When the tooth is one people see as you talk, appearance is bound to be on your mind. Elmwood residents can have a visible repair assessed on McPhillips Street.
Let's find a time
Front teeth get cavities too, often along the sides where neighbouring teeth touch. So a repair here brings a worry that one on a molar doesn’t: will someone be able to spot it when you laugh or speak?
At Winnipeg North Dental, tooth-coloured composite is used where appropriate, because it can be selected and layered to blend with surrounding enamel. A front tooth has its own demands, including its thin biting edge. We’ll talk about what your particular tooth allows and how you can expect it to look.
Explore dental fillings
The colour is chosen with your own tooth as the reference.
Building up material in stages helps it sit naturally beside the surrounding enamel.
A front tooth meets others too, so the shape has to work as well as look right.
With a visible tooth, a good result has two parts. It should sit comfortably in your smile and also suit the job that tooth does when you bite.
These details help decide how closely a front-tooth repair may blend in. Exact matching can’t be promised.
Even though it’s thinner than a molar, this tooth still bites into food and meets the teeth opposite.
Tell us if appearance is your main concern. If a direct filling isn’t likely to meet that concern, or the tooth needs more support, another restoration can be discussed.
We start by confirming the tooth and reviewing the plan with you. Details differ by tooth and material, though these four stages cover most direct fillings.
Request your visitWhen local anesthetic suits the situation, it’s placed first. The working area is then kept clean and free of moisture.
Decayed or weakened structure is taken away. On a slim front tooth, keeping healthy structure wherever possible is especially important.
Selected composite goes on in thin, controlled layers, each one hardened. Its outline is recreated to follow the shape of the tooth.
A polish gives the repair a smooth surface, and we look at how your teeth come together. High or uneven spots can be refined.
Tell us what you hope to see in the mirror. Saying so ahead of time lets us talk about whether that’s realistic for this tooth, rather than leaving it until after the repair.
Planning any whitening? Bring it up beforehand, so it can be part of the conversation about shade and timing.

Caring about a tooth everyone can see isn’t vanity. If you’re feeling self-conscious, let us know. We’d be glad to explain what can be done and how things are looking along the way.
You’re welcome to ask whether you can see the tooth before the final polish.
Freezing in this area can change how your lip feels until sensation returns.
Any discomfort during treatment is something we want to hear about, so we can reassess.
Living with the repair
You’ll receive instructions for your own treatment. Having a filling near the front mostly means treating the edge sensibly and mentioning anything that looks or feels different.
A frozen lip is very easy to bite without noticing. Save chewing for later, and take care with hot drinks, since they’re harder to judge.
If this tooth seems to touch ahead of its neighbours, or biting feels off, get in touch. A small adjustment may be possible.
Brush as usual and clean between those front teeth. At recommended examinations, the restoration can be checked along with the tooth around it.
Fleeting sensitivity to temperature or pressure can occur and ought to improve. Call if it’s getting worse or lingering.

Helpful details about dental fillings in Elmwood.
Ask our teamOften it can, when enough healthy tooth remains and the damage suits a direct restoration. Composite is commonly used because it can be shaded and layered. An examination confirms whether that applies here.
Their open faces are easy to reach, but the sides where they touch are harder to clean. Decay can begin in those contact areas without being obvious from the front.
Composite can change somewhat over time, and so can natural teeth. If you notice a difference that bothers you, raise it at an examination so the options and the trade-offs can be explained.
It’s a part of the tooth that takes direct contact with the opposite teeth, so bite forces are weighed when a repair there is planned. Ask whether your tooth’s damage reaches that edge.
Possibly. The amount of damage and how much tooth remains guide that conversation, and bonding, a veneer or a crown may come up. Ask how each would apply to your tooth.
Send the form here or call (204) 338-3003, and note that it’s a front tooth. You’d be seen at 2358 McPhillips Street, once the clinic has followed up to arrange the time.
