If you live in Burrows Central and one tooth keeps needing another patch, it may be time to ask whether a custom inlay or onlay could suit it at our Winnipeg clinic.
Let's find a time
Each new patch on a back tooth seems minor at the time. Over several rounds, though, a filling can grow until it is doing a great deal of the work, and you may begin to wonder whether another direct repair is sensible or merely familiar.
That is a fair question to put to a dentist. A direct filling can become less predictable as the area it must rebuild gets larger, which is one situation where a restoration made outside the mouth may be considered. If you are in Burrows Central, part of Winnipeg, the tooth can be reassessed at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street.
Explore inlays & onlays
How often that tooth has needed repair, and in which spot, is valuable history to share.
Repeated work raises a practical question: how much dependable natural tooth is left underneath?
Controlled shape and contact are among the reasons a custom piece might be preferred for a larger area.
A filling is formed and shaped in the tooth during your appointment. An inlay or onlay is produced from a precise record of the prepared tooth, and it is bonded into place afterward.
Despite its repair history, a tooth might still have solid outer structure, which could make an inlay worth discussing for the central chewing surface.
Work that has gradually spread toward a raised point may leave that area needing more support, and an onlay can extend over it.
Once old material is removed, what lies beneath can alter the plan. A filling or a crown could still turn out to be more appropriate for this tooth.
Should the dentist agree that a custom restoration suits the tooth, this is the general order of treatment.
Request your visitThe dentist listens to the tooth’s story, then evaluates decay, cracks, remaining walls, your bite and root health.
Usually with freezing in place, earlier repair material and any damage are removed so that a clean, supportable design can be made.
An impression or scan shows the prepared area, the teeth touching it and your bite. You also settle on a shade at this point.
Once made, it is checked for fit and bite before being adhesively secured and polished. You may wear a temporary in between.
Exact dates are not necessary. A rough sense of how many times the tooth has been fixed, and what kept failing, gives the examination a useful starting point.
A patch that has just fallen out, or a tooth that has become painful, is a reason to call the clinic and not to wait for a form reply.

Coming back for the same tooth again can be discouraging, and it can make you doubtful of any new recommendation. Share that openly, along with what you would most like to avoid this time.
Seek an explanation of what may be contributing, so that the next decision feels like an informed one.
Local anesthetic is normally part of preparing a tooth, much as you may remember from earlier repairs.
Your restored tooth may be temporarily sensitive, which ought to lessen. Ongoing discomfort is worth reporting.
Giving it a better chance
No material removes every risk. Several everyday factors influence how a restoration holds up, and a few of them are within your control.
Biting thread, caps or wrappers puts unnecessary force on a tooth that already has a long history.
Heavy clenching can affect restorations, so mention it if your jaw often feels tired or you suspect the habit.
Roughness, movement or a bite that feels high are all good reasons to contact the clinic soon.
Careful cleaning at the margins matters as well, since new decay in the surrounding tooth can undermine even a well-fitted repair.

Helpful details about inlays & onlays in Burrows Central.
Ask our teamPossible contributors include the size of the repair, how much tooth remains, your bite, grinding and new decay. An examination can narrow down which of them applies to you.
No fixed number applies. What matters is how much sound tooth is left and whether another direct repair would still have enough support, which the dentist can judge.
Nobody can promise that. A custom restoration can offer controlled shape and support, but its performance still depends on your remaining tooth, your bite, bonding and hygiene.
Whether old material needs removing depends on the plan for your tooth. If a custom restoration is chosen, the area must be prepared to create a clean, supportable shape.
The dentist can examine the tooth as it is now and explain the findings. Details of earlier treatment are helpful if you have them, but you can still come in without them.
