I had a minor chipped tooth about 10 years ago and I can't remember what the dentist did to fix it. I called and they looked at my x rays and they said I didn't have a filling on the front tooth that was chipped. So does that mean it's just my natural tooth and there's no filling/bonding? Or would my dentist not know if my tooth was bonded just by looking at the X-Rays? I do use a different dentist since I had the tooth fixed.. But my new dentist has multiple X Rays of mine. Thanks in advance!
