Floss that shreds, food stuck in the same spot, a bite that suddenly feels different. If an existing crown is bothering you in Riverbend, those signs are worth having examined.
Let's find a time
Crowns are built to be durable, but they are not set-and-forget. Decay can begin at the edge where crown meets tooth, gums can change, and the nerve inside may become inflamed even after placement. Often the first hint is minor: a catching sensation, lingering sensitivity, or a feeling that the bite has shifted.
An examination helps show what is behind the symptom, and whether the crown needs an adjustment, replacing, or simply watching. Riverbend residents can have that examination at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, and if a new crown is called for, the work is done there too.
Explore dental crowns
Shredded floss, trapped food, movement or a raised bite are all worth mentioning.
X-rays can help the dentist assess the root and tooth under the existing restoration.
If a crown has started to move, please phone the clinic and explain what you are noticing.
A symptom gives a hint rather than a diagnosis. Still, knowing the possibilities can help you describe what is happening and ask sensible questions.
Make a note of what happens and when, because those details help guide the examination.
Your dentist checks the restoration as well as the tooth and tissues around it to find a likely cause.
The way forward depends on the cause and is decided after assessment. A replacement crown is only one of several possible outcomes.
The first part is detective work. If replacement becomes the plan, a custom crown generally needs a preparation visit, then a later placement visit, on a timeline set by material and plan.
Request your visitDescribe what changed, and when. The dentist examines the crown, tooth, gums and bite, then selects X-rays that would be useful.
You hear what was found and which options make sense. That might mean a simple bite adjustment, watchful monitoring, or further treatment.
With the tooth numbed, it is readied for a new restoration. New records, including a scan or impression, follow, and a temporary may be fitted.
The new crown gets tried on for fit, bite, contacts and appearance. Once those are satisfactory, it is adjusted as needed and cemented.
Symptoms tend to vanish as soon as you sit in the dental chair. Jotting down a few specifics beforehand gives the dentist more to work with.
Costs follow the treatment that is actually needed, so an estimate makes more sense after assessment. Coverage from insurance or CDCP varies by plan.
Our Winnipeg clinic’s waiting area.
A tooth that has been bothering you can make anyone a little guarded. Tell the dentist which spots react, so that the area can be approached with this in mind during your examination.
Pointing with a finger can be more useful than a description when a symptom is hard to explain.
Preparing a tooth for a new crown is normally done with the area numbed by local anesthetic.
Before you leave, make sure you know what the findings mean for this tooth.
Once the problem is sorted
Not all crown problems are preventable, but several of the causes respond to ordinary care. Bring the tooth’s margin into your routine and keep recommended appointments.
Ask how to clean this specific tooth well, including any tricky spots along the gum line.
If bite forces played a role, ask whether a protective appliance is worth considering.
Contact the office whenever the bite, the fit or your sensitivity starts to differ from what is normal for you.
Examinations after treatment give the dentist a regular opportunity to review the tooth and its restoration.

Helpful details about dental crowns in Riverbend.
Ask our teamRepeated shredding is worth reporting, since it can point to an issue at the margin or contact area. An examination is how the actual reason gets identified.
Changes to the crown, the tooth or surrounding teeth may play a role, so have the bite looked at instead of hoping it will pass. The dentist can check and adjust where appropriate.
Yes, you can request an assessment regardless of where your crown was made. If you can get any past records, ask us whether they would be useful.
A nerve may become inflamed before or after placement because of cracks, deep decay, earlier damage or other factors. Your dentist evaluates this using an examination and appropriate X-rays.
Age alone is not the measure. Crowns have no set expiry, so the decision depends on the condition of the crown, the tooth and the gums at the time they are assessed.
Phoning (204) 338-3003 lets you describe the problem directly. For non-urgent concerns, you can also use the request form on this page for a visit to our McPhillips Street clinic.
