Neither you nor your mirror can see the side of a tooth where it meets its neighbour. If that’s where decay turned up, Waterford Green residents can find out what repair involves at our Winnipeg clinic on McPhillips Street.
Let's find a time
Two teeth standing side by side leave a narrow surface that a toothbrush barely touches. Decay that starts there can go unnoticed for some time, because nothing shows from the front and nothing has to hurt. That’s why hearing about one can come as a surprise.
Winnipeg North Dental uses tooth-coloured materials when they suit the tooth and the type of repair. You’ll hear what the examination and records showed, why a filling is being suggested, and which other options deserve a thought before you make up your mind.
Explore dental fillings
Suitable X-rays can reveal changes on surfaces hidden from direct view.
Only the damaged part is meant to go, with sound tooth kept wherever possible.
The rebuilt side is contoured so the gap can still be cleaned properly.
A side-of-the-tooth repair still follows the usual logic: take out what’s damaged, keep what’s healthy, rebuild what’s gone. Its position does raise a few questions of its own, though.
Being hidden is the main issue here. Plenty of people feel nothing at all, even once a dentist has spotted a change.
Composite resin bonds to the prepared surface and is built up gradually. Getting the shape right on that side matters as much as filling the space.
If the damage turns out to be larger than a direct repair can reasonably support, an inlay, onlay or crown may be discussed instead. Your assessment settles that.
No two teeth take precisely the same path, and the material matters too. Still, a direct repair in this position tends to pass through these four stages.
Request your visitAsk to be shown where the concern sits on your record. We confirm which tooth is being restored and go over the plan with you first.
Should your tooth need freezing, that happens now. Such a tight space also takes some care to keep clean and dry while the work goes on.
Decayed structure comes out, while healthy enamel is left alone as far as possible. Tooth-coloured layers then restore the missing side.
After shaping and polishing, we look at how your upper and lower teeth come together. A spot that seems high can be adjusted right then.
You don’t have to diagnose anything. It simply helps to pay attention to that part of your mouth for a few days, so that you can describe it when you’re asked.
Costs depend on the tooth and the repair, so ask for an estimate. Benefit plans and the Canadian Dental Care Plan differ on restorative work and what you’d pay yourself.
A sink, wood-toned cabinets and a light blue chair in a room at our clinic.
Being told about a problem you never felt can leave you doubtful or a bit deflated. Ask to go through it again, as slowly as you need, until the reason for treatment makes sense.
Having the affected surface identified on your record may make the finding feel more real.
With the tooth numbed, you may notice vibration or pushing rather than sharp pain.
If something bothers you partway through, speak up so that we can stop and look at your comfort.
That gap, from now on
Part of the point of careful shaping is to let you look after the area yourself. A handful of ordinary habits, along with your regular visits, will do most of that work.
Save chewing for when feeling has come back, as a numb cheek or tongue is easy to bite. Take hot drinks gently in the meantime.
Go back to cleaning that gap once your instructions allow it. A floss that catches on the new filling is worth telling us about.
Recommended examinations let your dentist watch both the restoration and the tooth beside it for any change over time.
A brief reaction to temperature or pressure can occur and ought to ease. Call us if your bite feels high or chewing stays uncomfortable.

Helpful details about dental fillings in Waterford Green.
Ask our teamThe surfaces where teeth touch sit out of sight and are awkward to clean with a brush alone. Decay may get going there without any outward sign, which is one reason examinations and appropriate X-rays are useful.
The aim is to work on the damaged tooth and preserve healthy structure around it. If the tooth next door has a concern of its own, your dentist would tell you and explain what they found.
Cleaning between teeth is part of good care, yet decay has more than one contributing factor, and there’s rarely a single simple answer. Ask which habits are most worth your attention from here.
Follow what you’re told after treatment. Fillings are contoured so that the area can be cleaned, so if floss starts to tear or catch on that spot, let the clinic know.
The full extent can influence what the tooth needs. Your dentist would explain any change of direction, including whether a filling still offers enough support or a larger restoration should be considered.
