Keeping your mouth open for a long stretch can be the hardest part of dental work if your jaw gets sore or stiff. For Pembina residents facing a crown, this page explains which parts of treatment ask the most of your jaw, and what you might raise beforehand at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street.
Let's find a time
Crown treatment has a few phases where the dentist needs clear access to the tooth: shaping it, then capturing its new form with a scan or impression. Placement involves trying the crown in, checking how you close, and cementing. If your jaw clicks, tightens or aches with effort, it helps the team to know this before work begins.
Pembina is in Winnipeg, and patients there are cared for at our McPhillips Street clinic. You do not need to explain the cause of your jaw trouble. Simply describing what happens when you open wide for a while gives the dentist useful information while planning your visits.

Mentioning jaw stiffness when you request a visit means it is known before your tooth is prepared.
It is reasonable to ask whether you can signal for a moment to close and rest during treatment.
If your jaw is sensitive, a crown that meets too firmly may be especially noticeable, so report it.
A crown covers the visible surface of a tooth when a filling would not provide enough strength. It restores shape and gives you a chewing surface designed around your bite.
Crowns are often discussed when a tooth faces higher risk of breaking down further.
These observations can help shape how treatment is approached for you.
A web page cannot look at your tooth or your jaw. Describe both at your appointment, and the examination will show whether coverage is right.
Your jaw is asked to work at two main sittings: the one where the tooth is shaped and recorded, and a later one where the finished crown goes on. How far apart they fall hinges on what the crown is made of and on your plan.
Request your visitThe dentist examines the tooth, root, gums and bite, along with appropriate X-rays, before confirming that a crown is the right choice. Mention your jaw here.
With the tooth frozen, it is shaped, and a scan or impression records it. A bite record and shade details are also taken at this visit.
In the interval, a stand-in cover may guard the shaped tooth and keep its neighbours from drifting. Soft chewing suits it, and toffee-like foods do not.
The crown is tried in, and you will close on it a few times so contacts and bite can be refined before it is cemented.
Raising these in advance lets you both plan around your comfort. Frame them as questions, since what is possible depends on the treatment.
If your jaw is painful or locking right now, phone the clinic and describe what is happening.
White chairs and plants by a window, and the reception counter beside a wooden floor.
The tooth itself is ordinarily frozen before shaping, which tends to leave a dull push or buzz rather than pain. Jaw fatigue is a separate matter, and saying when you need a break is entirely fair.
Before the shaping starts, you could ask whether lifting a hand will work as your cue that the jaw needs a short rest.
Once you are home, give your jaw an easy evening, and some tooth sensitivity or gum soreness may also appear briefly.
A tired jaw can make it harder to judge the bite, so describe anything unusual during checks.
In the weeks after
Your jaw may forget the visit quickly, but the seam where crown and natural tooth join needs attention for years, because that natural edge is still open to decay. Daily brushing, flossing or similar cleaning, and regular exams keep watch over it.
A crown that hits before your other teeth should be adjusted rather than left for your jaw to compensate.
Heavy forces affect crown longevity, so ask whether an appliance could reduce the strain on it.
Routine visits are when the crown’s fit and the health around it can be reviewed over the years.
Contact the clinic if the crown moves, feels tall, traps food, frays floss, or sensitivity does not improve as you were told it would.

Ask our teamUsually the preparation appointment, because the tooth is shaped and then scanned or impressed. Placement involves try-in, bite checks and cementing.
That is a good thing to ask before you begin. Agreeing on a hand signal ahead of time makes it easy to let the dentist know you need a moment.
Some people find their jaw feels tired after a long visit. Tooth sensitivity or tender gums can also occur afterward and should settle.
Call the clinic. A crown that contacts too heavily should be checked and adjusted, not left for your bite to get used to.
Yes. Deep decay, cracks or earlier damage can inflame the nerve either before or after a crown is placed.
