Bit down and felt something give? If you live in Amber Trails and a molar has fractured, find out how a custom onlay or inlay might rebuild it at our Winnipeg clinic.
Let's find a time
Discovering a sharp edge or a missing corner on a back tooth is unsettling. Fractures vary a great deal, though, and a tooth that has lost one section is not automatically a tooth that needs covering completely.
When enough sound structure remains, a custom restoration can replace the part that broke away while the intact portions stay as they are. For Amber Trails residents, that assessment takes place at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street, where the dentist checks how far the damage goes.
Explore inlays & onlays
The visible chip may be only part of the picture, so the examination looks at the whole tooth.
An onlay can extend over a corner of the tooth that has been undermined or lost.
Rebuilding the biting surface is a central aim, with your bite checked before the piece is bonded.
A back tooth chews with raised points called cusps. A break through one of them is a different problem from damage in the groove between them.
Losing a cusp often leads the conversation toward an onlay, a piece that covers the weakened section and rebuilds its shape.
If the walls around a central area are still strong, an inlay may be enough to restore the chewing surface without extending over a cusp.
Cracks can reach further than they appear to. If root health or the amount of remaining tooth is a concern, your dentist will talk through broader options such as a crown.
Once the fracture has been looked at and an inlay or onlay is judged appropriate, the work follows this general order.
Request your visitYour dentist inspects the crack and checks the remaining walls, your bite and the health of the root, then explains what can realistically be saved.
Usually under local anesthetic, weak or damaged material is taken away, leaving a clean form able to support the new piece.
Your prepared tooth, the neighbouring contacts and your bite are captured through scanning or an impression, and a shade is chosen to go with it.
The custom piece is made, checked against your bite, bonded with adhesive and polished. A temporary may cover the tooth until then.
A few simple observations are useful to your dentist. Think about when the break happened, what you were biting, and whether anything has changed since.
A painful or suddenly worse tooth is a reason to phone the clinic, not to wait on an online request.
Where conversations and treatment take place at our McPhillips Street clinic.
You may be favouring one side or worrying about what comes next. Let us know how the tooth has been feeling, and which parts of treatment you would like explained before work begins.
Show the dentist exactly where you feel it. Your description helps guide the examination.
Expect local anesthetic in most cases before the damaged part of the tooth is worked on.
Your tooth may be a little sensitive for a while. This should gradually ease, so report it if it does not.
Protecting the repair
Restored teeth are still subject to heavy forces. A few everyday habits can reduce the strain placed on the repaired area.
Using your teeth to open, tear or hold objects is worth giving up, for this tooth especially.
Clenching or grinding affects how a restoration performs, so raise it with your dentist if you know or suspect you do it.
A high spot, a rough edge, or any shifting of the piece are all reasons to contact the clinic.
Good cleaning along the margins matters too, because the natural tooth around the restoration can still develop new decay.

No. Suitability depends on how deep the crack runs, how much sound tooth is left and the state of the root. Some fractures call for a crown or other care.
Lack of pain does not tell you how far the damage extends, so it is still sensible to have the tooth examined. Call the clinic if anything changes suddenly.
It may offer more controlled shape, contact and support where a direct repair would be extensive. Which of the two is more appropriate depends on what is left of your tooth.
Restoring a comfortable chewing surface is the goal, and your bite is checked before bonding. If it feels high afterward, contact the clinic so it can be looked at.
