Question

How do you fix a partially chipped tooth?

Answer 1

you dentist will have options available based on your specific needs & quality of the injured tooth.  call for an appointment.

Answer 2

One of my teeth is 1/2 bondo.  The dentist who put it on there said it would last 5-10 years.  Its been 15 and so far so good.  It looks completely natural.    

Answer 3

It depends on where the tooth is in your mouth and how large the chip is.

If it is small, they may just need to smooth it out.

If it is larger, they possibly can just fill it with a composite/tooth colored filling.  That is normally done in one appointment and even in front, can be virtually undetectable.

If it is large, on a front tooth it may need either a veneer (covers the front facing of the tooth) or a crown (covers entire tooth).  Either one of those can be made to look very natural as well.  Large chipped teeth in back normally need to be crowned.

Those are the most likely options (which your dentist will determine) depending on size/location of the chip.  

Answer 4

well it depends how its chipped, if theyre molars, or not the front teeth they'll spray a solution which will protect the tooh from cavities for two years. its called caps, other wise they'll use a sort of paste to keep it looking normal
