How will a dentist fix a broken composite bonded tooth?

Question

I got a composite bond on my tooth around 1 week ago. On the back of my tooth, it has cracked and chipped making it quite uncomfortable. How will my dentist be able to fix this??

Hi:
Please go back to your dentist right away.  He/she will either replace the bonding or patch the area of the chip.
Best,
Dr. Maddahi

Dear CourtneyNC, Composite bonding that fractures within a week is either too thin or placed too high meaning it contacts before any of the other teeth. It should be completely replaced because once the acrylic resins polymerize there is no good way to add to them with proper attachment.
