A slip, an elbow or a hard bite on something unexpected can break a tooth in seconds. Kildonan Park residents can read how a damaged tooth is assessed for a crown at our McPhillips Street clinic, and when to call first.
Let's find a time
Dental injuries tend to come without warning, and they leave you with a broken edge your tongue keeps finding. Some breaks are minor. Others take a good part of the tooth with them or leave a crack running through what is left, and the difference may not be obvious from a look in the mirror.
A crown is one possibility once things are clear, as it can reinforce a fractured tooth and restore its shape. It is not the first thing to decide, though. Your dentist at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg would first look at the tooth, root and gums, because damage from an injury is not always limited to the part you can see. If you are in pain or worried, call the clinic instead of using the form.
Explore dental crowns
If a tooth is painful or the injury worries you, a phone call is the right first step.
A tooth that looks mostly fine may still need the area beneath it to be examined.
A small chip and a large fracture are not likely to call for the same treatment.
After an injury, the goal is to find out what has happened to the tooth and what support it now requires. A crown sits at the far end of a range of possible repairs.
Full coverage is typically discussed when there is too little left for something smaller to hold on to.
Your dentist considers whether the injury affected more than the visible crown of the tooth.
A tooth can respond to trauma over time, so the dentist may talk about keeping an eye on it even after the visible damage has been repaired.
Once things have been assessed, a custom crown commonly follows a route of preparation and records and then placement at a later visit. Timing varies with the material and treatment plan.
Request your visitTell the dentist how and when the injury took place. They will evaluate the tooth, root, gums and bite with appropriate X-rays before confirming whether a crown suits it.
With the area frozen, the remaining tooth is shaped. A scan or impression comes next, plus a bite record and shade information to guide the crown.
A temporary may keep an already injured tooth covered while the final crown is made. Keep it clean with a soft touch, and stay away from anything sticky.
After checks on fit, contacts, bite and appearance, the crown can be adjusted as needed, and is then cemented in position.
You do not have to be sure what is wrong. Simply explain what happened, what has changed since then and whether the tooth feels different, and the dentist can ask you for anything further.
Injury-related work may raise questions about costs. Ask about estimates, and bring your insurance or CDCP details so that you can review your plan.
Black seats in a consultation room, and a blue bench and rug in the waiting area.
An accident can leave you more anxious about dental treatment than usual, especially if the tooth is tender. Let the dentist know how you are feeling, and ask what each step involves before it happens.
Tell the dentist which area hurts, so they know before they begin examining it.
Crown preparation normally involves local anesthetic, although pressure can still be felt.
If you feel overwhelmed, it is reasonable to ask for a moment during the appointment.
In the weeks and years ahead
Even after a repair, trauma stays part of that tooth’s history. The nerve can become inflamed before or after a crown goes on, and previous damage is one of the possible reasons why.
Sensitivity that is not settling, new pain or a change in how the tooth feels are all good reasons to call the clinic.
New trauma can affect how long a crown lasts. If you play contact sports, ask whether a protective appliance is worth discussing.
Recommended examinations give the dentist a regular look at the crown, the tooth underneath and the gums around it.
Keep up with brushing and cleaning between your teeth too, as the crown’s margin can still be affected by decay.

No. A small chip may call for a much smaller repair, while a larger fracture might need broader coverage. Your dentist determines this after looking at the tooth.
If you are concerned about it, yes, get in touch. Damage is not always obvious from the outside, and the clinic can talk about whether an examination makes sense for you.
It could. The nerve may become inflamed for reasons including previous damage, and this can happen before or after a crown is placed. Ask the dentist what to watch for.
It can be considered if the tooth needs more support. Suitability depends on what remains of it and on the condition of its root and gums.
Ask for an estimate once the dentist has looked at the tooth. The amount depends on the care recommended, and any coverage depends on your own plan.
