A chipped tooth might seem minor, but it can lead to discomfort, sensitivity, or further damage if not treated quickly. We provide same-day care to restore your smile and prevent complications.
Common Signs of a Chipped Tooth
A small piece missing from the edge of a tooth
A rough or sharp edge against your tongue
Sensitivity to cold drinks or air
Discomfort when biting or chewing
A visible change in the shape of your tooth
Common Causes of a Chipped Tooth
- Accidental trauma or injury
- Chewing hard foods like ice or nuts
- Weakened teeth due to decay
- Old fillings or dental work
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
Chipped Tooth Treatment Options
Seek treatment immediately if the tooth is sharp or jagged, you feel pain when chewing, the chip has exposed the nerve, there's bleeding or swelling, or the tooth feels loose or cracked further.
Your treatment will depend on the size and location of the chip. After a thorough examination, we may recommend smoothing or polishing the edge for minor chips, composite bonding to restore the tooth's shape, dental veneers for more visible front teeth, crowns for larger fractures, or root canal treatment if the nerve is damaged.
