When many teeth have large fillings, old root canals or cracks, each one raises its own question. Kildonan is an area of Winnipeg, and this page looks at how those tooth-by-tooth calls get weighed at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
A rebuilt bite relies on the teeth beneath it. A tooth that looks fine may have a weak root or a deep crack, while one with an ugly old filling could turn out to be sound. Judging each tooth on what is found, not on how it looks, is central to the planning.
These decisions are connected as well. Saving a doubtful tooth can affect whether a bridge is possible next to it, and removing one can change the options on that whole side. Your dentist would need to examine the teeth, roots, gums and bone before any recommendation could be made.
Explore full-mouth reconstruction
How much sound tooth remains after decay, fractures and old repairs shapes what can be done.
Even a sturdy-looking tooth still needs healthy gum and bone holding it up.
Some teeth matter more than others, depending on the work they would be asked to do.
No single finding settles the matter. A dentist considers the condition of the tooth alongside what you want and what the surrounding plan needs from it.
Preserving a tooth is often appealing, particularly when it can realistically be maintained.
Certain problems can make a tooth a less dependable part of a long-term sequence.
These are general considerations and do not amount to a rule. A tooth with one of these findings might still be treatable, so ask what was seen in your own case.
Decisions about individual teeth grow out of the whole assessment, so they may not all arrive at once. Some may wait until earlier care shows how a tooth has responded.
Request your visitPoint out the teeth that hurt, have broken before or have been repaired over and over.
Decay, cracks, roots, gums, bone and existing restorations can all be reviewed, using the records your case calls for.
Some may look dependable, some doubtful and a few urgent, and those groupings can shift as treatment proceeds.
You then see how keeping or losing a tooth changes the options and the order of whatever follows.
The story behind a tooth can be informative. Any details you remember could help the dentist understand what the images alone may not reveal, though there is no need to reconstruct every date.
A tooth that has just fractured, or has become swollen or very painful, should not wait for a planning visit. Call the clinic about it.
A consultation desk with high-backed chairs, and a treatment chair beside wood cabinets.
After years of fillings and crowns on the same tooth, it is natural to feel attached to it, or frustrated at the thought of losing it. Please say so. Knowing how you feel about a given tooth can be part of the discussion about what to do with it.
Find out what would have to go right for a questionable tooth to stay useful.
Understanding what could follow a removal may make the prospect feel less abrupt.
Unless something urgent is involved, ask how long you could reasonably consider your choice.
A tooth you chose to keep
Keeping a tooth is not the end of the story, particularly one that has been heavily treated. Regular review gives you and your dentist a chance to spot changes in it and in the teeth around it.
Tenderness when biting or a new sensitivity on one tooth is worth mentioning at your next contact.
Edges where a restoration meets a tooth deserve steady attention during your daily routine.
Periodic checks of gums, bone and bite help show whether conditions around it are holding.
Should a treated tooth start to ache or swell, telephone instead of holding out until your next review.

Helpful details about full-mouth reconstruction in Kildonan.
Ask our teamRemaining structure, root condition, gum and bone support, and the role that tooth would play in your bite are all weighed, alongside your own wishes. Your examination supplies the answers.
It may be, depending on its current condition and how much of it remains. Ask for it to be evaluated along with the rest, and for an explanation of what was found.
Keeping one is often desirable, but not at any price. A tooth with a poor outlook can complicate treatment around it, so discuss the likely trade-offs for your situation.
Say so, and ask what could happen to neighbouring teeth and later stages if it does not last. Those answers can help you judge whether trying makes sense.
Not necessarily. Plans can change as teeth, gums and bite respond to early phases, so a doubtful tooth may be reconsidered once those results can be seen.
Send the form or phone (204) 338-3003, and mention which teeth concern you. Staff will respond about a time at our clinic in Winnipeg.
