Small chips, real questions
An edge can be smoothed, rebuilt or covered.
A tiny irregularity may only need polishing away, provided enough supported enamel is left. A larger missing corner usually calls for adding something back, and tooth-coloured resin is often the first material discussed. Limited fractures sometimes lead to a conversation about veneers instead.
What looks like a simple nick can also be a crack or a failing filling, so it deserves a proper look before anyone picks a fix. Waterford Green is in Winnipeg, and residents have this examined at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street.

Taking away a little
Contouring can soften a rough corner that catches your lip, though it cannot lengthen the tooth.
Building back with resin
Composite is sculpted directly on the tooth to recreate the lost edge, then shaped and polished.
Asking why it broke
Biting habits and how your teeth contact can explain the chip, and both affect what will hold up afterward.

Helpful details about cosmetic & orthodontics in Waterford Green.
Ask our teamWill a chip get worse if I leave it?
That cannot be judged from a description alone, since the visible nick may or may not involve a crack. An examination shows what is actually going on with the tooth.
Can you just file the sharp bit down?
Sometimes, when the irregularity is tiny and enough enamel stays in place. Enamel never regrows, so removal is kept very small, and a bigger chip generally suits an added material better.
Is freezing necessary to repair a chip with resin?
Frequently it is not, if the resin goes on intact enamel. Local anaesthetic may be sensible when a fracture is sensitive, decay needs removing or the tooth requires preparation.
How closely will the repair match the rest of the tooth?
Shades are chosen and layered to relate to the enamel beside them. Natural teeth have several optical qualities, so expect a close relationship rather than one flat colour.
What might break a bonded edge again?
Nail biting, tearing open packaging and chewing on hard objects are common culprits. Clenching or teeth that meet edge to edge can also overload a thin addition.
My chipped tooth hurts. What now?
Telephone (204) 338-3003 rather than sending the form, so you can talk with someone about the pain and when you could be seen.
