White filling, inlay, onlay, crown: the words pile up quickly. Wherever you live in the city, we can help you make sense of which repair your tooth actually calls for.
Let's find a time
“Tooth-coloured restoration” is an umbrella term rather than one specific treatment. It covers any repair for decay, wear, a fracture or failing dental work that uses a material chosen to relate to the enamel around it.
Patients come to Winnipeg North Dental from across the city, often with a term they heard elsewhere and no clear idea what it means for them. Once the tooth has been assessed, we can explain which repair fits it and why.
Explore tooth-colored restorations
Hear what each restoration name means and how it applies to the tooth in question.
Strength, contour, contact and bite all count alongside how the repair looks.
A recommendation should come with an explanation, so ask for one whenever something is unclear.
Nearly every tooth-coloured repair falls into one of two groups. What separates them is where the restoration takes shape, and that follows from how much of the tooth needs rebuilding.
Often chosen for smaller and moderate repairs, this resin is worked straight onto the prepared tooth by your dentist.
Where more support is called for, a piece is fabricated outside the mouth from a scan or an impression.
No name on this page is a recommendation for you. An examination of the tooth comes first, and that is what points to one option or another.
The order below is typical, though the tooth and the type of repair can change the details.
Request your visitMaybe a chip, a dark spot, a rough edge or a filling that has come loose. Share your health history and what you hope to change.
We look at the existing structure, your bite and any old dental work, adding dental images if they would give useful information.
You hear which design suits the tooth, what material is proposed and the thinking behind it, with room for your priorities.
Direct or custom, shade, shape, bite and contact with neighbouring teeth get a careful check before the work is called complete.
Nobody expects you to know which restoration you need. A rough account of what you have noticed gives us plenty to begin with.
Costs vary with the restoration involved, so you may want to ask about an estimate once a recommendation has been made.
Space to settle in before your appointment.
Unfamiliar treatment names tend to sound more alarming than they need to. Say so if anything has you uneasy, and we can slow the conversation down.
Dental vocabulary is optional here. Stop us whenever a term goes past you.
A heads-up about a sensitive tooth or a sore area helps us plan around it.
Raise a hand or agree on another signal ahead of time if you may need a moment.
Once it is done
A restoration still lives in a working mouth, so the way you care for it and the way it meets your other teeth continue to matter.
Plaque can collect where the restoration meets the tooth, so ask for tips on cleaning that exact area.
A high spot or a rough edge is worth mentioning to the clinic rather than simply getting used to it.
Future examinations are a chance to look at how the restoration and the surrounding tooth are holding up.
Is something bothering you about a recent repair? Give us a call and describe it.

Helpful details about tooth-colored restorations in Winnipeg.
Ask our teamA white filling is one kind of tooth-coloured restoration. The wider term also takes in custom pieces such as inlays, onlays, veneers and crowns.
That is decided with you after the assessment. The size and location of the damage narrow the choice, and your dentist can explain how your priorities fit in.
A general answer would not tell you much, since performance hinges on repair size, position, moisture control, bite and design. The useful comparison is one made for your particular tooth.
We aim for a natural relationship with the rest of the tooth, though no match can be promised as perfect. Natural teeth contain several colours and optical qualities at once.
Yes, patients from anywhere in the city may request a visit to our clinic at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6. Use the form here or phone (204) 338-3003, and the clinic will follow up about timing.
No single figure applies, because a small composite and a custom crown are very different pieces of work. Request an estimate once the plan is clear, and check with your insurer or CDCP about what your coverage includes.
Each of these pages looks more closely at one type of repair. Whether any of them suits you is a question for your assessment.
