It is easy to shrug off a damaged tooth at the very back of your mouth. Burrows Central residents can read why molars get so much attention, and how a crown for one is planned at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
Nobody will notice a worn molar when you smile, which is exactly why these teeth get ignored. Yet back teeth do the grinding work of every meal, and that pressure lands hard on any weak spot. A crown is one way to give a compromised molar a new chewing surface and spread that protection over the whole visible tooth.
This is a question of function far more than looks. At Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, the dentist considers how the tooth meets its opposite, how much of it remains and what the root and gums can support. A filling or an onlay might turn out to be enough, so ask how each compares for that tooth.
Explore dental crowns
Back teeth meet heavy forces each time you eat, so their strength matters.
Damage you cannot see in a mirror can still be significant to the tooth’s future.
From a filling to an onlay to a crown, the repair is matched to what the tooth needs.
Your dentist weighs how much healthy tooth to keep against how much support the damaged one requires. These are the points that tend to shape that choice.
These situations can leave a back tooth more exposed to the forces of daily chewing.
More coverage is not automatically better, since preserving healthy tooth is part of the aim.
The choice comes from examining your tooth, so a neighbour’s molar or an online diagram cannot tell you which repair is right for yours.
Custom crowns tend to need clinical preparation and records, then a later appointment for placement. How much time passes in between depends on the material and your plan.
Request your visitRoots, gums, bite and the tooth itself are all evaluated, along with suitable X-rays, so that the dentist can confirm a crown is the fitting choice.
Local anesthetic numbs the area first. After shaping, a scan or impression and a bite record show how the crown should meet the opposing tooth.
A temporary may guard the molar during production. It is a short-term cover, so take care when eating and skip anything sticky.
The custom crown is tried in, with close attention to how it contacts neighbouring and opposing teeth. Adjustments come before final cementation.
You probably know more about this tooth than you think. If you have started favouring one side, or you avoid certain foods, that habit is useful information to share with the dentist.
Asking about estimated costs before treatment leaves time to review your insurance or CDCP details and see how your plan handles the recommended work.
A treatment room with a monitor on the wall, and the reception area.
Staying open for a tooth at the back takes more effort than you might expect. Tell the dentist if your jaw starts to ache, or if you find the position difficult as the appointment goes on.
Short breaks can be requested, so settle on a hand signal before the work starts.
Preparation is normally done with local anesthetic, and pressure or vibration can still register.
Some short-lived sensitivity or gum tenderness can occur, and it should get better with time.
Keeping a molar going
It is harder to reach around a back crown, yet its edge is where trouble tends to begin. Decay cannot affect the crown, but the natural tooth at its margin remains vulnerable.
Angle your brush to the last tooth and clean between it and its neighbour. Ask for pointers if the area is awkward.
Food trapping around a new or old crown is a reason to call, as it can point to a contact that needs review.
Bite forces and grinding influence how a crown holds up, so ask whether a protective appliance makes sense for you.
A bite that feels high, a crown that shifts or lingering sensitivity should all be reported to the clinic.

Helpful details about dental crowns in Burrows Central.
Ask our teamLooks are not the reason a back tooth gets repaired. If it has cracked or lost much of its structure, the concern is chewing and further damage, which the dentist can explain after examining it.
A back tooth may need coverage after root canal therapy to reduce the risk of fracture under chewing forces. Not every case is identical, so ask about yours.
It can be for some teeth, as it covers selected portions and restores a larger area than a filling. A crown is considered when wider reinforcement is needed.
A temporary needs gentler habits, so avoid sticky foods and follow the instructions you are given at the clinic. Ask the dentist about chewing while it is on.
Not all concerns come with pain. Have the dentist explain what was found and what could happen if it is left alone, so that you can make an informed choice.
