When a damaged tooth has caused enough trouble, taking it out can sound like the simple answer. Park View residents can compare that thought with a crown before visiting our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
There is nothing unreasonable in asking this. A crown takes more than one visit and costs real money, while an extraction can look like a clean ending to the problem. What that view can leave out is what comes after a tooth is gone, including the empty space and any decision about whether to fill it.
Neither path is right for every tooth. When a sound foundation remains, a crown can protect what you have and let you keep chewing on your own root. When the root or surrounding support cannot be relied upon, removal may be the more sensible course. A dentist at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg can examine the tooth and compare both choices with you.
Explore dental crowns
If the tooth can dependably support one, a crown lets you hold on to the natural tooth underneath.
Removing a tooth raises the separate question of whether and how to replace it, which is worth weighing now.
A tooth with an unreliable foundation may not be a good candidate, and your dentist can explain why.
Comparing only the first appointment can be misleading. It helps to think through the whole path, from today’s treatment to whatever you would be managing years from now.
This route depends on the tooth, root and gums being strong enough for the crown to have stable support.
This route resolves the tooth itself, then raises other questions about the space that it used to fill.
Costs can look different when compared over the full course of care. Ask for estimates that include any replacement you are considering, rather than just the first step.
A custom crown is generally a preparation visit and a placement visit, once an assessment has confirmed the tooth is suitable. Timing relies on the material and plan.
Request your visitThat is the central question. A review of the tooth, root, gums and bite, with X-rays as appropriate, is how a dentist goes about answering it.
After freezing, the tooth is shaped for coverage. Then a scan or impression, a record of the bite and information about shade are gathered.
A short-term crown may cover what has been prepared, to keep it safe and to hold spacing. Take care with it, and do not eat sticky foods on it.
Your completed crown is tried on. Fit, contacts, bite and appearance are reviewed and adjusted as needed, and it is then cemented in place.
You do not need to arrive with your decision made. Going in with a few direct questions makes it more likely you will come away able to compare your options on real terms.
Please tell your dentist what is driving your thinking, whether that is cost, repeated pain or simply being tired of a problem tooth. It can shape the conversation.
Reception with its blue wall, and a shoreline painting in a consultation room.
Repeated trouble with the same tooth wears anyone down, and frustration may be part of why extraction sounds appealing. You can say so plainly. Your dentist can then explain how each option would address what has been bothering you.
Local anesthetic is normally used for crown preparation. Ask how comfort would be handled for an extraction too.
Unless the tooth is urgent, ask whether you can think the options over at home first.
Tell your dentist what has happened with this tooth so far, since it forms part of the picture.
Living with the choice
A saved tooth and a replaced tooth both call for routine care in the years that follow. The details differ, and knowing them now helps you compare your options honestly.
Decay can begin at the crown margin, so clean carefully there. Contact the clinic about movement, a high bite or sensitivity that does not ease.
Follow the healing instructions you receive and call the clinic with any concerns. Then go back to the question of what to do about the space.
The rest of your mouth still benefits from thorough brushing, cleaning between the teeth and the examinations recommended for you.
Crowns have no fixed lifespan, and a crowned tooth might need further treatment or eventual removal. Ask about what that could mean in your situation.

Ask our teamThe first step may cost less, but replacing the tooth can add to that later. Ask for estimates that follow each route through, as the comparison depends on your plan.
Often that is worth considering, if the tooth can be relied upon. Keeping healthy structure is weighed against how dependable the restoration would be.
You cannot tell that from the outside. A dentist reviews the remaining tooth, root and gums, usually with X-rays, to assess whether it has dependable support.
It depends on the location and your bite. Ask your dentist what they would expect for this tooth, and how that would affect your options later on.
Yes, if it ever became necessary. Crowned teeth can develop new problems, and your dentist would go through the options with you at that time.
Tooth extractions are among the services listed on this site. Ask your dentist whether removal would be suitable and how it would be arranged.
