Why You Shouldn’t Put It Off
1
Stop the Damage From Spreading
A small chip can grow into a larger crack or break, sometimes reaching the nerve. Fixing it early is usually quicker and less costly.
2
Calm Tooth Sensitivity
Once enamel is gone, the layer underneath can react sharply to heat, cold, and sweets. Repair seals the tooth and relieves that sting.
3
Get Your Smile Back
Whether it’s a front tooth or a molar, repair brings back the tooth’s natural shape so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
4
Guard Against Infection
An exposed tooth is easier for bacteria to reach. Prompt repair lowers the risk of decay and infection that could otherwise lead to a root canal or extraction.

FAQs About Chipped Tooth Repair
Is A Chipped Tooth A Dental Emergency?
It depends on the severity. A small, painless chip may not need same-day care, but if you're in pain, notice sensitivity, see a sharp or jagged edge, or the chip exposes the inner tooth, you should call our office right away. When in doubt, it's always safer to get it checked.
What Should I Do Right After Chipping A Tooth?
Rinse your mouth with warm water, save any broken tooth fragments if you can find them, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling if needed. Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth, and call us at (512) 961-6200 to schedule a same-day appointment.
How Long Does Chipped Tooth Repair Take?
Most chipped tooth repairs with bonding can be completed in a single visit, often in under an hour. Veneers and crowns may take one to two visits, depending on whether a custom restoration needs to be fabricated.
Does Chipped Tooth Repair Hurt?
Bonding is typically painless and doesn't usually require anesthesia. If your repair involves a crown, veneer, or root canal, we'll numb the area so you're comfortable throughout treatment.
How Much Does Chipped Tooth Repair Cost?
Cost depends on the size of the chip and the treatment needed. Bonding is generally the most affordable option, while veneers and crowns cost more but offer added durability. We offer a guaranteed payment plan so cost doesn't stand between you and getting your tooth repaired.
Can A Chipped Tooth Heal On Its Own?
No. Tooth enamel cannot regenerate or repair itself. Even a small chip needs professional treatment to prevent it from worsening over time.
