Teeth do not always fail with a sudden break. Sometimes one just gets shorter, flatter or oddly shaped over time. Highland Pointe residents can have that change assessed at our clinic on McPhillips Street.
Let's find a time
Gradual change is easy to miss. You may spot a flattened chewing surface in the mirror, notice that one tooth looks shorter than its neighbours, or simply feel that your teeth no longer meet as they used to. Because nothing dramatic happened, it may never have seemed worth mentioning.
When heavy wear or a change in structure has left a tooth compromised, a crown is one possible way to restore its form and give it a new chewing surface. Whether that fits your tooth is a question for an examination at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg. A dentist would look at the whole picture, since the reason for the wear matters as much as the wear itself.
Explore dental crowns
A crown is designed to re-establish the outer shape of a tooth that has become compromised.
Worn areas can be covered with a new biting surface planned around how your teeth meet.
Bite forces and grinding are worth discussing, because they can continue to act on a repaired tooth.
Two questions usually shape this decision. One concerns the tooth as it stands today. The other concerns the forces that brought it to this point.
An examination looks past the visible flattening, to whether the tooth underneath could dependably support coverage.
Replacing lost shape without considering why it disappeared could leave the same pressures working on the new surface.
Not every worn tooth calls for full coverage. A smaller repair or simple monitoring may be more fitting, and only an assessment can sort that out for your mouth.
A custom crown generally involves preparation and records at one visit and placement at a later one. The gap between them comes down to your chosen material and overall plan.
Request your visitTooth, root, gums and bite all get evaluated, with X-rays where appropriate, before a dentist says whether a crown is the suitable choice here.
Once frozen, the tooth is shaped to accept the crown. A scan or impression, a bite record and shade details are all taken to guide its design.
A temporary crown may sit in place in the meantime and protect the tooth. It is not as sturdy for daily use, so be gentle and skip sticky foods.
With the crown tried on, attention turns to its fit, its contact with other teeth, your bite and its look. Adjustments can come before it is cemented.
Wear tends to develop slowly, so your own memory of how things have changed can add useful context for an examination. There is no need to be certain of the cause yourself.
If several teeth show wear, ask what would be sensible to address first, and request an estimate for whatever is proposed so you can plan ahead.
Chairs by the window in the waiting area, and cabinets in a treatment room.
Tell the clinic in advance about any tooth that reacts to cold or to being touched. Local anesthetic is normally part of crown preparation, and pressure or vibration may still be noticeable during the work.
Showing exactly where it feels sensitive gives your dentist something specific to consider.
Gum tenderness or temporary sensitivity can follow preparation and should settle over time.
When a lot of information arrives at once, you can ask to have the main points repeated.
Protecting what was rebuilt
Bite forces and grinding are among the things that influence how a crown holds up over the years, along with remaining tooth structure and how well the margin is kept clean.
If grinding has been identified, ask whether a protective appliance would be sensible for you. Wearing it as advised is part of the plan.
A new surface should not feel too high. If your bite seems off, call for a check instead of waiting for it to settle in.
Decay can still affect natural tooth next to the crown, so brush that edge carefully and clean between your teeth.
Keep up with recommended examinations, as they also give a chance to compare how the other teeth are doing.

Helpful details about dental crowns in Highland Pointe.
Ask our teamYes, a change like that is worth raising. An examination can show how far the wear has gone and whether the tooth has become weakened in the process.
A crown is made to restore form and chewing surface, though suitability and the exact design depend on your tooth, your bite and how much structure remains.
Grinding and bite forces are common topics in this conversation, but a dentist would need to see your teeth before suggesting what is behind your particular wear.
No. Some teeth can simply be monitored or repaired on a smaller scale. Ask what the findings suggest for you and which signs would change that advice.
A new chewing surface may take some noticing. However, if it hits too heavily, contact the clinic, because that should be checked and adjusted.
