Where in north Winnipeg can I get a dental crown?+

I cracked a tooth. Does that automatically mean a crown?+
Not automatically. Cracks can call for reinforcement and a new chewing surface, but the dentist has to examine the tooth and foundation before saying a crown is suitable.
What should I do if the cracked tooth is painful?+
Please phone the clinic and describe what is happening rather than sending the online form, so the concern can be discussed by voice.
How many appointments does a crown take?+
Most custom crowns involve a visit for preparation and records and then a later visit for placement. Ask how your material and plan affect the schedule.
What is it about a temporary crown that needs extra care?+
It is a short-term cover, so skip sticky foods and use a lighter touch when cleaning. It guards the prepared tooth, holds the spacing and lets you function in the meantime.
Does the appointment use freezing?+
Yes, local anesthetic is normally used when the tooth is prepared. Pressure and vibration can still be felt while the numbing is working.
