Video Transcript

A chipped or slightly gapped front tooth can often be repaired in a single visit. The dentist lightly prepares the tooth surface so the material can grip. A soft, tooth-colored resin is placed onto the tooth. The resin is shaped and sculpted to rebuild the natural contour. A curing light quickly hardens the resin in place. The bonding is then trimmed and polished until it blends in. The result is a repaired tooth that matches the ones around it. This video is for general education only. It is not medical or dental advice. Ask your dentist what's right for you.
