A small break on a front tooth can catch your eye every time you look in the mirror. Find out whether tooth-coloured resin could rebuild it, with care at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
Maybe it was a fork, a fall, or nothing you can even remember. However the corner of your tooth went missing, the question now is simple: can it be put back without a bigger procedure? For a small chip or worn edge, composite resin is often worth considering.
The resin is added straight onto the tooth and sculpted to recreate the lost shape, so many modest repairs need no laboratory work and little or no removal of enamel. Whichever part of Winnipeg you call home, an examination at our McPhillips Street clinic shows whether your chip suits this approach.

Rebuilding an edge with resin works around the healthy tooth surface that surrounds the break.
Shades are chosen in relation to the enamel beside the chip, then layered to sit naturally against it.
Many small repairs can be done in one appointment, once the dentist has confirmed bonding fits.
Chips vary more than they appear to in the mirror. The size of the break, the health of the enamel, and the way your teeth meet all affect the recommendation.
Resin tends to behave most predictably when the missing piece is modest and the surrounding tooth is in good condition.
A larger structural problem can ask more of direct resin than it can comfortably deliver, so another restoration may be raised instead.
Photos and descriptions can’t settle this. Suitability comes down to an in-person assessment with the dentist.
Nothing here is sent away to be made. The restoration takes shape directly on your tooth, one stage after another.
Request your visitThe dentist examines the chipped tooth and how it meets the opposite teeth, then explains whether bonding is sensible for this particular damage.
Colour selection comes early, since a tooth that dries out during treatment looks lighter than it really is.
With the enamel conditioned and isolated, adhesive joins resin to tooth. Thin layers then recreate the missing corner, and a curing light hardens the material.
Your bite is checked for comfort, the surface texture is adjusted to echo the neighbouring enamel, and a final polish smooths the margins.
Knowing what caused the chip helps, because a tooth damaged by a one-off accident and a tooth worn by habit can need different thinking. Even a rough memory of when you noticed it is useful.
If the tooth is painful or the break looks more serious than a small chip, phone the clinic instead of sending the form.
Where your visit to McPhillips Street begins.
Having a tooth worked on can feel like a bigger deal than the repair itself. It’s fine to want each part explained first, and to say what is bothering you about that tooth.
Resin placed on intact enamel often needs none, but a sensitive fracture may be a reason to use local anaesthetic.
Show the dentist what bothers you most about the edge, so the conversation starts from your own concern.
When the new edge is being checked, mention anything that feels high or strange as your teeth come together.
Once the chip is gone
Composite is repairable, though not indestructible. It can chip, stain, roughen, or wear, and how long it serves depends on where it sits, its size, your bite, your habits, and upkeep.
Tearing open packages, biting your nails, or crunching on hard objects puts direct stress on a repaired edge.
Regular brushing and cleaning between teeth protect the natural tooth around the resin, so no special routine is needed.
If the surface feels rough or picks up stain, professional refinishing may help before replacing it is ever considered.

It can be. An exam shows how much of the tooth is affected and why the break happened, which matters whether or not you choose a repair. If pain does develop, call the clinic rather than waiting on a form.
The aim is a close relationship with the surrounding enamel. Natural teeth have several optical qualities rather than one flat colour, which is why the resin is selected and layered with care.
Bonded chips don’t come with a set lifespan. Location on the tooth, the size of the repair, bite forces, habits, and maintenance all influence how long the resin keeps serving you.
A repair is often possible when the remaining resin and tooth are sound. Before more material goes on, though, the reason for the new chip deserves a look.
Not always. Local anaesthetic may be appropriate if the fracture is sensitive, decay needs removing, or the tooth requires preparation; simple additions to intact enamel often go ahead without it.
Should the examination point away from resin, these pages explain alternatives that may come up in your conversation with the dentist.
