Cosmetic Dentistry Solutions for Chipped Teeth

Enamel recontouring
Enamel recontouring is a painless non-invasive way to reshape your teeth. It is often used to remove a very small amount of enamel, but in the case of chipped teeth, a tooth-colored laminate can be used to build up your tooth, as well.

Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers are a thin shell of porcelain that is bonded to the surface of your teeth. They as custom crafted to match the color and shape of your teeth, and porcelain interacts with light in the same way as real tooth enamel, so they look alive and natural. Porcelain veneers can cover several imperfections in one treatment, so they are a great choice if your teeth are discolored, crooked, or misshapen.

Dental bonding
Dental bonding can replace up to half of your tooth. Rather than crafting the replacement in a lab, dental bonding uses a material that is sculpted to your tooth and then polished to a beautiful finish.

Dental implants
If you are missing a significant portion of your tooth, you may wish to have the entire tooth replaced with a permanent dental implant. The implant itself is a titanium rod that replaces the roots of your tooth and fuses with your jawbone. A porcelain false tooth is then attached to this rod. A dental implant looks and acts just like your natural tooth.

As you can see, there are many options for correcting a chipped tooth. Each case is unique and the best solution for you will depend on the extent of damage to the chipped tooth itself, and whether or not you wish to address any problems with surrounding teeth at the same time.

It's annoying, right? But I don't really see the substance of trying to get a chipped tooth fixed... Is it really that important?
