Not Significant: If it is small chip a simple polish may do it. If concerned, ask your dentist.

Clinical examination: See your dentist for an evaluation. If the dentist feels that treatment is warranted, they may want to smooth the area down, if small or place a composite if larger.

Why does my dentist grind my tooth instead of lengthen it to match the other tooth. Chipped one front tooth in two places, ground it down and bonded?
