How to Fix a
Chipped Tooth
A chipped tooth can usually be repaired in a single visit. Treatment depends on size: bonding for small chips, veneers or crowns for larger damage.
Small Chips
Composite bonding (from Β£168) is applied directly to rebuild the missing piece. Completed in 30-60 minutes. No drilling. Colour-matched to your natural tooth.
Larger Chips
Porcelain veneers (from Β£471) cover the entire front surface, ideal when the chip affects appearance significantly. Crowns (from Β£571) are used when structural integrity is compromised.
