Cosmetic & Orthodontics for Downtown Winnipeg Residents
Teeth often get used as tools without much thought. Before you invest in cosmetic work, our McPhillips Street clinic can talk about which habits matter and how they could shape your options.

Everyday wear and tear
Your teeth are not scissors, but we understand.
Biting nails, gnawing a pen cap or tearing open a bag puts force on thin tooth edges, and the same goes for any resin or porcelain placed there. These habits do not automatically rule out cosmetic care. They do mean a plan should be honest about where the strain will land.
Downtown Winnipeg residents who recognize themselves here can be assessed at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. Mention your habits even if you find them embarrassing, since a chipped edge may have a cause worth finding before anything gets rebuilt.

Edges take the strain
Thin additions to a biting edge can be overloaded, so the shape must clear or share forces appropriately.
Cause before repair
Working out why a tooth or bonded area chipped comes ahead of adding new material back to it.
Night-time habits count too
Clenching or grinding can stress restorations in a similar way, and a guard is sometimes part of the discussion.

When you contact the clinic, note your main concern. Save the rest of your list of habits, chips and sore spots for the appointment.
- 02
Have edges and contacts checked
The exam covers cracks, existing restorations and how front teeth meet, since a rough edge might be a fracture or a filling problem.

Match the option to your habits
Ask how bonding, reshaping or veneers would each cope with your routine, and what you would need to change or protect.

Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about cosmetic & orthodontics in Downtown Winnipeg.
Ask our teamDo I have to quit biting my nails before getting bonding?
Nail biting can chip resin, so bonded edges fare better if you avoid it altogether. Talk to the dentist about your habit, because it may affect where resin is a sensible choice.
Can pen chewing damage porcelain as well?
Hard objects can strain any front-tooth edge. Porcelain chips may be difficult to mend invisibly and could mean replacing the veneer, so ask whether your bite and habits suit one.
Would smoothing a roughened edge help me stop picking at it?
Contouring can refine a small corner that keeps catching your lip or tongue, assuming there is enough enamel. The dentist first checks whether that roughness is really a crack or a failing filling.
Should I expect resin to chip again if it has already chipped once?
That depends on the reason it failed. Repair is often possible when the remaining resin and tooth are sound, but the underlying cause, whether a habit or a bite contact, should be addressed too.
Are aligners safe to pop out in a hurry and pocket?
A pocket or napkin is exactly where trays get damaged or lost, so use the case whenever they are out. Contact the clinic if one breaks, instead of skipping ahead in your series.
Will a night guard protect my teeth from these habits?
A guard may be discussed for clenching or grinding that overloads thin additions. It would not address daytime habits such as chewing pens, so that part still comes down to you.
How would a Downtown Winnipeg resident arrange an exam of a chipped edge?
Call (204) 338-3003 if the tooth is sore or the break feels urgent. For a cosmetic question, the form on this page also works, and the clinic will reply about a time.
