A chipped tooth is a common dental problem that can occur due to various reasons such as biting down on hard objects, tooth decay, or trauma. Repairing a chipped tooth is essential to restore its function and aesthetics. Dentists employ several techniques to fix chipped teeth, depending on the severity of the damage.
One common method for fixing minor chips is dental bonding. In this procedure, the dentist applies a tooth-colored composite resin to the chipped area and molds it to match the shape of the tooth. The resin is then hardened using a curing light, and the tooth is polished to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
