It’s easy to start with one edge and end up listing half your smile. Patients from Garden Grove can go through that list with us on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
Once you begin studying your smile, one uneven tooth has a habit of pointing you to another. Perhaps several edges look a little irregular, or you’d simply like the whole front row tidied. Wanting that is ordinary. But adjusting several teeth raises a question that fixing one doesn’t: how does each change affect the rest?
Each tooth has its own enamel, contacts and history, so none of them gets approved as part of a package. And if a long list reflects crowding or major imbalance, the request may have outgrown contouring altogether. For Garden Grove residents, this assessment takes place at Winnipeg North Dental, on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Explore tooth reshaping
Being on your list doesn’t decide anything. Each tooth is evaluated individually for what it can safely spare.
Shortening one edge can create a new difference next to it, so neighbours get considered together.
A dentist might suggest changing only one or two teeth, or none, rather than everything you pointed out.
A list is a useful starting point, though it isn’t a plan. Here’s how individual teeth might end up on one side or the other after an examination.
Where the issue is a small one in sound enamel, a limited adjustment might be considered for that particular tooth.
Others could turn out to be unsuitable, either because of the tooth itself or because of what removing enamel would do to the row.
If many teeth seem uneven because of how they’re lined up or how they’ve worn, ask whether another approach would serve the goal better than repeated small removals.
Starting out with several teeth doesn’t change how carefully each is treated. An assessment and any adjustments would follow this general outline.
Request your visitTell the dentist which tooth bothers you most and which ones you’d be fine leaving. That gives the talk a sense of priority.
Enamel, cracks, restorations and contacts are checked for each one, and proportions across the front teeth are compared as a group.
You and the dentist can discuss which teeth, if any, are worth changing, and which goals might call for something different.
Each agreed area is marked and reduced by small amounts, the row is compared as you go, and polishing and bite checks finish it off.
When you’re thinking about several teeth, it’s easy to lose track of what bothers you most. A quick look at your smile, without overanalyzing it, can help you sort out your priorities.
If any tooth on your list has pain, swelling or a break, phone the clinic about it. That tooth shouldn’t wait for a form response.

A longer list can make the whole thing seem like a bigger undertaking. Ask what to expect for your particular teeth, including how much time may be involved, so that nothing catches you off guard.
Whether one tooth or several, work kept within enamel often doesn’t need local anaesthetic, as there’s no nerve supply there.
One might feel fine while another reacts. Report sensitivity right away, so that the dentist can stop and reconsider.
If you’d rather not go further than the first tooth or two, you’re free to say so.
With a new row to look at
Multiple small changes can add up to a slight difference in how your front teeth look and feel. It’s reasonable to let them settle in before thinking about anything else.
Consider your smile at normal distance, rather than checking one tooth after another up close.
Since removed enamel stays gone, wait before asking about further teeth, and ask first what those teeth can spare.
If your bite seems different after several edges were changed, describe that to the clinic.

Helpful details about tooth reshaping in Garden Grove.
Ask our teamThere’s no standard number. It depends on each tooth’s enamel, your bite and the overall proportions of your smile. The dentist can say which ones, if any, are good candidates.
Your assessment is the place to raise that, as it depends on what’s planned for your teeth. Be sure to ask how the work would be organized and how much time to allow.
Not automatically, although shortening one tooth can create a difference elsewhere. That possibility should be discussed before anything’s done, since removing enamel is permanent.
When your goal would need significant shortening or narrowing, or a change in tooth position, colour or size. Contouring is meant for small refinements, not a major transformation of the smile.
They might be worth discussing, as veneers involve broader planning for the shape, colour and texture of front teeth. An assessment can show which options fit your concerns.
Send the form or call (204) 338-3003, and mention that you have several teeth in mind. The clinic will respond about an assessment at its McPhillips Street location in Winnipeg.
When your goals go beyond a tooth or two, other treatments may be more suitable. These pages explain how they work.
