I want to get this fixed,but I also want my teeth cleaned and whitened...Should I get the chip fixed first or after?.........How much does all of this cost?

your steps should be in this order:
1) get teeth cleaned
2) whiten teeth
3) get chip fixed.
When a dentist goes to fix a chip, they have to pick a color of a material to match. And if you don't whiten first, they will have trouble matching it to the correct shade.
A previous answer was correct in that it can be VERY difficult to get small pieces of the filling material to stick for long period of time.

a small chip is very hard to fix, the resin often will not stay on. If its very noticeable, you may want to get a cap on the tooth, otherwise let it be. You will want to get it fixed after a whitening procedure is done, since the resin will be mixed to match the shade of you teeth. The prices vary form dentist to dentist, so make some calls.
