Your teeth can be repair with bonding, which uses a tooth-colored composite resin.Bonding is a simple procedure that typically does not require numbing the tooth. Another option whick is more affordable are veneers.

Charles Briscoe, DDS · Answer

Repairing your  broken front teeth can be accomplished a few different ways.   Composite resin can be used to replace the missing tooth structure. It's straightforward, good looking, and relatively affordable.   Another option would be to use porcelain veneers. They are stronger, very good looking, and should last longer than composite resin. Another advantage of porcelain veneers is that you can realign the position  of the teeth to give them a straighter appearance. They are more expensive than bonding composite resin.    A third option would be to do porcelain crowns. Same advantages as porcelain veneers, but really are more invasive. More natural tooth needs to be removed to crown the whole tooth.

first you have to figure out why the teeth are bring chipped....was it due to an accident? or a misaligned bite? or perhaps excessive grinding and clenching while you're sleeping? then you and your dentist will come up with a treatment plan considering the cause and your expectations. Composite bonding or veneers are good options. You may need to adjust the bite with orthodontics ( if your dentist determines a bite issue) or wear a night guard if you're a grinder.

Hi from Sydney Australia!  You do not mention how old you are which has a bearing on my answer. If you are young, I would try to keep my natural teeth and have them bonded with tooth colored resin so the color matches the natural shade of your teeth. I would also look at the cause of why your teeth chipped in the first place. Make sure your bite is  correct.  If your bite is off, a bite guard might help adjust it  and protect your teeth from further chipping. If the chipping continues I would resort to porcelain crowns which are more durable than bonding.

Rebuilding the teeth with composite would be a great option--ask to see before and after pictures with your dentist to see the results that they routinely acheive. Good luck
