I attached a photo below, it's small but noticeable and I know it will bother me if I don't get it fixed. It's in the red circle, zooming in will make it easier to see.
Answer: Chipped tooth repair Your case should be a relatively simple procedure of composite bonding (tooth colored filling to replace the chipped portion of tooth). It may not even require any anesthetic. Hope this helps!

Answer: Bonding I would attempt a composite bond that matched the shade of the anterior teeth. The other option may be to just polish it down, but you may need to do the same procedure on the tooth next to it to receive cosmetlic results

Answer: What one can do to fix a small chip on the front tooth? I would say you have two options. Smooth down that area is one option. It might require shortening of the adjacent tooth as well though. Otherwise two central teeth might look uneven. The other choice is to bond a small amount of tooth colored composite material. It works great, and one will never know there was a chip before.

Answer: Smoothing The Tooth Out Is The Answer Hi from Chico, CA! I think you have been given many options on how to repair your tooth ....smoothing, bonding, bite guards and a combination of them as well as Veneers. The chip is so small I am assured you are the only one that can see it! But I think you are remarkable In trying to do the right thing with your tooth by sending in the pic. It speaks a thousand words! I know when you run your tongue over the tooth it feels like a huge junk is missing. It is not! You need to have your dentist smooth this area down so you can not feel the roughness anymore. Keep your own teeth intact as long as possible ! Your natural teeth are your best teeth,.You do not need bonding or Veneers! Make sure your bite is not the cause. A a bite guard might be appropriate if your dentist feels that your bite is a little off! Sometimes the best dentistry is the least dentistry!

Answer: Bonding or smoothing Hello,You can either add a small filling / bonding to fix the little chip. Or, you can have a dentist smooth it, which is what I would suggest.This would take off minimal tooth material, but it will feel a million times better to your tongue and visually straighten the edge.Sincerely,Dr. Reiser
