A damaged front tooth is hard to stop thinking about, and you want the fix to look like you. Learn what goes into blending a repair, and how to have your tooth assessed.
Let's find a time
Maybe you bit into something hard, or you simply noticed a corner missing one morning. For Garden City residents dealing with that kind of damage, our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg can examine the tooth and talk through ways to rebuild it.
A convincing repair takes more than picking the closest colour from a shade tab. Light, surface detail and the outline of the tooth all influence whether your eye stops on it, and those qualities are considered together with its strength and the way it meets your bite.
Explore tooth-colored restorations
The repair is compared with the rest of the tooth and the teeth on either side.
Fine texture changes how highlights fall, which is a big part of looking natural.
Front teeth still bite and guide your jaw, so a pleasing look is not the whole job.
A tooth is not a single flat colour. Here is what we pay attention to, and the kinds of restoration that may be used to achieve it.
These two work together: one is the colour relationship, and the other concerns how light travels through and bounces back from the material.
Tiny surface details and the overall contour decide whether a repaired edge looks at home beside its neighbours.
We work toward a natural-looking result, although nobody can promise an exact match. Smaller chips are often candidates for composite, and your assessment will show whether that applies to your tooth.
Assuming your assessment points to direct composite, this is roughly how the appointment proceeds. A larger break could lead to a different plan.
Request your visitExplain how the tooth was damaged and whether it now reacts to temperature or biting, so the examination can take that into account.
After reviewing how much is missing, we remove any decay or loose material and condition and isolate the surface for bonding.
Resin is added in small amounts to recreate the outline and the way the tooth relates to the one beside it.
Your bite is tested and the surface polished, and you can have a look and give your impression of the result.
Should a piece have come off cleanly, tell the clinic when you phone. If you are in pain or the damage looks severe, call rather than sending a request through the website.
The price of a repair depends on how much is missing and which restoration suits it, so an estimate makes the most sense after the examination.
The first spaces you will see when you arrive.
People often cover their mouth or avoid smiling while they wait to have a tooth repaired. Accidents happen to teeth all the time, and there is no need to feel embarrassed about yours.
Would you like to see progress as it happens? Say so before the shaping begins.
Your opinion about the shape matters, so speak up if something does not look right to you.
A freshly chipped tooth can be tender, and it helps to warn us about any spot that reacts.
Living with the repair
A front-tooth repair is exposed to everything you eat, drink and bite. A little awareness can help it keep looking and working as intended.
Tobacco, some beverages, plaque and surface roughness can all contribute to staining of composite.
Consider how you use your front teeth, and ask about habits that could put extra stress on the repaired edge.
If you feel a new rough patch or see a chip in the repair, phone so it can be looked at.
Staining does not always mean a restoration must be redone, so have it checked before assuming the worst.
