For many people, the real questions begin after the crown goes on. Does it feel right? Can you chew on it? Northwood residents can see what to watch for here, with crown care provided at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
Your tongue tends to notice a new crown before anything else. A freshly restored tooth may feel a little unfamiliar for a while, and short-lived sensitivity or gum tenderness is not unusual. What should not be brushed aside is a bite that lands too heavily, because that is meant to be corrected at the clinic instead of being left to sort itself out.
Knowing which sensations are worth reporting makes the whole process less worrying. If you are still deciding on treatment, reading this now means you will know what lies beyond placement day. Assessment, fitting and any follow-up take place at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.

It is expected to improve. If it does not, or seems to be getting worse, please call.
A tooth that hits first needs an adjustment instead of a wait-and-see approach.
A crown still needs brushing and between-the-teeth cleaning along its edge.
No list can cover every mouth, and you are always welcome to ask. Still, these general categories can help you decide what to keep an eye on.
These can be common after treatment and are generally expected to ease. Contact us if they are not getting better.
These suggest something may need to be checked or adjusted, and you do not have to wait for your next exam.
These are general pointers only. If what you feel does not match either list, or you are simply unsure, describing it to the clinic is the sensible step.
Before life with a crown comes the treatment itself. Most custom crowns are completed in stages, and the timing varies with the material and your treatment plan.
Request your visitTo begin, the dentist checks your tooth and root along with your gums and bite, referring to appropriate X-rays, and confirms if a crown fits.
Once numbed, the tooth is shaped to accept its crown. The clinic then captures a scan or impression plus your bite and shade.
A short-term crown may protect the tooth during production. It calls for more careful cleaning, and sticky foods should wait.
Try-in is the time for fit, contacts, bite and appearance to be examined. Then come any final adjustments, followed by cementation.
Instructions are easier to follow when you have asked for them directly. Before you leave the placement appointment, check that you understand what to expect and how to reach the clinic.
Before treatment, ask about estimated costs and bring your insurance or CDCP details, so your attention can stay on the crown on placement day.

Your teeth are remarkably good at sensing small differences. If something feels off once you are home and eating normally, it is worth mentioning, even when it seems too minor to bother anyone about.
As fit and bite are checked, tell the dentist if anything feels tight or uneven.
Slight bite or fit problems are valid reasons to call, even when they cause no pain.
If a reaction to temperature or pressure lingers, report how it has changed over time.
Months and years from now
After the unfamiliar feeling has passed, it is easy to forget the crown is there. That is a good thing, as long as the tooth and gums around it still get regular attention.
The line between crown and tooth is where natural structure stays exposed to decay, so give it deliberate attention.
Attending the examinations recommended for you allows the crown, tooth and gums to be monitored together.
Tell us about clenching, grinding or an injury, because these can affect how long a crown serves you.
A crown has no set lifespan. Supporting tooth, bite, grinding, hygiene, material and new decay can all influence how it holds up.

Helpful details about dental crowns in Northwood.
Ask our teamPeople differ, and there is no set timeline. Any temporary sensitivity or tenderness should improve. If the feeling is not easing, or your bite seems off, contact the clinic.
Ask the dentist at your placement appointment, because instructions can depend on the tooth and the materials used. That way, you will leave knowing what applies to you.
Some short-term sensitivity can occur. Mention it if it is not improving as expected, since a nerve can sometimes become inflamed before or after a crown is placed.
The crown material itself cannot decay. Natural tooth at and beneath the margin can, which explains why brushing and cleaning between teeth matter as much as before.
Shade information guides how the crown is made, and appearance is checked at the try-in stage. If the look concerns you, say so before it is cemented.
Please do not wait to find out. A bite that contacts too heavily should be checked and adjusted, so contact the clinic to explain what you are noticing.
