One moment it was part of your smile, and now a thin shell of porcelain is sitting in your palm. Hold on to it, leave the glue in the drawer and phone our McPhillips Street clinic about what comes next.
Let's find a time
Losing a veneer tends to feel more alarming than it looks to anyone else. Still, the tooth underneath may be sharp, sensitive or simply unprotected, and that is why it deserves a call. If you live in St. Boniface and have just found yourself with a loose shell or a jagged corner, this page walks through the sensible first moves.
Winnipeg North Dental treats these concerns at its clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg. The dentist’s first job is to examine the underlying tooth, because a veneer may have failed for a reason that is not visible from the front. Whether it can be reattached, or whether something else is called for, gets decided after that look.

Even a veneer in two pieces is worth carrying in a small, clean container.
Household glue has no place on a tooth or on the back of dental work.
Sensitivity, roughness or pain on that tooth gives the clinic something useful to weigh.
A veneer covers only the front surface, so its loss can tell a dentist something about what has been happening behind it. The appointment looks at both parts of the picture.
A careful look, along with X-rays where they are warranted, helps answer several things at once.
Nothing on this list is promised in advance, since each option hinges on what the dentist actually finds.
A blow hard enough to knock a veneer off can sometimes do much more. Call 911 or head for emergency medical care if there is a serious facial injury, bleeding you cannot control, trouble breathing or swallowing, severe swelling of the face, or any loss of consciousness.
Every mouth differs, and these stages bend to your symptoms. Think of them as a general outline, not a fixed script for the day.
Request your visitOn the phone, say which tooth is involved, whether anything struck it and whether you still have the veneer. Those answers shape how soon you ought to be assessed.
When you arrive, the dentist goes over your symptoms and whatever you know about when the work was placed, even if that is only a rough guess.
The exposed tooth is inspected, and imaging is added if it would clarify anything. Discomfort or a rough surface can be addressed at this point.
You hear what was found and which realistic choices exist. If the final repair cannot happen at that appointment, a further visit is arranged.
Bite with the other side for now and give sticky or hard foods a miss. Warm salt water can be used as a gentle rinse if the area feels irritated.
Tempted by a drugstore repair kit? Ask the clinic about it first, since the tooth has not yet been examined.
A consultation room desk and waiting-area seating at the clinic.
A gap in a front tooth can make you want to cover your mouth or cancel your plans. Go ahead and tell the dentist that. Appearance is a legitimate part of the talk about what to do next, alongside the health of the tooth.
Say whether sensitivity, a sharp edge or your appearance is troubling you most.
If air or cold sets the bare tooth off, mention that before the exam begins.
A mirror can help you follow along while the options for that tooth are explained.
Past the first appointment
Whatever was done to protect the tooth may be only one part of the plan. Knowing which parts are temporary helps you take care of it properly.
Ask which parts of the repair are meant to last and which are not.
A replacement or other restoration could call for its own appointment later on.
Fresh pain, swelling or another loose piece is a reason to pick up the phone.
Unsure about something you were told, or how the tooth is meant to feel? Ring the clinic at (204) 338-3003 and ask.

Helpful details about emergency dentistry in St. Boniface.
Ask our teamSometimes that may be possible, and sometimes not. It depends on the condition of both the shell and the tooth beneath it, which is why an examination comes first. Bringing the piece along lets the dentist consider it.
Yes, a call is sensible even without pain. An uncovered tooth may be vulnerable or rough, and a brief conversation lets the clinic judge how quickly it ought to be seen.
Leave it be rather than picking or pulling at it, and go easy when you bite on that side. Then phone and describe where the crack is and whether any corner feels sharp.
It does not stop you from calling. Share whatever you remember about the original work, including an approximate date. Having no paperwork should not keep you from getting the tooth assessed.
Quite possibly, and that is one reason it gets examined. Decay or a fracture may be involved, or the bond may have failed for another reason. X-rays can be added where they would help.
Ring (204) 338-3003 and explain what came off and what you are feeling. The appointment itself takes place at the McPhillips Street clinic, and the team’s questions help establish how urgent your situation is.
The dentist’s findings decide what suits your tooth. These general pages can give you some background before that discussion.
