For a Chipped tooth the best and most inexpensive remedy is dental bonding. A dentist will use a tooth colored filling material for repair. Most of the time we are able to achieve a very esthetic result. However, depending on the size of the chip, bonding is not as strong as a porcelain veneer or a porcelain crown; which can often cost 4 to 5 times the amount of dental bonding.This is a 1 step procedure that usually requires no anesthetic and takes typically 30 minutes.Steven M.

Hey Clara,No need to worry, these type of things happen all the time and you will smile again. Depending on the size of the chip you could most likely get it fixed with a relatively inexpensive bonding. Just make sure you go to a cosmetic dentist who can do a good job. In terms of payment, my office offers Care Credit which can split up the payments into 12 to 24 months intervals with no interest. Hope that helps!

Thank you for your question and photos. From the the x-ray and photos, it appears that a root canal may be necessary before undergoing additional procedures to replace the missing portion of the tooth. Even if you are not experiencing any pain, it is possible that decay can...
If your tooth is darkening or has a cyst at the end of the root then a root canal would be indicated. If you elect not to get a root canal since it is apparently not hurting you then in my practice we would monitor it with an xray every year and a half. If a cyst begins to develop then get...
By the time you can see a cavity, it could be quite large. The surface of the cavity is usually much smaller and it spreads to the inside of the tooth. This is why people have root canals. The tooth does not hurt until the cavity reaches the nerve. Sometimes it will not hurt at all and then t...
I suggest immediately seeing an oral surgeon in order to evaluate for sinus exposure. The oral surgeon should be able to easily correct if sinus exposure is an issue. Furthermore, the root should be removed to avoid any problems that may arise down the road.
