A crown gets all the attention, but your own tooth is still doing the work underneath it. North Kildonan residents can learn what lies beneath, and how that foundation is examined at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
Think of a crown as a covering, not a replacement. It fits over the visible part of a tooth, while the root, the remaining structure and the surrounding gums carry on as before. So the health of those underlying parts is central to the decision to place one and to how it does later.
North Kildonan is in Winnipeg, and crown treatment for its residents takes place at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. If you are curious about the anatomy, this page is for you. It explains what the dentist examines beneath the surface and what you can do to help protect it.

Preparation shapes your tooth without removing it, so a living or treated core remains beneath the crown.
Below the gumline, the root anchors the tooth, which is one reason it gets evaluated first.
Where crown meets tooth, natural structure is still open to decay, which is why daily care matters.
A crown strengthens and covers. It does not, however, cure what is going on below or beside it. Knowing that distinction makes sense of what a dentist looks for during an assessment.
These are the roles a crown can play for a tooth that has been weakened.
These parts remain yours, and they carry on being subject to their own concerns.
Since it is a living system beneath, a crown may not end a tooth’s story. The nerve can become inflamed before or after placement, as a result of deep decay, cracks, earlier damage or other causes.
The usual course for a custom crown is a preparation appointment that includes detailed records, and then a later one for placement. Time between visits varies according to material and plan.
Request your visitA review of the tooth and root, your gums and your bite, plus any appropriate X-rays, shows whether the foundation can support a predictable result.
Local anesthetic numbs the tooth before it is shaped to receive a crown. Scan or impression data, a bite record and shade details then guide its construction.
Because the shaped tooth should not be left bare, a temporary may protect it for the interim. Be gentle when cleaning, and do not eat sticky foods.
After reviewing contacts, appearance, bite and fit, the dentist makes any needed adjustments, then cements the custom crown over the prepared tooth.
If you like understanding how things work, here are a few questions to start with. The answers can make a recommendation feel more concrete and less like something to take on trust.
Looking at your own X-ray alongside the dentist can make these points easier to understand. Feel free to ask whether that is possible.

For some patients, the unknown is the hardest part. Knowing that your tooth is being reshaped and covered, and not taken away, can make the whole idea less alarming. Ask as many questions as you need to feel you understand what is planned.
Your tooth is numbed through local anesthetic, but vibration and pressure can still register during shaping.
A tooth that has just been worked on can be briefly sensitive, and gums may be tender. Both should improve.
Nothing is too basic to raise. If a term or a picture is unclear, let the dentist explain it again.
Protecting what is underneath
Crown material itself will not decay, but the tooth it covers still can at the margin. Over time, the amount of supporting structure, your bite, gum changes and any grinding or trauma all bear on how things go.
Target the line between crown and tooth when you brush, and clean between teeth daily so plaque does not sit there.
Examinations and suitable X-rays allow a dentist to monitor what is happening under and around your crown.
A crown that moves or sensitivity that is not improving as expected may be a clue about the tooth beneath.
A crown that comes loose can leave the tooth underneath exposed. Contact the clinic promptly and describe what has happened.

Helpful details about dental crowns in North Kildonan.
Ask our teamA shaped core of your natural tooth remains, supported by its root. How much is left varies with the damage and with what preparation requires.
A crown covers the visible tooth, so it does not treat a root or nerve issue. That is why the root is evaluated before a crown is confirmed.
It usually depends on the tooth’s history. If the tooth has not had a root canal, the nerve remains, and it can become inflamed before or after placement.
Temporary sensitivity can occur after treatment and should improve. If it is not improving as expected, tell the clinic so that it can be checked.
The foundation has to be able to support a predictable result. If it cannot, your dentist can discuss other options suited to your situation.
Send a request through this page or phone (204) 338-3003. The tooth and its foundation are then assessed at the McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg.
