Teeth that have served you for decades tend to show it, through worn edges, deepened colour and fillings placed long ago. Tooth-coloured restorations can have a role in keeping those teeth working and looking natural.
Let's find a time
With age, the shade of natural teeth often shifts, and a restoration needs to relate to the colour you have today rather than the one you had years ago. Scotia Heights is in Winnipeg, and those living there can visit our McPhillips Street clinic to find out what is realistic for the teeth they have now.
Mature teeth may also carry large old fillings, worn surfaces or hairline cracks. That does not mean everything needs redoing. Your dentist weighs how much support is left, how you bite and what you want from treatment, because a modest repair may suit one tooth while another needs broader coverage.
Explore tooth-colored restorations
Shade selection looks at your current enamel, which has often changed gradually over the years.
Long-standing fillings can be assessed one by one instead of being replaced just because they are old.
Tell us about medications and conditions, since they are part of how any care is considered.
No two mouths age in the same way. These are some of the situations a dentist may come across, and how a tooth-coloured approach might fit into them.
Decades of chewing can shorten teeth or flatten their surfaces, which may affect both their appearance and how they meet.
A big restoration placed many years ago might be stable, or the walls of the tooth around it might have become weak.
A darker colour on its own does not mean that a tooth or a filling has failed. Your dentist will look for functional reasons before suggesting any change.
With a long dental history, some context goes a long way. This is how an assessment may be organized if you have plenty of past dental work.
Request your visitWe go over your health conditions, current medications and any dental work you remember, as well as what is bothering you now.
Your teeth, gums, bite and existing restorations are checked, with dental images considered when they would be useful for the diagnosis.
Urgent findings are separated from those that can wait, and you have a chance to say what you most hope to improve.
You and your dentist discuss what would be done first and what might only be monitored, with the reasons explained clearly.
It does not need to be fancy. A list showing what you take and at what dose, including non-prescription products, makes it easier to keep the discussion accurate.
If you find small print difficult, or you would like things explained at a slower pace, please let us know that as well.
A treatment chair, and a bench by the reception area.
Getting into the dental chair and staying there can be harder for some people than for others. You are welcome to mention anything that would make your appointment more manageable.
If lying back is uncomfortable, say so before treatment starts, so that you can discuss positioning.
Having the plan repeated, or asking for a clearer explanation, is entirely reasonable at any stage.
Your jaw can tire sooner than you expect, so ask how to signal when you would like a short break.
Daily care as the years go on
Restorations need the same daily care as natural teeth, and sometimes a little more attention. Your dental team can suggest practical ways to manage that.
If gripping a toothbrush or using floss has become difficult, ask what other tools could work for your hands.
A new prescription or a change in your health is worth sharing at your next examination, so the record stays current.
Mention any lasting dryness to your dentist, as it can make your mouth less comfortable and is worth discussing.

Helpful details about tooth-colored restorations in Scotia Heights.
Ask our teamA birth date tells us very little. Suitability depends on the amount of remaining structure, the location of the repair, moisture control and your bite, and it is assessed for each tooth.
The material is selected to relate to your present enamel, not to a younger shade. Teeth have many colours and qualities, so a natural relationship is the goal instead of an exact match.
Not simply because of their age. Some long-standing fillings remain sound, and removal has its own cost to the tooth. An examination shows which, if any, need attention.
Yes, please share them all, including any recent changes. A complete list helps your dentist consider your care with the right information in hand.
That is something to raise at your assessment. Your dentist would need to look at the tooth and the appliance together before advising you.
Call (204) 338-3003 and explain what you would like looked at. You can also use the form here, and your appointment would be held at 2358 McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Depending on what is found, other treatments may come up, from a full-coverage restoration to replacing a missing tooth. You can read about them here beforehand, if that would help.
