At my last dentist appointment, they told me I chipped my two front teeth from biting or chewing something too hard and to try and stop. But now I feel self conscious about it and I don't know if they'd look 'fine' to other people when I smile. I don't know whether I should leave it and they'll be fine, or if I should get something done.
Answer: Bonding to correct small chips An exam of the rest of the teeth and the way that your lower teeth bite along with a dental history of when and how the chips occurred would allow for a better determination if bonding would be the correct treatment for you. Overall, the chips looks small, many times some reduction by polishing the tooth edges can smoothen the small chips on the edge of the two front teeth and thereby improve the cosmetics. Bonding can conversely be added to the teeth, however, they may chip or need maintenance down the line.

Answer: Chipped front teeth Hi:The smile does not look bad at all. However, if you are self conscious, you can have your dentist lightly polish the edge of the two front teeth to make it straighter looking. The chip is too small to have bonding done that will last very long.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Answer: Many Reasons for a Chip to Appear It is impossible to diagnosis an issue without a full examination. When you have a chip in your teeth the dentist needs to determine the extent of the damage. One method is to use the Ellis classification of fractures. Looking at your photo it appears that the fracture is only in the enamel or Ellis Class 1. Your fractures are most likely pain free due to the fact you have not fractured completely through the enamel or outer surface of the teeth. Your statement of being told to "to try and stop" put a smile on my face. I would of replied "Easier said then done". If you do not know what you did to cause this fracture then most likely it was caused by excessive teeth grinding at night (Bruxism). This is an oral parafunctional habit while you sleep and can be treated with a fitted bite splint designed by your dentist.
