Repairing Chipped Teeth in Birmingham

Fast, Invisible Repairs for a Flawless Finish

A chipped tooth can happen in an instant—a sports injury, a trip, or simply biting into something hard. While it may feel minor, a chip can expose the sensitive inner layers of the tooth and affect the symmetry of your smile. At Acorn Dental, we specialise in “invisible” repairs that blend perfectly with your natural enamel.

Beyond the aesthetics, a chip creates a rough surface that can irritate your tongue or cheeks, and if left unaddressed, it can lead to further cracking. We prioritse quick, durable solutions that restore both the strength and the beauty of your tooth.

How We Fix Chipped Teeth

  • Immediate Composite Bonding: Using advanced dental resins, we can rebuild the chipped corner of your tooth. We match the colour so perfectly that you won’t be able to see where the tooth ends and the repair begins.
  • Porcelain Onlays: If the chip is large or located on a back molar, an onlay provides a high-strength “puzzle piece” repair that protects the tooth from further fracturing under biting pressure.
  • Smoothing & Contouring: For very minor chips, we can sometimes gently smooth the edge of the tooth to restore a clean, even line without the need for filling materials.
  • Protective Dental Crowns: For significant chips that compromise the structural integrity of the tooth, a bespoke crown can be placed to provide 360-degree support and a flawless finish.

Our Dentist Will Repair Your Chipped Tooth

At Acorn Dental, our skilled dentists will assess the extent of the chip and check the health of the remaining tooth structure. If only a small corner of the tooth is chipped, we can typically restore its natural shape using cosmetic composite bonding in a single, pain-free visit. For more significant chips that affect the strength of the tooth, additional treatments such as a porcelain crown or onlay may be necessary to ensure long-term durability and a seamless result.

If a chipped tooth is affecting your confidence or causing sensitivity, don’t wait. Contact Acorn Dental for expert restorative care and an “invisible” repair. With our three locations in Moseley, Barnt Green, and Blythe Valley Park, we’re here to help you restore the symmetry of your smile quickly and comfortably.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to fix a chipped tooth?

If we are using composite bonding, the repair is usually completed in just one 30 to 60-minute appointment. You will walk out with your smile fully restored. Porcelain repairs, such as onlays or crowns, typically take two visits to ensure a precision fit from our dental laboratory.

Will the repair look natural?

Absolutely. We use a wide palette of enamel shades to layer the composite material, mimicking the translucency and light-reflecting properties of your natural teeth. Once polished, the repair is virtually indistinguishable from the rest of the tooth.

Is fixing a chipped tooth painful?

In most cases, bonding is entirely pain-free and doesn’t even require a local anaesthetic, as we are simply adding to the tooth surface. For deeper chips that require more preparation, we ensure the area is completely numb so you don’t feel a thing
