Can a veneer repair a chipped tooth?+
Limited fractures are sometimes treated this way, although it depends on how much tooth remains and how your bite meets that edge. In some cases, bonding or a stronger restoration may be more appropriate.
Why are my front teeth getting shorter?+
Many things can wear down tooth edges, and your dentist would need to look at your teeth and bite to comment on your situation. Please mention any grinding you are aware of.
Can I have a veneer if I grind my teeth?+
It needs careful consideration, since grinding is one of the factors that influences chipping and debonding. An examination will help determine whether the bite can protect the new edge.
Would a tooth with a root canal be suitable?+
A heavily weakened or root-canal-treated tooth may need a different plan from a veneer. Your dentist can assess that tooth and explain the options.
What should I do if my tooth just broke?+
Phone the clinic at (204) 338-3003 rather than submitting the online form. Staff can advise you about getting the tooth looked at, and cosmetic options can be discussed later.
