Or a cricket ball caught you in the mouth. Or an old filling finally gave way and took half the tooth with it. Whatever happened, you are now searching for broken tooth repair in Lahore and trying to work out two things: can this tooth be saved, and what is it going to cost. Here is the short version. Most broken teeth can be saved. The ones that cannot are usually the ones people waited too long on. And the cost ranges from PKR 5,000 for a small chip to around PKR 35,000 for a tooth that needs a full crown. Extraction and an implant, which is what you end up paying for if the tooth is lost, runs PKR 80,000 to 300,000. The maths almost always favours saving the tooth. This guide walks through what each type of damage needs, what it costs in Lahore right now, and how to tell whether your tooth is repairable before you even walk into a clinic. We handle these cases daily at our dental restoration service in DHA Super Town.

What to Do in the First Hour Repair or Extract: The Real Comparison When a Root Canal Is Part of the Repair How Long Each Repair Lasts What Happens If You Wait Choosing the Right Clinic Types of Tooth Damage and What Each One Needs Not every break is the same, and the treatment depends entirely on how deep the damage goes. Dentists classify broken teeth into five categories, and your repair cost follows directly from which one you are in. 1. Craze Lines and Hairline Cracks These are thin vertical lines in the enamel. They look alarming in the mirror but do not reach the dentin underneath. Most adults over 30 have some. No pain, no sensitivity, no treatment needed unless you want them polished out for cosmetic reasons. Treatment: Usually none. Cosmetic polishing if desired, around PKR 3,000. 2. Chipped Enamel A piece of the outer surface has come off, usually from biting something hard or a knock to the face. The tooth does not hurt but the edge feels sharp against your tongue and looks uneven when you smile. Treatment: Composite bonding. The dentist sculpts tooth coloured resin onto the chip, shapes it to match, and hardens it with a curing light. Done in one 30 to 45 minute appointment, no numbing needed in most cases. Cost: PKR 5,000 to 8,000 per tooth. 3. Fractured Cusp A chunk of the chewing surface has broken off, usually on a molar that already had a large old filling. The tooth may be sensitive to pressure but the nerve is normally fine because the fracture stays above the pulp chamber. Treatment: An onlay or a crown, depending on how much structure is left. An onlay covers the damaged cusps while preserving the healthy parts of the tooth. A crown covers everything. Cost: Onlay PKR 10,000 to 20,000. Crown PKR 15,000 to 35,000 depending on material. 4. Tooth Broken in Half A major fracture has taken a large portion of the tooth, often down to or near the gum line. This hurts, the nerve is usually exposed, and hot or cold food sends a sharp shock through the tooth. Treatment: Root canal first to remove the exposed nerve, then a post placed inside the root canal to anchor a core build up, then a crown over the rebuilt structure. This is the procedure people mean when they ask about rebuilding a tooth from scratch. Cost: Root canal PKR 8,000 to 25,000 plus post and core PKR 12,000 to 25,000 plus crown PKR 15,000 to 35,000. 5. Split Tooth or Vertical Root Fracture The fracture runs lengthwise down through the root, splitting the tooth into separate segments. This is the one case where repair usually is not possible, because there is no stable foundation left to build on. Treatment: Extraction followed by an implant or bridge. In some molars with multiple roots, one root can be removed and the rest of the tooth saved, but this is uncommon. Cost: Extraction PKR 3,000 to 8,000. Replacement with an implant PKR 80,000 to 300,000. Broken Tooth Repair Cost in Lahore 2026 Quick answer: Broken tooth repair in Lahore costs PKR 5,000 to PKR 80,000.
