Chipping a tooth can happen unexpectedly, leaving you with a sharp and misshapened edge that looks bad and could cause you injury. People usually chip their teeth from biting down on solid foods or accidentally damaging them. Even if you brush your teeth and attempt to keep them strong, there is no telling when you might chip your tooth. Sometimes plaque and decay accumulation may have weakened the tooth to its limit.
You should make an emergency appointment to see a professional dentist in Porter Ranch whenever you chip a tooth. The dentist can perform tooth filling and dental bonding procedures to restore the shape of the chipped tooth.
A tooth filling is a restorative dental procedure. First, the dentist will attempt to remove the decayed or deteriorated areas of the natural tooth. Next, the dentist will fill these missing areas with a synthetic material like composite resin. This filling material is made to match the color of your natural teeth.
Dental bondings are similar to dental fillings because both use composite resin material. However, a dental bonding procedure doesn’t repair and restore a damaged tooth. The dentist attaches or bonds the tooth-colored composite resin onto the damaged tooth rather than filling it with the resin. It is a more affordable option compared to a dental filling procedure.

1) Prevents Further Tooth Decay
If you get a tooth filling procedure, the cavity or decay matter will get removed from the tooth and replaced with the composite resin. It will prevent further tooth decay as long as you practice better oral hygiene.
2) Better Smile
Tooth filling and dental bonding fix the gaps and misshapenness of your damaged teeth. As a result, the shape and appearance of your teeth will appear natural and complete, giving you a gorgeous white smile.
3) Restores Normal Tooth Functionality
Chipped teeth make it difficult to chew foods correctly or at all. Not only that, but they can negatively impact your digestive health if you continue swallowing improperly chewed foods.
Tooth filling and dental bonding will restore your standard tooth functionality so you can chew foods correctly.
4) Prevents Accidental Oral Injury
It is easy to accidentally injure your gums, tongue, or mouth if you have one or more chipped teeth in your mouth. Dental bonding will correct the sharp edges and allow you to chew correctly.
5) Fast Procedure
A tooth filling can take between 10 to 60 minutes. Dental bonding can take 30 to 60 minutes. You won’t have to be in the chair for too long, and of course, the professionals at Porter Ranch Dental Studio will make sure you feel relaxed & comfortable.
No, it is affordable for the average patient’s budget. You can expect to pay about $100-$200 per tooth that needs to get bonded.
