The assessment is the part of crown care people hear about least, yet it shapes everything afterward. Aurora residents can see what it covers before visiting our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
Asking for a crown assessment does not commit you to a crown. It is a chance for a dentist to work out whether one would actually help. A crown needs something dependable to sit on, so attention goes to much more than the part of the tooth you can see.
At Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, this first look draws together the tooth itself, its root, the gums around it and the way your teeth meet, with X-rays where they are appropriate. Your own account matters too. By the end, you should have a clearer sense of what was found and which options remain realistic.
Explore dental crowns
Tooth, root, gums and bite each answer a different question about whether coverage makes sense.
You may hear about a crown, a smaller repair, another treatment first, or continued monitoring.
What you have felt and when you felt it can add detail that a picture of the tooth may not show.
Think of the assessment as testing the case for a crown from several directions. A weak answer in any one of them could change the recommendation.
The visible tooth and its old repairs reveal how much natural material is left, and how the forces of chewing land on it.
Hidden structures determine whether a new crown would have stable support, which is why X-rays may be taken as appropriate.
A crown requires a dependable foundation. If that is in doubt, your dentist will explain what it means and which other routes could be weighed for your tooth.
A positive finding usually leads to clinical preparation and detailed records, with placement at a later visit. Timing depends on the material and your plan.
Request your visitYou get the explanation of what the tooth, root, gums, bite and X-rays have shown, plus a chance to ask about anything you did not follow.
Local anesthetic numbs the area, then the tooth is shaped. Your dentist records it with a scan or an impression, and also notes bite and shade.
You may leave with a temporary crown covering the tooth while your own is produced. Take care with it, particularly with sticky foods.
Fit, contacts, bite and appearance are confirmed on the finished crown. It is adjusted where required, and final cementation is the last step.
Your dentist can examine the tooth, but only you know its history. Some of that detail can be surprisingly helpful, and a little preparation means it will not slip your mind on the day.
Have your insurance or CDCP details handy, and ask for an estimate once options are on the table. What a plan pays toward is a matter for your own insurer.

If you are uneasy, it may help to know that an assessment centres on examination and conversation. Ask at the start what is planned for that visit, so that nothing catches you unprepared.
Find out whether anything beyond an examination and X-rays is expected before you settle in.
If a tooth is sore to touch or tap, tell your dentist before it gets checked.
Dental words can go by quickly. Stop the conversation whenever one of them does not make sense.
Leaving the assessment
Good next steps depend on what the examination found. Whichever way it goes, it helps to leave clear on the recommendation, the reasons behind it and what would change it.
Make sure you understand why, what the alternatives were, how many visits are likely and what estimate applies.
Ask what must be treated before a crown would make sense, and how the order of that care is decided.
Find out what to keep an eye on, and which new symptoms would be a reason to phone the clinic again.
A question that only occurs to you later is still worth asking, so feel free to get back in touch.

Helpful details about dental crowns in Aurora.
Ask our teamThey examine the tooth, root, gums and bite, along with X-rays where appropriate. The amount of healthy structure left and the reason for the damage both carry weight.
They are used when appropriate, because roots and some decay cannot be judged from the surface. Your dentist can tell you what is needed and why it would help.
Yes. A filling or an onlay might suit the tooth better, other care might be needed first, or the tooth may simply be something to monitor.
Gums form part of the support and surroundings of the tooth. Changes there can influence the plan as well as how well a crown does over the long term.
That depends on your situation, so check when you call. If you want time to think after hearing the findings, you can say that as well.
