Living in Lockport, outside the City of Winnipeg, you may want to know ahead of time what the weeks after bonding are like. Treatment happens at our McPhillips Street clinic, and most of the aftercare happens at home.
Let's find a time
A freshly bonded restoration can take a little getting used to, and that can leave you second-guessing every twinge. It helps to learn beforehand what tends to improve by itself and what ought to be reported, so you are not lying awake wondering.
Before you commit to treatment, ask what follow-up may involve and how a concern would be handled if you are not in the city. Lockport residents have this work done at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, where any review of the tooth would also take place.
Explore inlays & onlays
Sensitivity for a short while can follow treatment, and you should notice it gradually improving.
A high bite, sensitivity that stops improving, movement or a rough edge all warrant contact with us.
Careful margin cleaning and leaving tool-like jobs to actual tools are your two main responsibilities.
It is easier to notice meaningful changes when you know what was done. An inlay and an onlay differ in how far they reach, and that affects which edges you will need to look after.
With this design, the margin runs around the central part of the chewing surface, inside the cusps. The surrounding walls remain your own natural tooth, and they need the same care as before.
With this design, the piece goes over at least one weakened cusp, so its margin follows a longer path across the top of the tooth. Natural surfaces remain elsewhere and need daily cleaning.
Which design you would have, if either, is settled at the assessment. Sometimes a direct filling or full crown is what the tooth actually calls for.
A short summary of the clinical work may help you make sense of what you feel later. Each stage has a job in how the finished piece feels.
Request your visitAnesthetic generally comes first, and then the damaged material is removed. This leaves a clean form that the restoration can rest on.
Scan or impression, the record takes in the tooth, neighbouring contacts and how your teeth meet, as well as the shade you have chosen.
Fabrication is carried out in the planned material. A temporary may protect your tooth while this is going on, and it is less durable than the final piece.
Your bite and the fit get verified before adhesive bonding, and a polish leaves the surface smooth for your tongue and cheek.
It is much easier to get clear answers while you are sitting in the clinic than after you get home. Keep these in mind for the visit when your piece is placed.
Should severe pain or swelling appear at any point, do not wait and watch. Call the clinic and describe what you are experiencing.
An office with a white desk and black chairs, and a waiting area with a blue bench.
Your tongue is very good at finding anything new, and a small change can seem larger than it is. Paying attention is reasonable, and asking a question about it is never a bother.
Your mouth may feel different at first as the local anesthetic used for preparation fades away.
If something is sensitive, note whether it is improving over the days. That detail is useful when you call.
A quick call to ask whether something is expected can spare you a lot of worrying at home.
Over the following weeks
Most days the restored tooth should not demand much attention. Use this list as a guide, and let the clinic decide whether something needs to be seen.
If your teeth seem to meet on this tooth first, mention it, since that is a reason to get in touch.
A twinge that stays the same or grows stronger differs from one that eases off, so report that pattern.
A piece that seems to shift, or an edge catching on your floss or tongue, should also be raised.
No lifespan can be promised. Tooth structure, bonding quality, moisture control, your bite, grinding, hygiene and new decay all influence how a restoration holds up.

Ask our teamNo fixed number applies to everyone. Temporary sensitivity should get better, so the trend matters. If it is not improving, phone the clinic and describe it.
The bite is verified before the piece is bonded, but a tooth can feel different once you are chewing normally. If it seems high after that, let the office know.
The office can hear your description and advise on the next step, although a physical change to a restoration usually has to be seen in person to be properly judged.
Movement is one of the changes to report, even when nothing has fallen out yet. Call and explain what you have noticed, and avoid guessing at a fix on your own.
Yes, a restored tooth can still develop problems, particularly new decay around its edges. Ask how often you should return, given your own mouth and history.
