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

See a dentist: Depending on the severity of the break. The dentist may be able to repair a minor crack on the same day, while a more serious break that requires a root canal may take multiple visits to complete the treatment. In any case the dentist will do anything to keep you comfortable.

Chipped front tooth: It is hard to answer your question without seeing your tooth and how much is broken off. A small symptom free chip can usually be restored during a single dental appointment. A large fracture may need more than just a filling, perhaps a crown or veneer, or root canal and these will take more appointments. Start by seeing a dentist ASAP for evaluation.

Depends: Front, side, or back of tooth. Front, side, or back tooth. Upper or lower. Functional surface of tooth or not. Small or large. Does it need crown, veneer, or bonding. Everyone's different. Ask your Dentist.

Chip repair: Usually, a chip can be repaired with dental bonding, which takes one appointment. The dentist smooths out the area, removes any decay, and applies a putty-like resin. The material is sculpted and hardened, then polished and refined. When complete, it will look just like tooth enamel and no one will know you’ve had dental work done. If you choose a veneer instead, it can take two or three weeks.
