A member asked:

Will i need a crown if i chipped my tooth a little bit?

Nooooo!!!!!!!: Without seeing the "chip" it is hard to be definitive, but..... With today's technology we can do onlays, inlays or even bonding, which are all much more conservative options. Make sure you see a qualified dentist, trained in contemporary dentistry. There are way too many destructive crowns still being done due to lack of knowledge, training, experience or worse, to increase profit.

Varies: Depends on the condition of the tooth and the size of any fillings in it. If the chip is minor, it may only need to be smoothed. If the tooth broke because of a large filling or decay, then it may need a crown. Only by seeing a dentist for an exam, can any one know what you truly need.
