Bonding vs. filing?

Question

what's better for chipped teeth and who does what? (like what kind of doctor does each?)

Answer 1

probably bonding more teeth =more happy

Answer 2

I think bonding will be better, but in real bonding is simply composite filling :). Cosmetic dentist may do it for you.

Answer 3

Filling! But it's your choice. I would recommend filling though! ^_-

Answer 4

A bonding is a filling. It is just a technical term. General dentist do these as does a cosmetic dentist, but a bonding just really means that they are using a tooth colored filling material instead of the old silver fillings.

Silver fillings are just mechanical fillings where the filling material fills the space that is missing. Bonding type fillings are chemical fillings, they actually bond with the tooth.

Answer 5

depending on the extent of fracture. It it is small, bonding composits can be used but if it is more, you may need a root canal treatment & a crown. Fillings are for decayed teeth.
