If the tooth in question has been treated before, its past matters. St. Andrews residents can use this page to gather that history ahead of a crown assessment on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
Plenty of teeth that end up being considered for a crown have already been through something: a big filling, a fracture, internal treatment. Knowing roughly what happened and when gives the dentist useful background, even though the examination itself decides what is suitable.
St. Andrews is outside the City of Winnipeg, and residents come into Winnipeg for this care, which is provided at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. Sorting out your history before that first trip is a small job that can make the conversation in the chair more productive.
Explore dental crowns
Dates can be approximate. What was done to this tooth, and roughly when, is the part that helps.
Having the name and number of your last dental office handy makes a records question simple to answer.
Old notes are background. Tooth, root, gums and bite are still evaluated before a crown is confirmed.
Gaps and rough dates are fine here. Think of it as a short summary of why this particular tooth has come to need attention.
Restorations give clues about how much natural structure may be left beneath the surface.
Recent changes tell a dentist what prompted the visit, and they often shape which questions come first.
Your recollection guides the conversation but cannot show the tooth’s present condition. X-rays and an examination are what establish that.
A custom crown usually takes clinical preparation, detailed records of the tooth and a later appointment to place it. The material and overall plan influence how far apart those stages fall.
Request your visitWhat you have shared sits alongside a current evaluation of root, gums, bite and tooth, using whichever X-rays are appropriate. Only then is a crown confirmed as suitable.
Once numb, the tooth is reduced and shaped. A digital scan or an impression follows, along with shade details and a bite record for the lab work.
A temporary may go on so the shaped tooth stays protected and neighbouring spacing holds. Sticky foods are out, and cleaning around it should be gentle.
Appearance, contacts, fit and bite each get checked with the crown in place. Any adjusting comes first, and cementation comes last.
Whether earlier records would be useful depends on the tooth and on what they contain. Rather than assuming either way, raise it when you request your visit.
It also helps to find out how your own crown details will be recorded here, in case you ever need them in the future.
An orchid on the reception counter, and pale blue upholstery in a treatment room.
Some people feel awkward about a tooth with a patchwork of past repairs, or about gaps in what they can remember. Neither should stop you. Start with what you know, and leave the rest to be learned from the examination.
If you cannot recall who treated a tooth or what they did, just say that. It is a perfectly common answer.
An old repair does not change the usual approach of numbing the tooth first, though pressure or vibration may still be felt as it is shaped.
An earlier visit that went badly is relevant too, so mention whatever made it hard.
Adding to the record
Afterward, the natural tooth at the margin remains able to decay, even though crown material itself cannot. Long-term results also rest on grinding, bite, how much supporting structure exists and how well the area is cleaned.
Jot down which tooth was crowned and when. Your future self will be glad to have this next time someone asks.
Brush thoroughly where the crown meets the tooth, and clean between those teeth every day as well.
Attending recommended exams allows the gums, crown and tooth beneath to be monitored over time.
Report a high bite, movement, repeated floss shredding, food trapping or sensitivity that is not settling as expected.

Helpful details about dental crowns in St. Andrews.
Ask our teamNot at all. Tell the dentist what you can. An examination and appropriate X-rays will show a good deal about its current state.
You can request an assessment without them. Ask the clinic whether any earlier images would help in your case, and how they could be obtained.
The recommendation depends partly on how much healthy structure remains and why the tooth was weakened. Earlier fillings and internal treatment are part of that picture.
Yes, you can ask to have it looked at. Describe what you have noticed, such as movement, trapped food or a change in sensitivity, when you make your request.
That is a question for the dentist, who decides which images are appropriate after looking at what you have and at the tooth.
Note it briefly on the form, or say so when you phone (204) 338-3003. A line such as this tooth was treated at another office is plenty to start with.
