Can you fix a small chip with a filling?+
Often, yes. Small chips and worn areas are among the things fillings repair, although a larger break may require something sturdier. An examination shows how much sound tooth is left to support the material.
Why does food keep getting stuck in the same place?+
A chipped tooth or a restoration that is breaking down can create a catch point, and other causes are possible too. Show us where it happens so the area can be assessed and any repair can restore a shape that is easier to keep clean.
Does a chipped tooth need freezing?+
That depends on the depth and location of the repair. Numbing is used when needed, and with it most people report feeling pressure or vibration rather than anything sharp. Ask about your specific tooth before treatment begins.
How will I know the filling isn’t too high?+
We check how your teeth meet before you leave and adjust it if something feels uneven. Numbness can make this harder to judge, so call us if the tooth seems to touch first after the feeling comes back.
Is tooth-coloured material strong enough for back teeth?+
It can be, depending on the size of the repair, the bite forces involved, moisture control and how much healthy tooth remains. Your examination determines whether composite resin or another restoration is more suitable.
