Maybe a corner snapped off beside your oldest filling, or the same tooth keeps needing repairs. If that sounds familiar in Garden City, it may be time to ask what that tooth needs now.
Let's find a time
Large fillings replace missing tooth, yet they do not bring back the strength that went with it. As years pass, the thin walls around a big restoration can be left doing a lot of work, and a piece may eventually give way. That is one of the more common situations in which a crown gets considered.
Replacing the filling could still be appropriate, and so could an onlay; it hinges on how much natural tooth is left and how healthy it is. For Garden City residents, that assessment happens at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, along with any treatment that follows.
Explore dental crowns
How much tooth surrounds it matters at least as much as the condition of the filling itself.
A new filling, an onlay or full coverage may each be on the list, depending on your findings.
Noticed a piece missing or a sharp edge? Give the clinic a call and describe it.
A tooth with a long repair history needs a careful look, since what you can see in the mirror tells only part of the story.
Examination focuses on what is happening around the existing restoration and how much sound tooth is present.
A restoration lives among its neighbours, so the surrounding conditions influence the choice as well.
After reviewing these findings, the dentist can explain whether another filling, an onlay, or a crown is reasonable for your tooth.
Moving on from a filling to a crown typically spans two appointments: preparation with records, then placement. How long the gap lasts depends on the material used and on your plan.
Request your visitYour dentist studies the tooth, gums and bite along with X-rays, in order to judge whether the foundation can take a crown.
Under local anesthetic, the tooth is prepared to receive full coverage. Scanning or impressions then capture its new form, and bite and shade are noted.
You might wear a temporary during production. Chewing sticky food on it can cause trouble, and cleaning around it should be gentle.
The finished piece is tried on the tooth so that shape, contacts and bite can be assessed. Any tweaks come first, and cementing comes last.
You might not remember when that filling went in, and that is fine. Anything you can recall about past work or recent changes gives the dentist a useful starting point.
The cost depends on which restoration suits the tooth, so request an estimate once options are clear. Your plan determines what any coverage pays.
Where a tired filling gets its closer look.
It is common to change how you eat around a troublesome filling without really noticing. Mentioning those habits gives a truer picture of how the tooth is coping, and nobody will scold you for putting this off.
Local anesthetic normally comes before the old filling and tooth are worked on.
Point out spots where a broken edge has been rubbing your tongue or cheek.
Your gums or tooth may feel a little tender afterward, and that should ease over time.
Avoiding repeat repairs
Nobody can promise a restored tooth will never need attention again. Still, regular cleaning and timely reports of change can help you catch small issues around the crown earlier.
New decay can start on natural tooth at the crown margin, which makes that line an important place to clean.
Keeping to the recommended schedule means the crown and its surroundings stay under regular review.
Food that packs in around the crown, or floss that keeps tearing, is a reason to get in touch.
If the new crown feels tall when you bite together, call and have it adjusted instead of waiting.

Helpful details about dental crowns in Garden City.
Ask our teamPossibly, though a replacement filling or onlay may also be workable. Phone the clinic and describe what happened, so the tooth can be examined and the remaining structure assessed.
A filling relies on the surrounding tooth for support. Once only limited natural structure is left around it, the dentist may suggest a restoration offering broader reinforcement.
That is determined at preparation, based on the condition of the existing work and the tooth beneath it. Ask the dentist to walk you through how your filling will be handled.
That depends on the health of the root and gums and on how much structure remains, all of which are examined first. Your dentist can explain what the findings mean.
Certainly. Use the form or phone (204) 338-3003 to ask about a visit to our Winnipeg clinic at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street. Mention the broken filling if that is why you are calling.
Depending on what the examination reveals, one of these treatments may suit your tooth better or work alongside a crown.
