A crown sits right at the gum line, so the health of your gums is part of the plan. Weston residents with bleeding or tender gums can read how this is weighed at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
When a tooth needs attention, the gums around it can be easy to overlook. They matter, though, because a crown’s edge rests close to them, and the tissue there is part of the foundation the restoration will rely on. If your gums bleed when you brush, feel puffy or have started to look different, that is worth bringing up before any crown is planned.
At Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, the assessment for a crown takes in the gums alongside the tooth, root and bite. Sometimes gum concerns may need attention of their own, and the dentist can explain how that would fit in. Ask what they see, and what it may mean for the order of your care.
Explore dental crowns
A crown is checked against what surrounds it, and the gums are in that group.
If your gums bleed, feel sore or look changed, mention it to the dentist.
The place where a crown meets the gum needs consistent cleaning for years to come.
A damaged tooth may be the reason you came in, but it is only part of what the dentist considers. These are the areas that tend to shape the conversation.
Gum tissue has its own story to tell, and it can influence how crown care should proceed.
Coverage is considered when a tooth has been weakened by damage, and when the rest of the foundation can back it up.
Your dentist will consider both together, since a suitable crown plan depends on tissue as well as tooth, and may explain which needs attention first.
Crowns made for an individual tooth generally need careful preparation and records, then a separate placement appointment. The gap between them varies by material and plan.
Request your visitTooth, root, gums and bite each get evaluated with suitable X-rays. After that, your dentist can tell you whether a crown is appropriate now.
Local anesthetic comes first, followed by shaping of the tooth. Next comes a scan or impression, with a bite record and information about shade.
A temporary may be placed for the waiting period. Clean along its gum line softly, as you were shown, and avoid anything sticky that could dislodge it.
Your dentist assesses the fit, contacts, bite and appearance, and adjusts what is needed. Final cementation closes out the treatment.
You do not need to diagnose anything. Simply describe what you have seen or felt, including when it started, and be open about how often you are able to brush and floss.
Asking for an estimate helps too, particularly if gum care may be discussed as well. Bring along your insurance or CDCP details to compare with your plan.
Two framed paintings in the waiting area, and plants on the reception counter.
If your gums are already sensitive, the idea of having work done close to them can make you tense. Tell the dentist where it is sore, and let them know if you would like to hear about each step first.
Your gums can feel tender for a while after preparation, and this should improve.
Local anesthetic is normally part of shaping the tooth, and you may notice a sense of pressure.
Arrange a simple hand signal, in case you need to ask for a break during treatment.
Protecting the crown line
Gum changes are one of the things that can affect how well a crown holds up. Keeping the area clean, reporting problems and going to recommended exams all give the tooth a better chance.
Decay can start in natural tooth near the margin, so take your time along the edge where the crown and gum come together.
Interdental cleaning reaches what a brush misses. If floss keeps tearing or your gums keep bleeding, call to have it looked at.
Your dental team monitors the crown, the tooth and the gums at the exams that have been recommended for you.
If you see gums pulling back around a crown or notice any swelling, contact the clinic to have the area checked.

Helpful details about dental crowns in Weston.
Ask our teamBleeding gums do not automatically rule one out, but they are something the dentist will want to look at. They can tell you whether anything should be addressed before a crown goes ahead.
That depends on what the examination finds. Ask whether your gums should be managed first, and how treatment of the tooth would then be timed.
Temporary gum tenderness can happen after preparation and should get better. If it does not improve as expected, let the clinic know.
Several things could be responsible, including how the area is being cleaned or a change in the tissue. Get in touch so that the dentist can take a look.
Gum changes are among the factors that can influence how long a crown lasts, along with supporting tooth, bite and new decay. No fixed lifespan applies to all crowns.
