Bonding is ideal for small chips. The resin is shade-matched to your tooth and hardened with light. Results are immediate and the procedure takes one appointment.
Learn About BondingUnderstanding Your Chip
The severity of a chipped tooth ranges from a minor cosmetic chip affecting only the enamel to a deeper chip exposing the dentin or even reaching the nerve. The treatment depends on how deep the chip extends into the tooth structure.
Minor chips are cosmetic concerns. Deeper chips that expose dentin may cause sensitivity or pain, and chips that reach the nerve require urgent treatment to prevent infection.
