Dentistry 
At Evolve Dentistry, we understand that a chipped tooth can be a distressing experience. Whether it’s due to an accident, biting down on something hard, or just everyday wear and tear, a chipped tooth not only affects your appearance but can also lead to discomfort and further dental issues. Fortunately, there are several effective ways to repair a chipped tooth, restoring both function and aesthetics. Here’s your comprehensive guide on how to fix a chipped tooth.
Assess the Damage
The first thing to do if you chip a tooth is to assess the extent of the damage. Chipped teeth can range from minor enamel fractures to more severe breaks involving the dentin or pulp. If the chip is minor, you might only need a simple cosmetic fix. However, more extensive damage might require a more involved procedure.
Visit Evolve Dentistry
Scheduling an appointment with Evolve Dentistry as soon as possible is crucial. During your visit, our experienced dental professionals will evaluate the damage and discuss the best treatment options. Here are some common methods we use to fix chipped teeth:
For minor chips, dental bonding is a quick and effective solution. Our dentist will apply a tooth-colored resin to the chipped area, shape it to match the natural contours of your tooth, and harden it with a special light. This procedure is typically completed in one visit and is ideal for small to moderate chips.
For larger chips or teeth that have significant cosmetic damage, veneers might be the best option. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth, providing a natural and durable restoration. This treatment usually requires two visits—one for taking impressions and another for placing the veneers.
If the chip is extensive or the tooth is weakened, a crown might be necessary. A crown is a cap that covers the entire tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. At Evolve, we offer same day Crowns, so you may be able to complete treatment in one, pain free appointment.
In cases where the chip exposes the tooth’s pulp (the innermost part containing nerves and blood vessels), a root canal might be required. This treatment involves removing the damaged pulp, cleaning and sealing the root canals, and covering the tooth with a crown to prevent further damage and infection.
Preventing Future Chips
While accidents happen, there are steps you can take to minimise the risk of chipping your teeth:
– Avoid hard foods: be cautious with hard sweets, ice, and other tough foods.
– Wear a mouthguard: if you play sports or grind your teeth at night, a custom-fitted mouthguard can provide essential protection.
– Maintain good oral hygiene: strong, healthy teeth are less prone to chipping. Brush and floss regularly and visit us for your healthy mouth reviews.
A chipped tooth doesn’t have to mean the end of your beautiful smile. At Evolve Dentistry, we offer a range of solutions to restore your tooth and give you back your confidence. If you’ve chipped a tooth, don’t wait—contact us today to schedule an appointment and take the first step towards a healthy, beautiful smile.

If you’re considering replacing an amalgam filling, you may have come across the term SMART.
SMART stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique. It is a protocol designed to reduce exposure to mercury vapour and particles while an amalgam filling is being removed.
At Evolve, SMART amalgam removal is available for adults who have made an informed decision to replace their amalgam fillings.
Importantly, we don’t suggest that everyone should have their amalgam fillings removed, and we don’t make claims that removing them will improve your general health.
Swipe through for a simple explanation of what the SMART approach involves.

If you’ve never visited Evolve before, here’s a little look around.
We know that walking into a new dental practice can feel daunting, particularly if it’s been a while since your last appointment.
We’ve designed Evolve to feel calm, welcoming and a little different from what you might expect from a dental practice.
But the most important part isn’t the building. It’s how you’re made to feel when you’re here.
Come in, make yourself comfortable in our patient lounge and let us look after you.

Gum disease can be surprisingly easy to overlook.
Bleeding when you brush, red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath or gums that seem to be receding are all things worth paying attention to.
The important thing is not to wait until something hurts. Gum disease can develop without causing pain, which is one reason regular dental and hygiene appointments matter.
In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the signs to look out for.
If you’ve noticed a change in your gums, mention it at your next appointment or get in touch with the team.

🦷 Day one, first clinic!
Carol has sent us the first photos from her trip — and what a first day it’s been!
Working alongside five other dentists, the team saw an incredible 197 patients in just one day. ❤️
In Carol’s words:
“I’ve taken out more teeth today than I have in the past year!”
A very different day in dentistry from the ones Carol is used to back home at Evolve, and a reminder of just how much need there is for the care the team is providing.
We’re so proud of her — and we’ll be sharing more updates and photos from Carol’s trip as they come in. 🌍🦷

Ever run your tongue over your teeth and wonder why they suddenly feel rough?
There are a few possible reasons, from plaque build-up to changes in the surface of a tooth.
In this short video, Yasmin explains some of the common causes and when it’s worth mentioning it to your dentist.
Noticing small changes in your mouth is useful. You don’t need to diagnose them yourself, but do tell us if something feels different.
