Can a tooth holding my partial have a filling?+
Often it can, depending on how much of the tooth remains and the forces it handles. An examination will show whether a filling is suitable, or if more support is worth considering.
Will my partial still fit after a filling?+
It depends on where the repair is. A filling in contact with a clasp or rest could make a difference, so ask beforehand and tell us afterward if anything feels different.
Can decay happen under a clasp?+
Yes, it’s possible, since these are places where plaque and food can linger. Decay can also develop without pain, which is why regular examinations are so valuable.
If my partial was made elsewhere, can you still look at my teeth?+
You’re welcome to ask for an examination. Let us know where and when it was made, if you recall, as it can help with understanding how the appliance is working.
My partial is rubbing a tooth. Could that need a filling?+
Rubbing could be related to several things, so have it looked at. Wear, a rough edge or a problem with the appliance may each lead to a different solution.
What’s the way for Linden Woods residents with a partial to request a filling visit?+
Mention your partial in the form request, or call (204) 338-3003. The examination and any filling would take place at our clinic on McPhillips Street.
