Let our quiz guide you (and remember, it’s always easy and smart to call us for a visit).
Quiz Questions: True or False?
- True or False: If you have chipped teeth, you most definitely need to see us right away to prevent more severe issues from happening, such as infection.
- True or False: If you are dealing with chips, then you will need to consider dental crowns, as this type of restoration is your smartest choice.

Quiz Answers
- False. Chipped teeth aren’t dangerous for your overall smile health. True, you may find them unsightly. They may even irritate your tongue or other tissues. However, you don’t need to do anything about them unless you want to.
- False. You won’t need crowns for chips. Crowns are for serious damage to your teeth. A chip is something that’s very minor (just a bit of enamel is missing). You need cosmetic care, not restorative care.
- True. Whether we need to smooth the area down or build it back up, we can address chips with either bonding or contouring. Just schedule a consultation!
