A Closer Look at Chipped Tooth Repair

Whether it’s a tiny nick on a front tooth or a bigger break on a back molar, we’ll explain your options before we start.

Ways We Repair a Chipped Tooth
Appointments That Work With Your Day
Same-Day Visits
If you chipped a tooth this morning, call us. We’ll try to see you that day so you aren’t left uncomfortable or self-conscious.
Evening Appointments
Accidents don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule. If you need care after work, tell us, and we’ll look for the soonest opening.
Weekend Appointments
Chipped and broken teeth are covered on weekends, too, so you can get help whenever it happens.
Reasons Not to Wait
1
Keep the Damage From Spreading
A chip can grow into a crack or a break that reaches the nerve. Dealing with it early is usually simpler and less expensive.
2
Calm Tooth Sensitivity
When the inner layer is exposed, hot, cold, and sweet things can sting. Repair seals the area and eases that discomfort.
3
Get Your Smile Back
Front tooth or back molar, a repaired tooth looks natural and works properly, so you can eat, talk, and smile without thinking about it.
4
Guard Against Infection
Exposed areas give bacteria a way in, which can lead to decay or an infection that calls for a root canal or extraction. Quick repair helps prevent that.

Chipped Tooth Repair FAQs for Wells Branch Patients
Is a chipped tooth an emergency?
It depends on the damage. A tiny, painless chip may be able to wait a day or two, but pain, sensitivity, a sharp edge, or a chip deep enough to expose the inner tooth deserves prompt attention. If you’re not sure, call us at (512) 961-6200 and we’ll help you decide.
What should I do right after I chip a tooth?
Rinse gently with warm water and save any pieces you can find. Use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek if there’s swelling, and avoid chewing on that side. Then call us for the earliest appointment.
How long does the repair take?
Bonding can often be done in one visit, sometimes in under an hour. Veneers and crowns may need a second visit if the restoration has to be custom-made.
Will the repair hurt?
Bonding is usually painless and often doesn’t need numbing. For crowns, veneers, or root canal work, we’ll numb the area so you stay comfortable.
Can a chipped tooth fix itself?
No. Enamel doesn’t grow back, so even a small chip needs a dentist’s attention to keep it from getting worse. Cost depends on the size of the chip and the treatment you choose. Bonding is typically the most affordable option, and we can discuss payment options during your visit.
