Decades of chewing can round off corners and leave edges looking uneven. For Parkview Pointe residents whose smiles have changed with time, this page looks at where resin might help and where it may not.
Let's find a time
Your teeth have done a great deal of work, and it’s normal for that to show. Small chips, rounded corners, and uneven lengths can gather slowly, until one day you notice them in a photo. Residents of Parkview Pointe are seen for this at Winnipeg North Dental, on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Composite resin can sometimes rebuild a worn corner or a shortened edge conservatively. Wear also raises questions about why it happened, how your teeth meet, and what restorations you already have, so the examination considers the whole picture before focusing on any single tooth.

What counts is the condition of the tooth, the enamel, and your bite, not your date of birth.
Earlier dental work and current medications both help your dentist understand what’s going on in your mouth.
Rebuilding a little of a corner may be all that’s needed for a tooth to look more like itself.
Long-serving teeth often have several things going on together. It helps to separate the concerns resin can address from those calling for a different approach.
Limited, well-supported changes offer the most predictable opportunities for composite on a mature tooth.
Some findings shift the plan, because added resin depends on what’s underneath it and on the forces acting on it.
Resin relies on healthy enamel and a protective bite. If those aren’t present, your dentist can describe other options.
An assessment always comes first. If a limited repair turns out to be suitable, then a single appointment is often enough to complete it.
Request your visitGo over health conditions and medications, plus any restorations you remember having. It’s fine if the details are hazy.
Your dentist considers how the edges have changed and how your teeth now meet, as this determines whether resin could hold up.
Matching comes first, then conditioning and isolating the enamel. Layers of composite restore the agreed contour and are hardened by light.
Contacts are tested and refined so the change feels comfortable when you close. Then the surface is textured and polished.
After many years, a dental and medical history can get long. Writing some of it down before you arrive saves you from trying to recall everything while sitting in the chair.
Mention anything affecting your comfort in a dental chair, such as a sore neck or back, so that you can discuss it together.

Keeping your mouth open for a while isn’t always easy, and that’s worth saying out loud. Tell whoever is treating you if you’d like a brief pause or need your position adjusted.
Tell the dentist which areas react to cold or touch, since that’s useful information for planning your care.
Resin added to intact enamel may not need it. Your medications and specific treatment are worth discussing beforehand.
If an explanation went by too fast or you couldn’t quite hear it, you’re welcome to ask again.
Protecting what you’ve kept
Resin wears, stains, and can chip, as your natural teeth have done. Your bite, its position, its size, and day-to-day care all influence how well it holds up.
The enamel next to the resin remains natural tooth. Regular brushing and between-tooth cleaning are still what protect it.
If grinding contributed to your wear, it can affect new resin too. Your dentist may bring up a guard.
A rough patch might be something refinishing can improve, and an intact tooth beneath chipped resin may allow repair.
If a bonded area changes or feels sharp, phone the clinic to talk about it.

Ask our teamPhone (204) 338-3003 or use the form on this page to ask for an assessment at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6. Mention that wear is your main concern when you do.
Age itself doesn’t answer that. Suitability rests on your enamel, your bite, the size of the change, and your overall dental health, all of which the dentist can check.
Share them regardless. Your dentist needs an accurate picture of your health history, particularly if freezing or other treatment becomes part of the plan.
It may help rebuild modest lost length when your bite allows. Added length near heavy contacts can chip, so how far to go is a decision for after the examination.
Resin handles a small, localized patch, not general colour change. If you’re after a lighter shade overall, ask about whitening first, because composite won’t lighten once it’s placed.
Bring it up at your assessment. Your dentist has to see how those restorations sit, how they contact your bite, and how the colours relate before advising you.
Some worn or heavily restored teeth need more than a resin addition. These pages explain treatments that may come up in your assessment.
