A member asked:
Can any doc tell me what's done to repair a chipped tooth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: This answer is not just a simple answer. The size, location, depth of the chip are all factors in what is done to restore the tooth back to proper function and esthetics. Some chipped teeth might not need to be restored, and some chips might require a crown to restore to health. Some smaller chips might just need to have some bonding to restore the tooth. See a dentist to have proper diagnosis.
