Nobody else may notice it, but your tongue finds it and your eye goes straight to it in photos. A chipped front edge is one of the smaller concerns a veneer may address, and a smaller repair might address it too.
Let's find a time
Minor chips matter mostly because of where they sit. Front teeth form the smile line, so a notch in one edge can throw off the symmetry of the whole row, even when the tooth itself seems healthy. A veneer can rebuild that edge in a thin custom layer, though it is not the automatic choice for such a small change.
If you live in Sinclair Park, which is in Winnipeg, the assessment and any treatment take place at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. Part of that first conversation is simply sizing the problem honestly: is this a job for bonding, or does the edge fit into a broader change you were already considering?

A notch rarely bothers people on its own. What they see is how it interrupts the line beside it.
Direct tooth-coloured repair is a real alternative for selected smaller changes, so it deserves a mention.
A chip caused by heavy biting forces raises different questions than one caused by a single accident.
Both options below replace missing edge with something tooth-coloured. They differ in how much work the tooth goes through and in what they commit you to afterward.
This custom layer covers the visible face of the tooth, so it can change more than just the chipped corner.
Here the tooth-coloured material is applied directly to the tooth, which may suit selected smaller repairs.
Neither path is right for every chip. Examining the tooth, along with your bite, is what settles which one makes sense.
A chip might lead to a short conversation or to a full veneer plan. These stages describe the longer route, for cases where a veneer turns out to be suitable.
Request your visitShow where the chip is and explain when you first spotted it. The tooth, your gums and the way your teeth meet are then examined together.
With the findings in front of you, compare bonding, a veneer or another approach. If decay or an unstable bite turns up, that gets attention first.
Should you choose a veneer, photographs, scans and a shade selection set the direction. You may also see a digital or physical preview of the new edge.
Enamel is conservatively prepared when required and detailed records go toward making the veneer. It is bonded once you and your dentist approve how it fits and looks.
You do not need a dramatic story. Knowing whether it broke on a popcorn kernel, during a fall or for no obvious reason helps your dentist think about what might happen to a repair.
A tooth that has broken and hurts, or that reacts sharply to temperature, is not one to leave for an online request. Phone the clinic instead.
A blue dental chair in a treatment room, and the reception counter.
A rough corner can irritate your lip or tongue, and some people grow self-conscious about it. Both are fair things to bring up, however minor the damage may seem.
Mention any spot where the broken corner catches or rubs against the inside of your mouth.
Nothing is too small to ask about, even if the chip has been there for a very long time.
Raise a hand whenever your mouth needs a short break from staying open during care.
Keeping the new edge intact
A rebuilt edge sits exactly where the last chip happened. It helps to think about what caused the damage and how to keep the same thing from reaching the veneer.
Bite through thread, packaging or fingernails with something else. Hard objects can chip a veneer just as they can chip a natural tooth.
If your teeth get heavy use while you sleep, bring it up. A night guard may be a sensible topic for protecting a thin restoration.
Brush and clean between the teeth as you normally do, because decay and gum changes can still occur where the veneer meets the tooth.
Veneers can chip or come loose over time, and a repair or replacement can sometimes be needed. Contact the clinic if your veneer changes.

Helpful details about dental veneers in Sinclair Park.
Ask our teamSometimes, particularly if the shape or colour of that tooth also bothers you. If the chip is the whole issue, ask whether bonding might achieve what you want with a smaller commitment.
It cannot promise that. A veneer can chip too, especially under heavy contact, grinding or biting on something hard, so the cause of the original damage is part of planning.
Preparation depends on the position and colour of the tooth and on the result being planned. Some enamel removal is often needed for a veneer, though certain cases allow a more conservative approach.
Matching is the purpose of the shade selection and try-in. You can evaluate the veneer against its neighbours before bonding, and you can say what you notice at that stage.
Please telephone the clinic and describe what happened instead of sending the form. Appearance can wait until the health of that tooth has been looked at.
Yes. Fill in the form on this page or call (204) 338-3003 and say which tooth concerns you. The examination would be at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
