Biting down to find your crown shifting, or feeling it come away altogether, is unsettling. Old Kildonan residents should call first, then have the tooth assessed at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
Your first move is a call to the clinic. Say whether the crown is moving or has come off, whether you still have it, and whether anything hurts. Ask what to do with it and how to look after the area until you can be seen. A crown that moves is something we want to hear about, even if it does not hurt.
From there, the question becomes why it happened. The crown itself may be intact while the tooth beneath it has changed, or there may be new decay, a fracture, or an issue with the bite. Those possibilities are sorted out by examination at Winnipeg North Dental, on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, and the answer shapes what comes next.

A phone call is the fastest way to explain a crown problem, more so than the online form.
If the crown has come off, ask the clinic what to do with it when you call.
The tooth under the crown gets examined as well, because that is often where the answer lies.
Rather than focusing on the crown alone, your dentist considers the whole restoration, the tooth supporting it, and the forces it has been under.
A crown depends on the tooth beneath it, so changes in that tooth or in the surrounding tissue can affect how securely it sits.
Your examination covers both the restoration and its surroundings, using whichever diagnostic records are appropriate.
Whether a crown can go back on or needs replacing depends on these findings. Your dentist can explain which applies once the tooth has been seen.
If your existing crown cannot be reused, a replacement usually takes preparation, records and a later placement. Timing is shaped by the material and treatment plan.
Request your visitTell the clinic what moved or came off and how the tooth feels. They can explain what to do next and talk with you about being seen.
The dentist looks at the crown, the supporting tooth, the root, your gums and bite, with X-rays where appropriate, and decides what is suitable.
The tooth is frozen and reshaped as required. A scan or impression captures it, along with a record of your bite and shade details. A temporary may follow.
A crown is tried in so its fit, contact points, bite and appearance can be judged. After any adjusting, the dentist cements it in place.
You do not need to work out what went wrong, and you do not need to try fixing it. Please phone before attempting any kind of repair at home, and share what you can about the tooth’s history.
The cost depends on whether the tooth needs recementing, a new crown, or other care. Ask for an estimate once that is known, and bring your insurance or CDCP details.
The reception area and a consultation room at the clinic.
An uncovered tooth can feel sharp or unfamiliar to your tongue, and you may feel self-conscious if it shows. These are very understandable concerns to bring up when you call.
If the bare tooth reacts to temperature or touch, say so as soon as you arrive.
Mention any rough spot that catches your tongue or cheek when you describe the problem.
Preparation normally uses local anesthetic, so expect pressure more than anything else.
Keeping it where it belongs
Nobody can promise a crown will never loosen again, but paying attention to the factors behind longevity may help. Your dentist can advise you on what applies to your particular tooth.
Thorough brushing and cleaning between teeth help protect the natural tooth that the crown relies on.
Ask whether grinding plays a part for you, and whether a protective appliance is worth considering.
A crown that seems to rock, or a bite that suddenly changes, deserves a call before it comes off.
Keeping recommended examinations gives the dental team a regular opportunity to review your crown and the tooth supporting it.

Helpful details about dental crowns in Old Kildonan.
Ask our teamPick up the phone and let the clinic know, including whether you have the crown and whether anything hurts. Ask how to take care of the tooth and the crown until you can be seen.
Sometimes that is possible, and sometimes a replacement is more appropriate. It depends on the condition of both the crown and the tooth, which the dentist needs to examine.
Please call the clinic before trying any home repair. The tooth underneath should be assessed, because a crown that came off may point to an issue that needs attention.
A crown that moves should be reported even without pain. Contact the clinic, explain what you are noticing, and ask how soon the tooth should be looked at.
New decay, a change in the supporting tooth, gum changes, bite forces or an injury can all play a part. The examination is meant to find which one applies to you.
You can certainly call to ask about this. Tell the clinic where the crown was placed, if you remember, and explain the problem so they can talk with you about an assessment.
If your crown is loose or off, call (204) 338-3003 and explain the situation. For a less pressing concern, send the form to request a visit at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
