Repairs done abroad can be hard to explain, especially without records. Downtown Winnipeg residents can have such a tooth examined on McPhillips Street, even if you have no paperwork at all.
Let's find a time
If you have moved from abroad, your mouth may hold work you cannot fully describe. You might recall a procedure but not its name, or you may have heard one term there and hear a different one here. Records may be hard to obtain, or you may have none.
None of that stops a dentist from examining the tooth as it is today. What matters for an inlay or onlay is how much sound structure remains, not where the earlier work took place. If Downtown Winnipeg is where you live now, that examination happens at Winnipeg North Dental, on McPhillips Street in the city.
Explore inlays & onlays
Share whatever you have. An examination looks directly at the tooth in its present condition.
Please ask for an explanation any time a dental term here is not one you recognize.
Any recommendation is based on what is found now, whichever option that points to.
Different places may use different names. In this clinic, these words refer to custom pieces made outside the mouth for selected back teeth.
It replaces the damaged central chewing area and stops short of the cusps, the raised points of the tooth. That can work when the structure around it is suitable.
It covers one or more cusps that have become weak, as well as restoring the damaged surface. Some of the tooth stays uncovered, unlike with a crown.
You may already have one of these without knowing its local name. The dentist can tell you what appears to be there, although some older materials and methods may be hard to identify.
Dental visits can be set up differently from one country to another. If you go ahead with an inlay or onlay here, this is what the process would generally look like.
Request your visitThe dentist studies the tooth for decay and cracks, then considers the walls that are left, how you bite and the health of the root. Any earlier work is included.
A numbing injection is usually given. Old or damaged material is removed, and the tooth is shaped cleanly.
A scan or a mould of your tooth, the neighbouring contacts and your bite is used to create the piece, and a colour is chosen.
When it has been tested for fit and bite, it is attached with an adhesive and polished smooth. You may have a temporary until this step.
Even a small amount of history can be useful. If some of your documents are in another language, bring them along if you have them and ask whether they can help.
If the old work has come out or the tooth is painful, call the clinic instead of waiting to find your documents.
The front counter, and a bright area for waiting.
When a dental visit runs differently from what you are used to, even simple things can feel uncertain. You can ask what is going to happen next at any point, and it is fine to ask more than once.
Local anesthetic is the usual choice during preparation, so tell the dentist if earlier injections were hard for you.
You do not need the correct dental term. Simply describe what you feel, and point to where it is.
A treated tooth may be sensitive for a while. This should improve gradually, and you can phone if it does not.
Starting a record here
Keeping track of what was done to which tooth can make future care easier. Ask what you might want to note about your new restoration for your own records.
Write down which restoration was placed on which tooth, so you can describe it to anyone in future.
Decay can begin where a restoration meets natural tooth, so the margins deserve careful brushing and flossing.
Please call about a high bite, stubborn sensitivity, movement or a rough edge on the restoration.
Nobody can give you a firm number of years for a restoration. The tooth, material, bite, bonding, hygiene and your habits all affect it.

Helpful details about inlays & onlays in Downtown Winnipeg.
Ask our teamA lack of records does not prevent an examination. The dentist evaluates the tooth as it stands, and any X-rays needed for your care can be discussed.
Often a dentist can tell a good deal from an examination and X-rays, but not always everything. You can ask what can and cannot be determined.
Describe it however you can, even by pointing to the spot. The dentist can then put a local name to what is present, or explain what it appears to be.
Not simply because of where it was done. Whether it needs replacing depends on its condition and on whether the tooth has developed any problems.
It may be possible once the damaged material is assessed. Suitability depends on the sound structure left in the tooth, and a crown or other option may be advised instead.
You can fill in the form on this page or call (204) 338-3003. The visit is at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6, and it is set once the office confirms a time.
