Finding a rough corner on a crown, or a sliver of it on your plate, is unsettling. Highland Pointe residents can call our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg to ask how to have it looked at.
Let's find a time
A chip doesn’t tell you much on its own. It may turn out to need a small adjustment, a repair or a replacement, and the choice rests on the condition of the restoration and of the tissues around it. That’s why an assessment comes before any fix.
If you live in Highland Pointe, in Winnipeg, the assessment would happen at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. Until then, the most useful things you can do are simple: keep whatever has come off, store it safely, and don’t try to stick it back.

Even a tiny flake can offer useful information, and it could be needed for the repair.
Household adhesive can harm the material, change the fit and make a proper repair harder.
Describe what happened, and call rather than sending the form if it seems urgent.
It’s hard to tell by looking in a mirror which of these applies. Knowing what the options mean can make your dentist’s explanation easier to follow.
A chipped piece may be handled in more than one way, depending on what the examination finds.
A restoration works with what surrounds it, so attention doesn’t stop at the damaged spot.
Please don’t assume a chip means starting over, or that it can be sorted out in one visit. Neither can be known ahead of the assessment.
This is a general picture of how a chipped restoration may be handled. The steps depend on the damage and on what the piece is.
Request your visitSay which piece is affected, when you noticed it, and whether you’ve kept any fragments. The clinic can talk through arranging a visit.
Bring the restoration, if it has come off, and every fragment you saved. Your dentist looks over those pieces along with the tissues underneath.
You’ll learn whether adjusting, repairing or replacing seems appropriate. It’s a good moment to ask why, and what each route would involve.
If new work is required, records are gathered and the piece is produced from them. Whatever comes back gets checked for bite, contact, comfort and looks.
You don’t need to know what caused the chip. A few details and the saved pieces give your dentist something to work with.
When you book, ask about appointment length and estimated costs. Any figure will probably depend on what the assessment finds, so it may need revisiting.
A white front counter with flowers, and a desk with chairs by a bright window.
Dental work is an investment of time and effort, so damage to it can feel like a setback. Telling us how it’s affecting you helps keep your own priorities in the discussion.
A rough edge or a catch against your tongue or cheek is helpful detail for your dentist.
Tell us if the chip shows when you smile, since appearance is part of what’s being assessed.
It can be tempting to smooth the edge yourself, but raise it with the clinic first.
When it’s been dealt with
A restoration that has been altered or replaced can feel a bit different from the one you knew. New contact points may show up once you’re back to chewing and speaking normally.
Your own meals and conversations will reveal more than the few moments in the dental chair can.
Should something feel high, catch or rub, ask for it to be evaluated rather than getting used to it.
Your dentist may be able to comment on whether your bite or a habit played a part.
Noticed another rough patch? A quick call is a good place to start.

Ask our teamSave any piece that came off and phone (204) 338-3003. You’d be seen at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6, after the clinic confirms your request. The appointment form also works for concerns that aren’t urgent.
Either could happen, and sometimes a simple adjustment is enough. The decision follows an assessment of the restoration and surrounding tissues, so it isn’t something that can be answered reliably over the phone.
Yes. Small pieces can tell your dentist something about the damage, and may even be needed for a repair. Put them in something protective so they aren’t lost before your visit.
Household adhesive isn’t a good stopgap, because it can damage dental materials, distort how the piece fits and complicate a professional repair. If you’re worried about waiting, call the clinic and explain.
It’s still worth having checked. Lack of pain doesn’t tell you what condition the restoration is in, and only an examination can show what, if anything, should be done about it.
Matching is part of the aim. Shade information helps a restoration blend with the teeth beside it, and the colour gets checked in your mouth in suitable lighting. Speak up if it doesn’t look right to you.
These pages explain what each restoration is for. Your dentist can tell you whether any of them applies to your situation after looking at the damage.
