The short version

Custom Crowns at Our North Winnipeg Clinic

Winnipeg North Dental is a clinic in the northern part of the city, and crown care for Winnipeg North patients is carried out right here on McPhillips Street. A crown is a custom cover for the visible part of a tooth, used when cracks, wear or lost structure have left it short on strength.

Beyond protecting what remains, it gives you a new surface to chew on and restores the tooth’s shape. Whether yours is a candidate comes down to an examination, because the dentist needs to see the extent of the damage and the condition of everything supporting it.

One clear address

All stages of your crown care happen at the clinic in Unit 5 on McPhillips Street.

Made for one tooth

Each crown is produced from a scan or impression, a bite record and shade information.

A steady sequence

Assessment, preparation, temporary protection and final placement follow a set order.

What a crown is for

Strength for a damaged tooth, plus a working surface.

Think of the job in two halves. One half shields a tooth that has become fragile, and the other returns the shape and chewing ability it has lost.

The protective job

Full coverage helps reinforce a tooth that has been weakened and is carrying more risk.

  • Reinforces teeth that have cracked or worn down substantially.
  • Adds support where a tooth has more filling material than natural structure.
  • Can lower the chance of fracture in a back tooth treated with root canal therapy.
  • Encloses all of the tooth that shows above the gum.

The rebuilding job

The finished crown is shaped to work with your bite and to sit naturally among your other teeth.

  • Provides a new chewing surface designed around how your teeth meet.
  • Restores a shape lost to damage or wear.
  • Uses shade information so the colour relates to neighbouring teeth.
  • Gets checked for fit and contact before it is permanently placed.

A crown is only one possible repair, and the dentist decides what suits your tooth after assessing it in person.

Step by step

Here is what happens, in order.

A custom crown usually involves a preparation appointment and a separate placement appointment. How much time falls between them varies with the material and plan.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Examine the tooth

    We look over the tooth, its root, your gums and your bite, and take suitable X-rays, before confirming a crown is the right fit.

  2. 02

    Numb and prepare

    With the area numbed, the dentist shapes the tooth. A scan or impression follows, along with records of your bite and shade.

  3. 03

    Wear a temporary

    You may leave with a temporary covering while your permanent crown is produced. It asks for softer habits at meals and careful cleaning.

  4. 04

    Place the final crown

    At the second visit, fit, contacts, bite and appearance get a final review. Once any fine-tuning is done, the crown is cemented.

To get ready

Bring what you know about the tooth.

A few details help the first appointment go smoothly, particularly if the tooth broke recently or you can pinpoint when the trouble began.

Costs vary by treatment and your plan decides any coverage. To plan ahead, ask the clinic for an estimate when you request your visit.

Helpful to have with you

  • Any medications you take, along with health changes since your last dental visit.
  • Roughly when the crack, chip or break happened, if you know.
  • Insurance or CDCP information, where it applies to you.
  • Notes on foods or temperatures that make the tooth react.

During preparation

What it tends to feel like.

Local anesthetic is the normal starting point for shaping the tooth. You may be aware of vibration and pressure while it works, and your gums or tooth can feel temporarily tender later on.

Say what you notice

Anything sharp or unexpected during treatment is worth mentioning straight away.

Ask before starting

A quick rundown of what the next few steps involve is yours for the asking.

Expect some settling

Short-term sensitivity after treatment should improve, so tell us if it is not heading that way.

After placement

How to look after the new crown.

Daily cleaning and periodic examinations remain necessary, because decay can still form on the natural tooth where it meets the crown’s margin.

01

Brush and clean between

Pay proper attention to the crown’s edge each day and to the spaces either side of it.

02

Come back as advised

Examinations give the dentist a chance to review how the crown, tooth and gums are doing.

03

Call about a high bite

A crown that hits too heavily should be checked and adjusted, not left for the tooth to get used to.

Has your crown started to move, or does food keep catching around it? Phone the clinic so it can be looked at.

Where in north Winnipeg can I get a dental crown?

Crown treatment is available at Winnipeg North Dental, Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6. Send a request through this page or dial (204) 338-3003 to get started.

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.
