Hearing that two or three teeth may need crowns can feel like a lot to take in. Sinclair Park residents can use this page to sort out what to ask at our McPhillips Street clinic, one tooth at a time.
Let's find a time
A mouth rarely wears out evenly, so it is not unusual for a few teeth to raise concern around the same time. Each one has its own reason: a broad old filling here, a crack there, a molar treated with a root canal some time ago. Those reasons are not equally pressing, and that is worth knowing before you worry about the whole list.
At Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, the dentist looks at each tooth on its own terms. Some may suit a crown, while others could be served by a filling, an onlay or simply watching. Ask which tooth concerns the dentist most, and why, so you understand the order of things rather than just the total.
Explore dental crowns
Every recommendation has its own reasoning, and you can ask to hear it for each tooth.
Pain, cracks and very thin walls may change what the dentist wants to look at soonest.
Raise your budget and calendar openly so sequencing can be part of the discussion.
Two teeth that both look worn may call for quite different answers. These are some of the things that can separate them when the dentist goes through the list with you.
Some findings suggest a tooth is carrying more risk than its neighbours. Ask whether any of these apply to you.
A crown is full coverage, and not all teeth need that much. A smaller repair may be weighed for some of them.
Suitability is settled through examination, one tooth at a time, so the number of crowns you first heard about may or may not match the eventual recommendation.
Most custom crowns involve preparation, detailed records and a separate placement visit. If more than one is planned, ask how the appointments could be arranged, since timing varies with material and plan.
Request your visitYour dentist examines the teeth in question, along with roots, gums and bite, and uses suitable X-rays to confirm where a crown makes sense.
Once frozen, a tooth is shaped, then a scan or impression captures its form. A record of your bite and shade details help guide the lab work.
A temporary may sit on the shaped tooth until its custom crown is ready. Sticky foods are off the menu, and cleaning should stay gentle around it.
Contacts, fit, bite and appearance are all reviewed at the try-in. After any adjusting, the finished crown is cemented.
The dentist knows the teeth, and you know your life. Think about what matters to you, such as what you can comfortably spend this year or which tooth bothers you day to day, and say so plainly.
Costs depend on the treatment recommended. Ask for an estimate that lists each tooth, and bring your insurance or CDCP information so you can check how your plan treats that work.

It is fair to feel discouraged by a long list of dental work. You can ask for the findings to be explained slowly, take time to think, and come back with questions before agreeing to anything.
Ask the dentist to show you what was found on each tooth, in terms that make sense to you.
Unless something is urgent, you can ask how long a decision about each tooth could reasonably wait.
Local anesthetic is normally used while a tooth is prepared, and you may notice some pressure or vibration.
Once the first crown is on
Finishing one crown can make it easy to forget the others. Stay in touch about what remains, and keep caring for every crown edge the same way you care for your natural teeth.
A tooth that was put on hold can still change, so recommended exams matter for the ones you have not treated.
Decay cannot form in the crown itself, though it can begin in natural tooth at its edge, so brushing and interdental cleaning still count.
When a new crown hits too heavily, contact the clinic to have it checked instead of waiting to get used to it.
If your priorities shift, or a tooth on the waiting list starts to bother you, bring that up with the clinic.

Helpful details about dental crowns in Sinclair Park.
Ask our teamThat depends on the teeth involved and your plan. Ask the dentist whether they could be handled together or in stages, and what each approach would mean for you.
Ask directly at your assessment. The dentist can explain which findings are of most concern and why, which gives you something concrete to base your decision on.
Possibly. A filling can work when the remaining tooth is able to support a smaller repair, and an onlay may be considered for some back teeth. Examination decides which applies.
Ask for it to be broken down that way when you request one. Total cost depends on what is recommended, and coverage depends on your own plan.
They still need brushing and cleaning between the teeth, with attention to each margin. If adjoining crowns are hard to reach around, ask for guidance that fits your mouth.
