If you play a contact sport, train hard or simply lead a physical life, you may wonder how a crowned tooth will hold up. For Southdale residents with that question, this page looks at impact, clenching and protection, with treatment at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street.
Let's find a time
A crown restores strength and a new chewing surface to a tooth that has been weakened, perhaps by a past blow, a crack or a large filling. Trauma is also one of the factors that affects how long a crown serves you. So for people who play contact sports or clench during heavy effort, thinking about protection is a natural part of the plan.
Southdale is in Winnipeg, and people from there have crowns planned and placed at our McPhillips Street clinic. Mention your sports and training at the assessment. It gives the dentist a fuller sense of the forces your teeth face and opens a conversation about guarding the crown afterward.
Explore dental crowns
Contact sports, weightlifting and other strain all add to the picture of how your teeth are used.
Many people bite down hard while lifting or competing, and that pressure is worth mentioning.
Asking whether a mouthguard or other appliance suits you can help protect both crown and teeth.
When a filling alone would not give a tooth enough support, a crown covers its visible portion and spreads chewing forces across a restored surface.
Several of these can follow a hit to the mouth, though wear and decay play a part too.
These details help the dentist understand the conditions your crown will face.
Your training log tells part of the story, and the examination tells the rest. Material and suitability are settled once the tooth itself has been looked at.
Expect at least two sittings for a custom crown: one to shape and record the tooth, another to place what was made. Material and plan decide how far apart they fall, which helps when you are working around a sports calendar.
Request your visitThe dentist reviews the tooth, root, gums and bite with suitable X-rays, which matters especially if the tooth has taken a blow.
Once freezing takes hold, the dentist trims the tooth to make room for its cover, then gathers a scan or impression, shade details and a bite record for the lab.
A temporary may cover the tooth for now. It is less sturdy, so avoid sticky food and ask whether to pause contact sport until placement.
Before anything is permanent, the new crown is seated and judged for fit, how it touches its neighbours, how you close on it and how it looks, with tweaks made prior to cementing.
If you have games, races or a training block coming up, it is reasonable to ask how treatment fits around them.
If a tooth is broken or knocked loose during play, phone the clinic rather than sending an online request.
A cushioned blue chair in a treatment room, and plants beside a sunlit window.
For someone used to moving, holding still may feel like the hard part. The tooth is ordinarily numbed before shaping, leaving you aware of pushing or a buzz more than pain, and any gum soreness or twinges in the days after should fade.
Giving the tooth a quiet day or two after shaping is sensible, especially before any hard physical effort.
If you catch yourself bracing your jaw in the chair, let it relax, and mention the habit to the dentist.
After an intense workout, a crown that suddenly feels high or sore deserves a call to the clinic.
Keeping it in play
Hard training does nothing for the thin strip of natural tooth bordering your crown, and that strip can still develop cavities. Give it a careful brush and clean between the teeth daily, and keep your exam visits so the whole area is reviewed.
Trauma is one of the things that shortens crown life, so ask whether a guard is right for your sport.
Brushing well and cleaning between teeth helps prevent decay at the border where crown meets tooth.
Even without obvious damage, a blow to a crowned tooth is worth having looked at during your next visit or sooner.
Contact the clinic if your crown shifts, feels high, snags floss, gathers food, or remains sensitive longer than you were told.

Ask our teamRaise this at your assessment, since the answer depends on your sport and your tooth. Trauma affects crown longevity, so ask how to protect the tooth during play.
Asking whether a guard or other protective appliance suits you is sensible, especially if your sport carries a risk of impact.
If it loosens, breaks, feels high or the tooth hurts, phone the clinic. A blow can affect the crown or the tooth beneath it.
A temporary is meant for short-term protection and needs gentle treatment. Ask whether to ease off contact activity until the final crown is placed.
Heavy bite forces and grinding influence how long a crown lasts. Mention the habit so the dentist can factor it into your plan.
