Back of the mouth:

• Option 1: Sometimes a smaller chip in a back tooth can accept tooth colored filling.
• Option 2: When the chip or break is large and it involves a cusp of a tooth, it needs to get a porcelain restoration .
• In many cases the tooth can be saved or restored through procedures such as veneers or a root canal treatment.
• If extensive damage has occurred your dentist may recommend extracting the tooth, but this is only done in extreme circumstances.
