Intraoral camera reveal before any instrument
Dr. Thompson photographs the fractured tooth with the chairside intraoral camera and shows the Ellis depth on the monitor so parents see what he is seeing. Nothing gets touched until the family agrees on the plan.

If you have other kids with you, the Scott Street team seats them in adjacent chairs rather than splitting the visit across two trips. One parent, one waiting room, one check-out.

Why Broken or Chipped Tooth Repair Can't Wait — Houston
Dental emergencies get worse by the hour. The sooner you act, the better the outcome.
✓
A fracture that has reached the dentin exposes tiny tubules connected to the pulp; the longer that is open to saliva and food debris, the higher the risk the nerve becomes symptomatic and needs root canal therapy instead of simple bonding.
✓
If the break has exposed the pulp, vital pulp capping is only an option while the tooth is still vital — waiting turns a pulp cap into a root canal, and a delayed pulp into an extraction.
✓
A broken fragment stored in cold milk or saline can often be bonded back for a near-invisible restoration, but only if it reaches the chair before it dries out — every hour out of the mouth reduces the chance of a clean reattachment.

What's Included in Your Broken or Chipped Tooth Repair — Houston
Here's what to expect when you visit Rodeo Dental in Houston, TX for broken or chipped tooth repair:
1.
Ellis category depth grading
Dr. Thompson classifies the break as Ellis I (enamel only), Ellis II (enamel and dentin), or Ellis III (into the pulp) to decide between polish, liner-plus-composite, or pulp therapy.
2.
Periapical film to rule out root fracture
A periapical radiograph is taken before any definitive restoration to confirm the root is intact — a hidden vertical root fracture would change the plan from restoration to extraction.
3.
Original-fragment composite reattachment
For clean Ellis I and II breaks where the patient brought the piece in cold milk or saline, the original fragment is etched and bonded back with composite resin for a near-seamless result.
4.
Protective dentin liner under Ellis II composite
Enamel-and-dentin fractures receive a liner placed over exposed dentin first, then a shaped composite buildup on top to insulate the pulp from thermal and bacterial insult.
5.
Vital pulp cap or staged root canal for Ellis III
Exposed pulp in a vital, asymptomatic tooth receives a direct pulp cap; a symptomatic pulp goes straight into root canal therapy, both completed in-suite at Scott Street.
6.
Staged crown seat at 4–6 weeks with pulp recheck
Larger restorations return in four to six weeks for definitive crown or onlay cementation, with vitality testing at six to eight weeks to confirm the pulp stayed healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Broken or Chipped Tooth Repair
Where exactly is the Scott Street office and where do I park for a broken-tooth visit?
We're at 6102 Scott St Suite E, Houston, TX 77021, just south of the 610 Loop near MacGregor Park. Pull into the lot fronting Scott Street and walk straight into Suite E — no garage, no meter.
Can I bring my Medicaid or CHIP card and have my kids seen the same day as me?
Yes. Our bilingual front desk verifies Medicaid and CHIP on arrival and we block family time so siblings can be seated back-to-back rather than sent home for a second trip.
What are your hours if my tooth breaks on a Saturday morning?
Saturdays we're open 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Weekdays we run 9–6 Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, and 10–7 Wednesday and Thursday. Call (281) 519-0725 and we'll work you in.
Do I need to see an outside specialist if the break reaches the nerve?
No. Dr. J. Sylvester Thompson handles pulp caps, root canal therapy, and crown placement at Scott Street, so you don't get bounced to a separate office for the nerve work.

What makes our Houston office unique for broken or chipped tooth repair
Broken or Chipped Tooth Repair for Houston Families
Scott Street Houston Dentists sits at 6102 Scott St Suite E in 77021, a quick hop south of the 610 Loop between MacGregor Park and the University of Houston campus. Families from South Union, OST/South Union, and Sunnyside walk in with cracked molars after a wrong bite on pecan brittle from Frenchy's or a spill on the courts at Texas Southern's rec fields. The neighborhood leans heavily Spanish- and English-speaking Medicaid and CHIP households, and our front desk is set up so a mom pushing a stroller off Scott can confirm her kid's coverage and get the fracture photographed within minutes. When a tooth splits on a Tuesday afternoon, you don't want to drive to the Medical Center and pay a parking garage — you want to park right off Scott Street, walk into Suite E, and see Dr. J. Sylvester Thompson before school pickup at Yates High.
