Maybe someone mentioned a crown a while ago, and life went on. Mandalay West residents who have been putting it off are welcome to come back to the question at our McPhillips Street clinic, without any lecture.
Let's find a time
People delay crowns for ordinary reasons: the tooth stopped hurting, money was tight, or the appointment simply slipped. A recommendation made some time ago is a useful clue, but it may not describe the tooth as it is today. Things could be about the same, or they could have moved along.
So the first step is a fresh look. Your dentist can examine the tooth again, review its foundation, and tell you where things stand now and which options are realistic. That updated assessment takes place at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, and asking for one does not commit you to anything further.
Explore dental crowns
Time away from a recommendation is common, and an honest account helps your dentist most.
Earlier findings are a starting point. Today’s examination is what guides the plan.
A tooth that has stopped complaining can still benefit from having someone look at it.
A weakened tooth does not always stay as it was, though it may also have held steady. The re-examination is there to find out, using what can be seen and what X-rays can add.
Your dentist checks whether the original reason for suggesting a crown still applies and how the tooth has fared.
Your present situation determines what can be recommended, and that may differ from what you were told before.
Nobody can reliably predict how a given tooth will behave if left alone, so ask what your own findings suggest instead of assuming anything in advance.
Should a crown still be the right choice, the path usually involves preparation, records and a later placement. The material and your plan influence how the timing works.
Request your visitThe tooth, root, gums and bite are evaluated, with X-rays as appropriate, so that the decision rests on what is present now.
With local anesthetic in place, the tooth gets shaped. Your dentist then takes a scan or impression and records your bite and shade.
A temporary may stay on the tooth during production of the crown. Be gentle when you clean it, and leave sticky foods alone.
At try-in, fit, contacts, bite and appearance all get examined. After any changes, final cementation completes that long-postponed task.
You do not need an exact timeline. Even a rough memory of when the crown was suggested and why can help, as can anything you have noticed in the time since.
Costs and coverage may have changed since you first looked into this, so it is worth asking for a current estimate and rechecking your insurance or CDCP details.

Feeling a little sheepish about returning to something you postponed is very human. You are free to tell us that up front, and we can focus on the tooth and what you want to do next.
If something about an earlier appointment put you off, mention it so we know.
Preparation is normally carried out with local anesthetic, so pressure and vibration are the typical sensations.
Ask as many questions as you need, and take time to think over whatever is recommended.
Not losing track again
Once the tooth is dealt with, the goal is to catch future changes while they are still small. Routine care does most of the work, and a quick call handles what remains.
Your dentist can suggest how often to return, so that crowns, gums and other teeth keep being monitored.
Natural tooth at the margin can still decay, which makes careful brushing and cleaning between teeth worthwhile.
If your new crown feels high, shifts, or traps food, or your floss frays there, phone rather than letting it slide.
If any other recommended treatment is still on your mind, ask how it fits into your priorities.

Helpful details about dental crowns in Mandalay West.
Ask our teamThe absence of pain does not tell you much on its own, since a cracked or weakened tooth can be quiet. An examination can show whether the reason for that recommendation still stands.
That depends on the condition of the tooth today, including its root and remaining structure. It is worth having it checked, as your dentist can tell you what is still possible.
It is possible, but not certain. Fractures or deep decay can develop in a compromised tooth, and some teeth stay stable. Re-examining the tooth is how you find out which applies.
You can request an assessment here and tell us about the earlier recommendation. The dentist will examine the tooth and may ask whether any previous records can be obtained.
No, and you never need to apologize for the delay. Telling the dentist honestly how long it has been and what you have noticed simply makes the assessment more useful.
Fill out the form or call (204) 338-3003 and mention that a crown was recommended in the past. The clinic will contact you to arrange an assessment at our McPhillips Street location in Winnipeg.
Your updated assessment could point toward one of these treatments, either alongside a crown or in place of one.
