Chipping a front tooth is one of those annoying accidents that happens in a split second. A patient rushed into Envy Smile Dental on a Monday morning after accidentally biting down on a metal dessert spoon over the weekend. He had pinged a corner right off his upper front tooth.<\/p>\r\n

He looked right panicky and asked me: can tooth bonding actually fix chipped teeth, or will I have to get a crown?<\/p>\r\n

I told him: stop worrying! Fixing a chipped tooth with composite bonding is hands down the quickest, easiest thing we do.<\/p>\r\n

When you chip a tooth, you do not want someone drilling away the rest of your good enamel to glue a bulky crown over it. Bonding does the exact opposite. We don’t touch your healthy tooth with a drill.<\/p>\r\n

I cleaned up his chipped corner, washed the enamel with a quick dab of blue gel, and brushed on liquid dental adhesive. Then I patted tooth-coloured resin straight onto the broken spot, shaping the corner by hand until it matched the tooth next to it.<\/p>\r\n

I clicked our blue light gun to set the resin rock solid, and polished the surface with fine sandpaper discs.<\/p>\r\n

He was out of the chair in 35 minutes flat. He had zero injections, couldn’t feel any jagged edge with his tongue, and his smile looked completely whole again.<\/p>\r\n

As long as you don’t use your teeth to open plastic tags, a bonded chip easily lasts five to seven years.
