Teeth pressed together through the night, or all through a stressful workday, can take on a lot of force. Waterford Green residents can ask how that force fits into a larger restorative picture.
Let's find a time
Plenty of people only learn they clench when a tooth chips or a filling gives way. Over the years, heavy pressure can flatten chewing surfaces and strain older dental work. If several teeth are now affected, rebuilding them without studying how they meet leaves the same pressure aimed at the new work.
Reconstruction coordinates several treatments rather than naming one procedure, and many people with signs of clenching will never need it. Waterford Green is in Winnipeg, and residents have this assessed at our clinic on McPhillips Street, where the condition of your teeth and bite guides what gets suggested.
Explore full-mouth reconstruction
A bite analysis looks at how your jaws come together and which teeth absorb the most load.
Pain, infection and fracture risk are sorted out ahead of any final restorations.
You can ask whether a night guard belongs in your maintenance once the work is finished.
Wear offers clues, though it rarely explains itself. One list below covers what you might notice for yourself, and the other covers what an examination is meant to sort out.
None of these confirms clenching on its own, yet together they are worth mentioning when you describe your concerns.
Records are chosen according to the complexity of your case, so this list may be longer or shorter for you.
Wear on its own does not mean a full reconstruction is needed. Smaller approaches may suit some mouths, and the dentist decides what is appropriate after examining yours.
Exact order differs from one person to the next. Heavily worn mouths often move through something resembling these stages, with reviews along the way.
Request your visitA cracked tooth that hurts, or an infection, gets attention well before any discussion of final crowns.
Decay and gum disease are brought under control, because strong restorations still need healthy support around them.
Provisional restorations may be used for a period, showing how a changed bite handles everyday chewing and comfort.
Definitive work follows in planned stages, and upkeep may then include hygiene visits, bite reviews and appliance care.
Many clenchers have no idea when it happens. Paying attention during a normal week can give your assessment something more specific than a general suspicion.
If a tooth has broken or a sharp pain has appeared, phone the clinic and leave the note-taking for later.

Sitting with your mouth open can be tiring when your jaw is already working hard. Letting us know about soreness gives everyone a chance to discuss how appointments might go.
Say where your jaw feels tired and when it tends to bother you, even if the pattern seems minor.
How long a visit runs and whether your plan could use shorter ones are fair things to bring up.
Hearing what a bite record or scan involves before it starts might help you settle into it.
Living with a rebuilt bite
Treatment does not automatically end clenching, which makes the long stretch after completion important. Monitoring gives you a way to catch change early.
If a night guard is recommended, ask how to clean it and what to do if it stops fitting well.
Contact between teeth can shift over time, so checks on your bite and restorations may form part of your upkeep.
Implants and crowns still depend on healthy gums, and special cleaning tools may be suggested for tricky areas.
Noticing a restoration that suddenly feels high or has cracked is a good reason to phone rather than wait for your review.

Helpful details about full-mouth reconstruction in Waterford Green.
Ask our teamYou may not know for certain. Wear patterns, damaged restorations and your own observations can all offer clues, and these can be discussed when your teeth and bite are examined.
That depends on the teeth, the materials and how forces are distributed, which is why the bite is studied first. Ask what is being done to protect your restorations, and what could still put them at risk.
It might be for some people, especially when damage is limited. Others have broken or failing teeth that an appliance cannot repair. Which applies to you is decided after an examination.
It could be, but jaw discomfort has many possible causes, so clenching should not be assumed. Describe the soreness at your appointment and ask what the examination does and does not suggest.
They can. When provisional care is used, it gives you and the dentist a chance to evaluate bite and comfort ahead of the definitive stage. Not every plan calls for this.
Certainly. Certainty is not a requirement for asking. Fill in the form on this page or phone (204) 338-3003, and the assessment would take place at our McPhillips Street clinic.
These overviews explain common repairs in general terms. Whether any of them suits your situation is a separate matter, settled through assessment.
