Some chips are only a cosmetic nuisance. Others make a tooth sensitive, which changes how it’s approached. St. Vital residents with a tender chipped tooth can read what that sensitivity may mean for bonding.
Let's find a time
A rough corner that doesn’t hurt is often a straightforward candidate for added resin. A chip that stings with cold air, sweet food or biting pressure suggests the fracture may involve more than the outer enamel. The dentist needs to find out why it’s sensitive before deciding whether bonding, a different restoration or other care comes first.
St. Vital is in Winnipeg, and a resident in this situation would be assessed at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. If the tooth is very painful, swelling or worsening quickly, phone the clinic rather than sending the online form.

Why a chip is sensitive matters as much as how it looks, so it’s assessed before repair.
A sensitive fracture is one of the situations where local anaesthetic can be appropriate.
Severe pain or a rapidly changing tooth is something to call about, not wait on a form for.
Both kinds of chip may end up bonded, but the route there can differ. Here is how the two situations generally compare.
When the break is confined and the tooth feels normal, the focus is usually on restoring the edge.
Sensitivity prompts a closer look at the fracture before cosmetic decisions are made.
Bonding suits limited, focused repairs. A larger structural problem may need a broader restorative plan, which the dentist can explain once the tooth is examined.
Once the dentist is satisfied the tooth can take resin, the repair is carried out directly, typically in four stages.
Request your visitColour is chosen at the outset, because a tooth that dries during treatment temporarily looks lighter.
The chipped area is conditioned and isolated so adhesive can attach the new resin firmly.
Resin is added in controlled layers to give back the edge length, corner and contour.
You close and move your jaw while contacts are adjusted, then the surface is textured and polished.
When you request a visit, a short description of what sets the tooth off gives the clinic useful context. Be as specific as you can.
If the sensitivity becomes severe or constant, call (204) 338-3003 rather than waiting on a form request.
A light blue treatment chair, and the reception counter with a glass partition.
A sensitive tooth can make the idea of treatment feel worse than it is. Tell the dentist what you’re feeling, and ask whether freezing would be appropriate for your repair.
Local anaesthetic may make sense when the broken area reacts to touch or temperature.
If decay is found and removed during the repair, freezing may also be used.
Resin placed on intact enamel often doesn’t need anaesthetic at all.
Once it’s repaired
A bonded repair can chip again if it’s overloaded. Its lifespan varies with the tooth’s position, your bite, your habits and the size of the repair.
Avoid using the repaired tooth on nails, packaging or very hard items.
If the tooth keeps reacting after the repair, let the clinic know so it can be checked.
Clenching can overload a thin edge, and a guard may be discussed if that’s an issue for you.
Regular brushing and cleaning between teeth protect the enamel around the margins of the repair.

Not necessarily. It means the cause should be examined first. Bonding may still be suitable, or another restoration may be recommended.
Often not when resin is added to intact enamel. Local anaesthetic may be appropriate if the fracture is sensitive, decay is removed or the tooth needs preparation.
Bonding is most predictable for limited changes. A larger structural concern may need a different approach, which the dentist can discuss after an exam.
Causes range from an accident to bite forces or habits. Assessing the cause helps the dentist decide how to restore the tooth and protect it afterwards.
Depending on what the exam finds, these treatments may come into the conversation alongside or instead of bonding.
