It's shaped like a triangle with the point on the bottom like a vampire. He starts middle school in 3 days. Will the dentist be able to fix it in 1 day.?

I knocked half of my one front tooth off at work and was able to get a bonding, A couple of hours in and out, it lasted several years, it would depend I guess on how close the break is to the nerve....they might pull it and put in a post, but that would take more than a day..

A small chip can usually be repaired with a simple filling for less than $200 while a large chip may require a crown and will probably cost less than $700. You probably won't know until you talk to the dentist if it can be fixed in a day.

I had this problem with both my front two teeth and the dentist fixed it straight away, he built it back up with cement like stuff but it wasnt a crown - too expensive. Then my daughter headbutted me accidently and it smashed again so the dentist rebuilt it again. It cost me about £50 each one privately. See if you can get him an emergency appointment tell them the tooth is sensitive and he is in pain.

Repair to the tooth can be started but I don't think it can be completed but it depends greatly on how much tooth has been lost. If you recovered the broken pieces, take them with you if the event that his dentist can still use them. Otherwise, don't worry, repair can still be done. He may get a temporary crown while a permanent crown or overlay is made for him.

Not if you keep reading Yahoo answers. Call the dentist right now! You can usually find places that take emergency appointments. But if it's a baby tooth, he may just opt to pull it.

Yes. I had a chipped tooth and the dentist fixed it in one office visit.

My cousin had this happen. The dentist just glued a fake tooth right to his to make it even. Dont know how but this is what he said.

maybe i think the only way to fix it is to get it pulled because how else will they repair a chipped tooth that's shaped like a triangle.

Yea, that's easy, I've chipped my front tooth several times. Shouldn't cost too much more than a filling or two.
