Question 1

help please? how long does it take to get a chipped tooth fixed?

Accepted Answer

Depends on size: It all depends on how extensive the chip is, does it involve a significant portion of the tooth, or is it just a small portion of the tooth.  Dentists also vary greatly in the speed at which we practice.  Some are very fast and others are slower.  Call a dentist to have this evaluated and then ask the time frame and the fee to be charged.

Question 2

how much time does it take to get a chipped tooth fixed?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Depends on the extent of restorative treatment needed.  A simple bonded restoration usually takes no longer than one visit at your dentist.

Question 3

how to fix a chipped tooth?

Accepted Answer

Chipped tooth: The answer depends upon how much tooth is chipped and where it is located. .If it's a front tooth and the chip is small a tooth colored material can be bonded to restore it. If it is more substantial then a veneer or crown may be necessary.
If it's a back tooth, and it is only a small chip, then a bonded tooth colored filling may suffice. If it is larger, then a bonded onlay or crown may be needed.

Question 4

can you tell me how do they fix a chipped tooth?

Accepted Answer

Bonded resin/porcela: Depending on size and location, a resin can be bonded.  If a large piece is missing, porcelain can be bonded in place, which is more durable.

Question 5

how can i get a chipped tooth fixed?

Accepted Answer

See your dentist :): Have your dentist look at it and give you options. It could require a lot of work, nothing or anywhere in between. The answer should be simple once you get a professional eval. Good luck!

Question 6

could a chipped tooth fall out overnight ?

Accepted Answer

No: Are you asking if the tooth itself or the chip?  It's extremely rare for a non-loose tooth to suddenly fall out.  If the tooth is chipped and part of the chip is loose and attached by the gums, then it is possible for that part of the tooth to fall out.  See a dentist to have the tooth evaluated and treated.

Question 7

will it hurt to get your chipped tooth fix?

Accepted Answer

Chipped tooth: Regardless of how big the chip, or the procedure necessary to restore it, your dentist should be able to make this a painless process. Be sure to share your concerns with them before they begin treatment.

Question 8

can getting a chipped tooth sanded down hurt?

Accepted Answer

Why sand it down?: It is usually not a good idea to sand down or buff down a chipped tooth. It is much more advisable to repair the chip and protect the nerve inside while preventing further chipping. Teeth slowly wear over the years so don't speed it up. Add back and don't take more tooth structure away! please go to your dentist to discuss your specific options.

Question 9

can a chipped tooth cause my tooth to turn black?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely!: The trauma that cause the chip in your tooth could have damaged the nerve and blood vessels inside the tooth. As the tissue in the tooth dies, it will literally stain your tooth from the inside out giving it a dark brown or blackish color. The tooth should probably be treated with endodontic therapy as soon as possible before  the infection spreads. Please go to your dentist.

Question 10

what to do with a child who gets a chipped tooth?

Accepted Answer

Watchful waiting: Most of the time a chipped baby tooth can be left alone and it will maintain the space needed for the permanent teeth to erupt.  However, if it involves the nerve it can cause problems.  It is best to check with your dentist.
