Some small flaws deserve attention and many can simply stay. An assessment at our McPhillips Street clinic helps you work out which kind you have.
Let's find a time
Perhaps a tooth edge has bothered you, mildly, for a long while. It isn’t painful, nobody has mentioned it, and you keep going back and forth on whether it deserves any action. Waterford Green is in Winnipeg, and this page is for residents there who are still weighing that question.
Tooth reshaping, also called enamel contouring, takes away a very small amount of outer enamel to smooth or refine an edge. Enamel never regrows, so it makes sense to hesitate. Hearing that a tooth is sound and can be left untouched is a perfectly useful result of an assessment at Winnipeg North Dental.

Coming in to ask does not commit you to having any enamel removed.
What seems cosmetic could turn out to be wear, a crack or an ageing filling.
If nothing needs doing now, you can simply bring the question back another time.
Nobody can settle this from a web page, since the answer rests on your enamel and bite. These lists show the sort of thing an examination weighs up.
The treatment fits a limited irregularity with enough healthy enamel around it, especially one you notice repeatedly.
Removing enamel is a one-way step, so several findings can argue for doing nothing or choosing another approach.
A rough edge might signal a fracture or a filling problem, which is one good reason to have even a harmless-looking spot examined.
Should you and the dentist agree contouring suits the tooth, the work is deliberately gradual. The first part of the appointment is the thinking; the rest stays small.
Request your visitPoint out what catches your eye. Enamel thickness, tooth health and your bite are all evaluated before anyone reaches for an instrument.
Neighbouring teeth serve as the comparison, which shows exactly where a slight adjustment could be appropriate, if anywhere.
Fine instruments take off minimal enamel, and shape and symmetry get checked repeatedly along the way.
Polishing removes any roughness. Contacts are then reassessed as your jaw moves into different positions.
You don’t need a firm opinion before requesting a visit. Spending a few minutes on what actually bothers you just makes the discussion more productive.
Costs can be raised when you book, so that money is one more thing you can weigh rather than a surprise.

Treatment limited to enamel is generally comfortable, and local anaesthetic usually isn’t needed. If you are hesitant about any of it, tell the dentist that up front.
Starting with that admission lets the appointment be about advice instead of a procedure.
Enamel has no nerve supply, which explains why contouring within it often needs no anaesthetic.
Any sensitivity is a signal to stop and reassess, so speak up the moment you feel it.
Whichever way you decide
Choosing treatment and choosing to wait both leave you with something to keep an eye on. A later change is simply a reason to get back in touch.
The surface is left smooth and polished. Should the area feel sharp or rough years from now, have it checked for wear, a chip or something else.
Nothing has been lost, because the enamel is all still there. You remain free to reconsider whenever the tooth starts to bother you more.
A new rough patch, a fresh break or discomfort deserves a call rather than a wait-and-see attitude.

Helpful details about tooth reshaping in Waterford Green.
Ask our teamOften a small unevenness is only a matter of appearance, and no rule says it must be changed. An examination can tell you whether something like a crack or an old filling problem is behind it, which is the part you can’t judge in a mirror.
Too little enamel at the planned spot, a change that would disturb how the front teeth meet, or a request for more change than a small refinement allows. Any of those points away from reshaping, toward another option or toward leaving the tooth alone.
Not as a general rule, though teeth can wear or chip over time and the assessment would reflect whatever is there on that day. If the edge seems to be changing, that alone is worth bringing up sooner.
A check-up is a natural moment to mention it. When you request the appointment, say you’d also like the tooth looked at so the clinic can tell you how that fits into the visit.
No, it doesn’t grow back. A worn or over-short area can sometimes be built up with bonding, but that is resin added on top and it needs maintenance, so it isn’t the same as getting your own enamel back.
Send the form on this page or call (204) 338-3003, and mention that you’re undecided and would like an assessment first. The appointment itself would be at 2358 McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
A different treatment may answer the concern, or a routine visit may be all that’s called for. Read about them at your own pace.
