Chipped or broken tooth repair in Dubai
Chips happen from biting hard food, accidents or grinding. Most can be repaired invisibly when treated early.
A small chip is usually repaired in one visit with tooth-coloured composite bonding. Larger breaks may need a veneer or crown, and fractures reaching the nerve need root canal treatment first. Keep any broken piece and book promptly, especially if the tooth is sensitive.
Key facts
- Small chip → bonding, often one visit
- Large break → crown or veneer
- Nerve exposed → root canal first
- Keep the broken fragment
Small chips
Composite bonding rebuilds the edge in the tooth's own shade, often in a single visit with little or no drilling.
Larger fractures
When a large part of the tooth is lost, a crown or porcelain veneer protects and restores it.
When the nerve is involved
Pain, a pink spot or exposed nerve means root canal treatment before the tooth is rebuilt.
Composite bonding shapes tooth-coloured resin directly onto the tooth to repair chips, close small gaps or even out edges. It usually needs little or no drilling and is completed in a single appointment.

Where can I get a broken or chipped tooth repaired in Dubai?
Dr. Manhal Helfawee repairs chipped and broken teeth at Manhal Medical Center in Dubai, using composite bonding for small chips and veneers, onlays or crowns for larger breaks. He first checks whether the nerve is affected, sometimes with an X-ray. If the break exposes the nerve or causes severe pain, call the clinic for an urgent appointment.
Can a broken tooth be glued back together?
Sometimes — if you keep the broken piece clean and moist, Dr. Manhal Helfawee at Manhal Medical Center in Dubai may be able to bond it back on, depending on the fracture. More often the tooth is rebuilt with tooth-coloured composite or a ceramic restoration for strength. Do not use household glue on a tooth; bring the fragment in milk or water.
My back tooth broke on the side — does it need a filling or a crown?
A small side break on a molar can often be fixed with a filling, while Dr. Manhal Helfawee at Manhal Medical Center in Dubai may recommend an onlay or crown if a large part of the tooth or a cusp has broken off. Cracks that cause pain on biting need prompt attention so they do not split further. Avoid chewing on that side until it is checked.

What patients say on Google
Verbatim Google reviews (4★ and 5★) — shown in the original language.
Like many people, I don't enjoy the dentist. For many years I avoided visits out of fear. I found Manhal 15 years ago, and he is a wonderful dentist. Calming presence. Excellent implantology as well as other dental work. I have recommended him personally to many friends, and will continue to do so. I just hope he doesn't ever retire. When I have been overseas with dental problems, I have flown back to Dubai specifically to see him. Could not imagine ever going to another dentist.this was my first visit to Dr Manhal after recomendation from my husband, i needed his consultation after i visited more than one doctor in Lebanon with no luck, i am glad i visited him, he is very professional the clinic is very clean with great staffAmazing service and very friendly team I'm very happy with my dental implant results with Dr.Manhal ❤️
