are the most serious types of cracked teeth and need immediate treatment.

How to Solve Cracked Teeth Problem

There are a few different ways to deal with cracked teeth. Treatment for cracked teeth includes:

1. Zirconia Veneer (For Small Crack Lines)

With this process, the dentist creates a thin layer using zirconia material to cover your damaged tooth. This is an ideal solution for you who have small cracks in your teeth and want to cover them up without having to undergo a major procedure.

2. Zirconia Dental Crown (For Vertical Cracks)

If your tooth has a vertical crack, you can consider getting a zirconia tooth crown to repair them. Crown made with zirconia material covers the entire top surface of your tooth - including any remaining parts of your natural tooth - and provides support for the tooth structure underneath it.

3. Zirconia Dental Implant (For Split Tooth)

If your tooth is split in half, a zirconia dental implant is the best solution for you. It is a tooth replacement procedure that removes the damaged tooth from your mouth and fills up the empty spaces with an artificial tooth made with zirconia material.
