Rec-league games, gym sessions, and backyard rough-housing can all leave a tooth with a nick. If you’re in Highland Pointe and an active life has marked your smile, here is how resin repair fits in.
Let's find a time
A front tooth can lose a small corner in a moment, and for many people that repair is the whole concern. For someone from Highland Pointe, an area of Winnipeg, assessment and treatment take place at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street.
Composite resin can rebuild a modest chip while preserving the enamel around it. A knock can also do more than the visible damage suggests, so the dentist examines the tooth before planning a cosmetic fix. Anything painful, or a heavy blow to the mouth, is a reason to phone rather than send a form.

Resin suits a limited piece of missing edge better than a large fracture with little tooth left.
After a knock, the examination looks beyond appearance to the condition of the injured tooth.
Ask whether a protective guard makes sense, given your activities and the new resin edge.
A chip’s size is only part of the picture. Before any resin goes on, your dentist wants to understand what happened to the tooth and how it meets the others.
An examination considers what remains of the tooth and whether a repair could be expected to stay in place.
Resin is sculpted right on the tooth, with no restoration sent out to a laboratory for most modest repairs.
A larger or structural break might call for another restoration. That decision follows the examination.
Many small repairs are possible in a single appointment once the tooth has been assessed, though a more complicated injury may change the plan.
Request your visitHow the tooth was hit, when it happened, and anything you’ve felt since all help the dentist decide what to examine.
The fractured area is examined along with your bite. If it’s sensitive, local anaesthetic may be suggested for your comfort.
With shades picked and the enamel conditioned and isolated, composite goes on in controlled layers to recreate the planned length.
Contacts are tested against the opposing teeth, since a new edge has to work with your bite. Texture and polish come last.
Even a quick note about the injury helps. Try to remember roughly when it occurred and whether the tooth has felt any different since then.
Sharp pain, swelling, or a tooth that feels loose isn’t something to raise through a web form. Phone the clinic instead.
A white table and office chairs in the consultation room.
It’s natural to guard a tooth that has just been hit. Say where it feels tender, and let the person treating you know if something becomes uncomfortable during the visit.
Your description of what hurts, and when, guides how the area is approached during the examination.
It’s often skipped for intact enamel, but a sensitive fracture is one situation where it could be appropriate.
Knowing what comes next can make a freshly injured tooth feel less worrying while it’s being worked on.
Getting back to it
Resin can be mended, but it isn’t indestructible. Composite can chip, stain, roughen, or wear, depending partly on your habits and where it sits in your bite.
Tell your dentist what you play so you can talk over what could help protect that area in future.
If the injured tooth starts to ache or feel different at any point, call the clinic and explain what you’ve noticed.
Fresh resin can often be added if what remains is sound, once the reason for the second chip has been looked at.
Another knock to the same tooth? The clinic would want to hear about it by phone.

Ask our teamIf it isn’t urgent, use the form on this page to request an assessment at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6. Should the tooth hurt or the injury seem serious, phone (204) 338-3003 and describe it.
Bring up the fragment when you call the clinic, and ask what to do with it. Bonding itself doesn’t rely on having it, because the missing corner is rebuilt in resin.
It’s possible, which is one reason a knock deserves an examination even when the visible change is modest. Mention any sensitivity or tenderness, as that helps show what should be checked.
Ask your dentist. Whether a guard is sensible depends on your activity and your mouth, and it’s a good thing to discuss once your repair has been planned.
Put that question to the dentist at your appointment, because the answer depends on the injury and on what was done to repair it.
Don’t count on that. A thin resin edge can chip under force, and how long it serves depends on its size, position, your bite, and your habits.
Injuries don’t always fit a simple chip repair. Read about these treatments if your dentist brings them up or you’d like some background.
