Your canine, the long pointed tooth at the corner of your smile, now looks blunt or has a small piece missing from the tip. Because this tooth often helps guide how your jaw slides, its repair is planned with your bite in mind.
Let's find a time
Canines sit where the front of the smile turns toward the back teeth. They are visible when you talk and laugh, and in many mouths they also take some of the load when the lower jaw moves to the side. A flattened or chipped tip can change both how the tooth looks and how it works.
Crescentwood is an area of Winnipeg, and residents with a worn or chipped canine can be examined at our McPhillips Street clinic. Rebuilding the point with composite may be possible, depending on what is left of the tooth and the forces on it.

How your teeth glide when you shift your jaw affects how much stress a rebuilt tip will face.
The canine is seen from the front and the side, so shape and shade are judged from both views.
Grinding or clenching can flatten canines, and knowing the cause helps protect any repair.
A small chip and a tip worn flat by years of grinding call for different conversations, even though both may involve tooth-coloured material.
Tooth-coloured resin may be bonded and sculpted to restore the pointed outline.
A canine with extensive damage or several old fillings may need more support than direct resin provides.
If the flattening is mild and not bothering you, monitoring at your routine visits can be a reasonable choice.
This assessment considers the canine alongside the teeth it works with, because a repair that ignores the bite may not hold.
Request your visitExplain whether something broke suddenly or whether the tip wore down gradually.
You may be asked to slide your teeth side to side while the dentist observes which teeth make contact.
The tip, enamel thickness and any existing work on the canine are examined closely.
Monitoring, a composite rebuild or a custom option are compared for your situation.
Your habits and history help explain why a canine wears, which in turn shapes what is recommended.
If a sharp edge is catching your lip or tongue, mention it when you request your visit.
A leather chair in a consultation room, and artwork above the waiting-area bench.
Some people like a softer canine outline while others want the original point back. Your preference is considered alongside what your bite will safely allow.
A photo of your smile from before the change can help describe the outline you want.
Find out whether a longer tip would place more stress on the repair.
Ask whether numbing is likely for your repair if that is on your mind.
Protecting the new tip
A sculpted tip works hard during side-to-side movement, so a few everyday choices can help it stay intact.
Opening packages or biting thread with the corner teeth puts sideways stress on the repair.
If grinding is part of the picture, ask whether a protective appliance would suit you.
A tip that starts to feel jagged may have chipped and is worth having checked.
If the tooth becomes painful or a large piece breaks away, call the clinic for advice.

Helpful details about tooth-colored restorations in Crescentwood.
Ask our teamGrinding, clenching and the way your teeth slide together are common contributors. An examination of your bite helps identify what is happening in your case.
Often, if enough healthy tooth remains and your bite allows it. Heavier forces or a weakened tooth may point toward a custom restoration.
It can, because the canine often guides side movements. That is why contacts are checked carefully before the visit ends.
Not always. A small chip may be smoothed or monitored, though a sharp edge or ongoing wear might make a repair worth discussing.
Any restoration on a tooth that takes sideways force can chip. Habits, grinding protection and the design of the repair all play a part.
