What would be an efficient way to cover chipped tooth?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am brushing twice daily and maintaining good oral hygiene. My teeth are deteriorating and chipping. What would be an effective and cheap way to cover chipped front teeth?

Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The lower cost option for repairing front teeth would be composite fillings (tooth-colored filling material). It can be done chair-side and in most cases, you can walk out with the tooth repaired in one appointment. However, composite fillings cannot be one universal solution for all types of front teeth problems. Since you have mentioned deteriorating and chipping of front teeth, I suspect it to be enamel flaking off the tooth. However, I request you to send me a picture of your teeth so that I will be able to give you an appropriate treatment plan.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
