Being told you need another crown lands differently when the previous one disappointed you. Parkview Pointe residents can read how to bring that experience to a conversation at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
Perhaps a former crown never felt right, came loose, broke or looked out of place. Perhaps the tooth beneath it went on to need more treatment. Whatever the details, it makes sense to approach another crown with some reluctance, and you do not have to pretend otherwise.
Past trouble is useful information. Tell the dentist at Winnipeg North Dental, on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, what went wrong and how it affected you. Nobody can promise how a crown will perform, and the cause of an earlier problem may never be fully known. What you can do is ask how this tooth compares, what is being checked, and what signs would warrant a call this time.
Explore dental crowns
What went wrong before can direct attention toward the questions that matter most for you.
Support, bite and position vary between teeth, so a new crown begins with its own assessment.
Understanding when fit, contacts, bite and looks are reviewed tells you when to speak up.
Without seeing the old crown, nobody can say with certainty what happened. Still, common categories of problem can give you a way to describe your experience and ask a useful question.
Some difficulties show up right away, or at least soon enough that you can easily connect them to the crown.
Other issues develop over time and may have little to do with the crown’s original fit or quality of work.
Longevity is affected by many things, such as remaining tooth structure, bite, grinding, hygiene, material and new decay. The explanation may not be anyone’s fault, or a single event.
The stages of a custom crown are generally similar each time, and each provides a chance to raise what concerned you. Their spacing still varies with material and plan.
Request your visitAs tooth, root, gums, bite and any appropriate X-rays are reviewed, describe your earlier experience. This helps set the conversation about this new tooth.
Following numbing and preparation, a scan or impression, bite record and shade are taken. If colour was the last issue, say so while shade is discussed.
While you wear a temporary, try to note how the tooth feels. It is protective and short-term, so avoid sticky foods and clean around it gently.
Fit, contacts, bite and appearance are all checked before final cementation. If something is reminding you of the past problem, this is the time to say it.
You will not need to remember everything, and nobody expects dental terminology from you. A plain description of what happened and what it was like for you is enough to get started.
If records of your earlier crown exist at another office, ask how they could be requested, and whether they would be helpful in your case.
A consultation room with a coastal painting, and a blue bench by reception.
Earlier disappointment can make you tense even before you sit down. Mention it, so your dentist understands where you are coming from. If a poor experience with numbing was part of it, raise that specifically too.
Say whether comfort, looks or durability bothered you the most, so the conversation starts there.
You can ask what your dentist will be looking at on this crown and when each check occurs.
If your new bite or shade reminds you of what you disliked, you can say so at the time.
If a problem starts again
It is easy to put up with a small problem, especially if you have learned to expect them from crowns. But it is much better for something like a high spot to be reviewed rather than endured.
A bite that feels high should be adjusted, not tolerated. Tell the clinic about it even if you dealt with the same feeling before.
Thorough brushing and daily cleaning between teeth protect the margin, which is the part of the natural tooth still open to decay.
Going to recommended examinations means that a crown, tooth and gums can be looked at periodically, even when nothing feels wrong.
If grinding contributed to your earlier trouble, ask if a protective appliance is worth considering this time.

Helpful details about dental crowns in Parkview Pointe.
Ask our teamNot necessarily. Each tooth has its own support, bite and history. Your dentist can tell you how this tooth compares, without being able to predict the future exactly.
Perhaps, if the crown or tooth can still be examined, but sometimes a clear reason cannot be identified. It is still useful for the dentist to hear what you remember.
Yes, as it adds context, and there is no need to be concerned about it. It is enough to describe what happened from your own point of view.
No. Depending on the tooth, a filling, onlay or other approach may be worth comparing. Ask which options the findings leave open for you.
Speak up at each stage, report concerns early, and keep up with cleaning and examinations. If grinding was a factor, ask whether protection against it is suitable.
