Some damage sits so far back that you only know it by feel. If you live in Elmwood and a rear molar is the trouble, our Winnipeg clinic can assess what kind of repair it may suit.
Let's find a time
A molar at the far end of your mouth is awkward in every way. You cannot get a proper look at it in the mirror, your toothbrush struggles to get behind it, and it does a great deal of the heavy chewing all the same.
These are the teeth most likely to be considered for inlays and onlays, which are custom restorations meant for selected back teeth. An examination can show what your mirror cannot. Elmwood is an area of Winnipeg, and residents have that examination at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street.
Explore inlays & onlays
The dentist can examine surfaces of that tooth you have probably never seen yourself.
A custom piece is formed away from the tooth, then brought back for fitting and bonding.
Ask for help working out how to reach the edges of a restoration so far back.
Rear molars can develop moderate decay, fractures or failing work like any others. Which design may suit one depends on what is left of it.
With an inlay, the middle of the biting surface is replaced by a custom piece, and the peaks at its edges stay uncovered as long as they remain sound.
An onlay takes in the weakened cusps as well. It is intended for a tooth that needs that added coverage but does not need a covering all the way around.
Position alone does not decide the repair. The amount of sound tooth, the state of the root and your bite are all considered, and a filling or crown may turn out to be the right call.
Should the assessment lead to a partial restoration, your care would normally move through these stages. Tell the dentist if your jaw tires easily, and ask what can be done about it.
Request your visitYour dentist reviews the tooth for cracks and decay, along with how much wall remains, how it meets its opposite and whether the root is healthy.
Usually after numbing, the affected material is taken out and the remaining tooth is formed into a shape able to hold the restoration.
The prepared tooth, its contact with the tooth beside it and your bite are all captured by scan or impression. Shade is selected too.
Its fit and your bite get verified first, and then it is adhesively secured and polished. If fabrication happens between visits, a temporary may be placed in the meantime.
Being unable to see the tooth does not leave you with nothing to report. What your tongue, your floss and your food tell you is worth passing on.
A sudden break, swelling or severe pain at the back of the mouth is a reason to call the clinic, not to wait for a reply to a form.
A bench under abstract art, and a treatment chair.
People often worry about holding their mouth open to give access to a rear molar. If your jaw tires easily, it helps to say so before the work begins, so it can be kept in mind.
Ask whether short pauses are possible if holding your mouth open becomes uncomfortable.
A local anesthetic is typically given before a tooth is prepared, even one at the very back.
The tooth could be sensitive for a while once treatment is finished, and that should settle down.
Keeping it clean back there
A restored rear molar depends on the same hygiene as your other teeth, even though it is harder to get to. New decay at the edges is one of the things that can affect how it holds up.
Ask to be shown a brush and floss position that actually reaches the margins of your restoration.
Regular examinations let someone with a proper view keep an eye on a tooth you cannot see.
Roughness, movement, a high bite or sensitivity that does not improve are all reasons to phone us.
Every restoration needs care, and none comes with a promised lifespan. Grinding, bite and hygiene all play a part, wherever the tooth sits.

Ask our teamBack teeth are precisely where these restorations are generally used. Whether yours is suitable comes down to its remaining structure and the rest of the assessment.
That depends on its condition and on the role it plays in your bite. Ask the dentist to go over what repairing it would involve and what leaving it might mean.
Recording the tooth, the contact beside it and your bite is a routine part of the process. Ask which method applies to you if you are curious.
Tell the dentist ahead of time. Knowing about it allows the discussion to include how the appointment can be managed for your jaw.
The reach is awkward, and technique matters more than force. Ask for a demonstration in your own mouth, since what works varies by tooth.
