Partial coverage does not suit every tooth. Garden Grove residents can see what a dentist looks for here, then have the tooth assessed at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
After reading about inlays and onlays, you may feel keen to have one and uncertain whether your tooth could take it. The honest answer depends on four conditions: the size of the repair, how much sound tooth is left, whether its edges can be prepared properly, and whether the design can handle your bite.
None of these can be judged from a website or a mirror, and that is why an examination comes first. Garden Grove residents are examined at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, where the dentist looks at each of these conditions in your own mouth.
Explore inlays & onlays
This type of restoration is generally aimed at chewing teeth with moderate damage or failing work.
A stable base matters, so your remaining structure and root health are both part of the evaluation.
If your tooth does not meet the conditions, you can find out what other repair may suit it.
Two of the questions concern the size of the problem compared with what remains. The other two concern how the finished piece would fit and function.
Partial coverage sits in a middle range. Too little damage and a direct filling may be simpler; too much and a crown may become necessary.
A restoration must have a clean edge to finish against and must cope with the pressure you place on it every time you chew.
Meeting these conditions makes a tooth a possible candidate, not an automatic one. The recommendation always comes from an assessment of that specific tooth.
A dentist who finds partial coverage suitable would then take the tooth through these stages.
Request your visitCracks, remaining walls, decay, bite and root health are evaluated, and you hear how your tooth measures up against each one.
Local anesthetic usually comes first. The dentist then takes out damaged material and gives the remaining tooth a clean, supportable shape.
A scan or an impression logs the outline, the adjoining contacts and how you close. Your colour selection is recorded with it.
Fit and bite are confirmed on the fabricated piece, which is then secured with adhesive and polished. A temporary may be needed until then.
You cannot assess your own tooth, but you do know things no examination can reveal. Think about what the tooth has been through and how it behaves in daily life.
A tooth that hurts or has broken further should not wait for an assessment request, so ring the clinic instead.
Black chairs at a white desk, and seating by a window.
You may arrive hoping for one thing and hear another. Take a moment to absorb that, and ask what about your tooth led to the advice and what it means for your choices.
Requesting a clear explanation of the deciding factor makes any recommendation easier to accept or question.
Should treatment go ahead, preparation of the tooth is normally done under local anesthetic.
You may want to go home and consider your options before deciding on any restoration.
What keeps it suitable
The things that made your tooth a candidate still affect it years later. Healthy structure, a clean margin and controlled bite forces are all worth protecting.
Daily cleaning where the restoration meets your tooth helps guard against new decay along that edge.
Bring up grinding or clenching, and avoid chewing on hard objects or using your teeth as tools.
Ring the clinic about movement, a rough edge, a high bite or sensitivity that is not settling.
Material choice is only part of how long a restoration serves you. Bonding, moisture control and the tooth itself all contribute too.

Helpful details about inlays & onlays in Garden Grove.
Ask our teamThese restorations are described here for selected back teeth, where chewing surfaces and cusps are involved. If a front tooth is your concern, ask which options apply.
Not automatically, although a crack’s depth and position are important. The dentist evaluates them, along with what else remains, before commenting on your options.
Possibly. Failing or extensive dental work is among the situations where partial coverage may be raised, provided the tooth has enough sound structure to support it.
Yes. A restoration needs a stable foundation, so your dentist considers the root as well as the chewing surface when judging whether the tooth is suitable.
The structure of your tooth cannot be changed by home care, but keeping it clean and getting it assessed sooner are reasonable steps. Ask what would help in your case.
