One bite on something hard and now a corner’s missing. If the tooth hurts or the damage looks significant, please call the clinic. If it’s only a rough little notch, read on for how repair may work.
Let's find a time
Running your tongue over a tooth and finding a sharp new edge is unsettling, even when it’s tiny. The first question isn’t really about appearance. What you need to find out is whether the break has affected more than the surface, and that takes an examination.
Once the tooth has been assessed, composite may be an option for rebuilding a small chipped section. Sensitive fractures and larger breaks can call for a different plan, including local anaesthetic or another type of restoration. All of this is handled at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.

The appointment form isn’t the route for pain or serious damage. Calling lets the team advise you directly.
A chip can look minor from the outside, so the tooth needs examining before resin is put on it.
When the fracture is limited and the surrounding tooth is sound, bonding could be one way to restore the edge.
You can’t diagnose a fracture yourself, and you’re not expected to. These groupings are only meant to help you decide how to get in touch with the clinic.
Symptoms or sizeable damage are reasons to speak with someone, rather than sending a form and waiting for a reply.
A painless nick is often less pressing, although it’s still worth having examined so that you know where things stand.
If you’re not sure which group fits you, or symptoms change, call (204) 338-3003. The clinic’s availability can be confirmed at that point.
When a repair with composite does turn out to be appropriate, the appointment tends to follow this order. The findings could change any part of it.
Request your visitThe dentist looks at the fracture, the rest of the tooth and how your bite meets it. Other records may be discussed if they’re needed to understand the damage.
Knowing what broke the tooth matters, because whatever force did it might also threaten a new repair. Freezing is discussed if the area is sensitive.
Matched shades go onto conditioned enamel in small increments. Light-curing hardens the material as the lost shape gets rebuilt.
Your teeth are closed together to find any heavy contact on the repair. The new surface and margins then get smoothed and polished.
When you speak to the clinic, a few simple facts help them understand your situation. There’s no need to work out a treatment plan. Just describe how the break happened and how the tooth feels now.
Tell the clinic about any change in your symptoms while you’re waiting for your appointment.

A broken tooth tends to arrive at the least convenient moment, and it’s hard not to imagine the worst. Taking things one step at a time helps, and the first step is simply getting the tooth looked at.
There’s no need to feel embarrassed by how the tooth broke. Whatever you were biting, it’s useful to hear.
If you’re concerned about the look of the tooth in the meantime, you’re welcome to raise that when you speak with staff.
A sensitive break may mean local anaesthetic is appropriate, so ask if you’re anxious about the tooth being touched.
After the repair
A resin edge can do its job well, but it isn’t as tough as it may feel. If a particular activity or item caused the original break, that’s the first thing to think about changing.
If packaging, ice or a similar object did the damage, it’s worth finding another way so the mended edge isn’t tested the same way.
A repair restores shape, but a tooth that begins aching later on should still be reported to the clinic by phone.
Your regular examination gives the dentist a chance to check on the repair along with the tooth beneath it.

Ask our teamIf there’s pain or sizeable damage, please call (204) 338-3003 and explain what happened. Any care happens at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg. The form is more suitable for a small chip without symptoms.
Direct bonding can often be finished within one visit, but that doesn’t mean it’ll apply to yours. The extent of the fracture and the availability of appointment time both matter, so ask when you speak with the clinic.
A painless chip may not be pressing, but it’s still sensible to have it examined. Only the dentist can determine whether it’s cosmetic or involves anything deeper.
It suits small chips and worn corners most predictably. Bigger structural damage may call for a different restoration, such as a crown, depending on what remains of the tooth.
Not always, but a sensitive fracture may make local anaesthetic appropriate. The dentist can talk it through with you once the tooth has been examined.
Let the clinic know by phone and describe it. Please don’t try to file or smooth the edge yourself, as it’s difficult to see what’s happening to the tooth.
A fracture sometimes calls for more than composite. These pages explain the urgent and restorative care that could come up after your examination.
