Repairing a chipped tooth could be achieved in different ways depending on the extent of the chip, where it is, and whether it has caused any wider issues. Even if a chip does not cause you any pain it is always advisable to get the issue looked at by a dentist, preferably through an emergency appointment. What may not seem like an issue could soon turn into one if left untreated. Below are some ways that we could treat a chipped tooth (teeth pictured repaired by composite bonding):
Repairing A Chipped Tooth
Composite Bonding/Composite Veneers:
This option uses composite bonding to resculpt the tooth back to its former shape. This is especially good for use on teeth that are very visible, such as the front teeth.
Dental Veneers:
A dental veneer (or porcelain veneer) can be used to cover a chip, stain, crack, or any other damage that does not affect the integrity of the tooth’s structure. Veneers are a very popular way of changing the look of someone’s smile for the better.
A Filling:
A tooth filling could be used to repair a chipped tooth, especially if it is on a part of the tooth that is not visible or is not very noticeable. Fillings can also be used to repair teeth after decay or cavities develop, as well as after a root canal treatment. Fillings can be white, metal, gold, silver, or other material.
