How Long Can It Take To Restore A Chipped Tooth?

Posted by

While there is never a “right” time to injure a tooth, you can be understandably alarmed if your tooth becomes chipped before an important event. In a situation like this, you can be particularly concerned about how quickly the damage can be restored. At our Sheridan, WY dental practice, we can quickly treat an issue with dental damage through cosmetic bonding. A bonding procedure makes it possible to address a tooth’s injury without crafting a custom restoration for it.
