Cosmetic & Orthodontics for Margaret Park Residents
Your front teeth may have flattened along the bottom, or their corners may have rounded away. Worn edges can be rebuilt in some cases, as long as the forces behind the wear are considered.

Wear, clenching and your bite
Worn edges tell a story about your bite.
Length lost from a front tooth can alter how a whole smile reads. Margaret Park residents asking about this often assume they simply need the edges built back up, and sometimes that is close to the truth. Still, new material sits in the same place that wore away before, so how your teeth come together is examined ahead of any cosmetic suggestion.
Bonding can restore a worn corner when the wear is limited and the bite can protect the resin, while veneers can take on uneven front-tooth edges when more shape needs changing. An unstable bite might call for a different plan, possibly including Invisalign or braces to change how teeth meet. Clenching and edge-to-edge contact can overload thin additions, so a guard may come up in your discussion.

Find what is wearing them
Rebuilding comes after looking at contact between teeth, since the same pressure can act on whatever is added.
Match the repair to the wear
A rounded corner and a whole row of flattened edges are different requests, and they rarely share a single answer.
Plan for protection
Ask how the finished edge would be looked after, particularly if you know or suspect that you grind or clench.

Helpful details about cosmetic & orthodontics in Margaret Park.
Ask our teamWhy have my front teeth become shorter?
Many things can wear an edge, and grinding, clenching and the way teeth meet are common suspects. An examination helps separate those causes before you settle on any repair.
Can length be added back to a worn tooth?
Often it can, using composite resin or a veneer, when enamel and bite allow. How far that is sensible depends on how your teeth touch each other.
Will bonding hold up if I grind?
Thin resin additions can be overloaded by clenching or by front teeth meeting edge to edge. That does not rule bonding out, but it is a reason to discuss a protective guard.
What would make porcelain unsuitable for me?
An unstable bite, active decay, gum inflammation or too little healthy enamel can all point to another plan. Your dentist can explain which of those apply to you, if any.
Would straightening help worn teeth?
It might, because orthodontics can change how teeth contact, which restorations alone cannot do. A bite assessment is needed to know whether moving teeth would suit your situation.
Can Margaret Park residents ask about this by phone?
Certainly. Call (204) 338-3003 or use the form on this page, and describe the wear you have noticed. Visits take place at our Winnipeg clinic once a time has been confirmed with you.
