Broken Tooth Repair in San Francisco

Same-day repair for chipped, cracked, or broken teeth in the Sunset District. Dr. Timothy Loo restores damaged teeth with conservative options like inlays, onlays, and custom dental crowns.

Matching the Repair to the Damage Not every broken tooth needs a crown. Dr. Timothy Loo matches the repair to how much of the tooth is actually affected, so you keep as much of your natural tooth as possible.

The Right Repair
for Your Tooth

Depending on the size and location of the damage, Dr. Loo may recommend an inlay, onlay, or crown to restore strength while preserving healthy tooth structure whenever possible.

Before and after inlay repair for a damaged tooth

Inlay

For damage that sits inside the cusps of the tooth. A custom-fit ceramic inlay is stronger and longer-lasting than a regular filling.

Onlay

For larger damage that also covers one or more cusps, without removing as much natural tooth as a full crown.

Finished ceramic onlay used to repair and protect a damaged tooth

Crown

For a tooth that is badly broken or weakened, when full coverage gives the best long-term protection.

Often in One Visit

Same-Day Repair When It Makes Sense

Because Dr. Loo designs and mills many ceramic restorations in-house, many broken tooth repairs are completed the same day. That often means no messy impressions and, in many cases, no temporary restoration.

Some cases, including implant crowns or very large restorations, may need more than one visit. Dr. Loo will let you know up front so you understand your options before treatment begins.
