What can be done for my badly chipped front teeth

Q. My two front teeth are badly chipped. what do you recommended

 

A. If the rest of the tooth and surrounding teeth are healthy and the chipping is only localised then I would recommend composite bonding ( white fillings) as this is the least damaging. However for a more severely damaged tooth you may require a veneers or a crown. The important thing is to diagnose why the chipping has occurred – this may be traumatic but often is due to a bite problem. If this is the case the bite issue needs to be treated otherwise the bonding/ veneer/ crown may chip as well.
