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

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.

Very technical : Very technical process where the surface of the broken tooth is micro-roughened with acid, so that a special adhesive resin can penetrate the tooth, and bond a piece of composite (or porcelain) to the broken tooth. Process may require a series of chemicals and 'curing lights' to activate and bond.
