We offer weekend emergency appointments for chipped and broken teeth, so you're covered no matter when the accident happens.
The Benefits Of Fixing A Chipped Tooth Right Away
1
Prevent Further Damage
A chip that's left alone can spread into a larger crack or break, sometimes reaching the nerve. Treating it early is usually faster and less costly than waiting.
2
Reduce Sensitivity And Pain
Chipped teeth can expose the dentin layer underneath, causing sharp sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods. Repair seals the tooth and relieves that discomfort.
3
Restore Your Smile
Whether it's a front tooth or a molar, repair restores your tooth's natural shape and appearance so you can smile, eat, and speak with confidence again.
4
Avoid Infection
An exposed inner tooth layer is vulnerable to bacteria. Prompt repair helps protect against decay and infection that could lead to a root canal or extraction later.

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.
