Plenty of people use their teeth as scissors or crunch on things that are not food. If that sounds familiar and a back tooth now needs repair, Meadow Land residents can have it assessed at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
Opening a bag with your teeth takes a second and hardly seems worth mentioning. Yet teeth are not designed for prying or snapping, and a back tooth that has already lost structure has less margin for that sort of force. An inlay or onlay may repair moderate damage, while the habit remains yours to rethink.
So a sensible assessment looks beyond the broken area and asks how you use your teeth from day to day. That honest picture can shape which restoration is planned. Meadow Land residents can have this looked at by the dentist at Winnipeg North Dental, on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Explore inlays & onlays
Telling the dentist about your habits adds information that an examination alone may not reveal.
The plan must be able to manage the pressure you put through that tooth during ordinary chewing.
Once restored, a tooth does its job more reliably when it is not also serving as a tool.
Knowing how a break or wear happened does not choose the treatment by itself, but it gives useful background to the decision.
Fractures, weak cusps and failing older repairs are mapped first, so the dentist can see how much of the tooth is in good condition.
An inlay sits inside the cusps, and an onlay carries over those that have weakened. Much bigger losses can make a crown the safer route.
Changing a habit cannot restore lost tooth, and a restoration cannot make a tooth immune to misuse. Both pieces of the puzzle matter.
If your dentist recommends a custom piece, the work is split into four jobs, with each one preparing the way for the next.
Request your visitLocal anesthetic normally comes before any shaping. Broken or weak areas are then removed until a solid outline remains.
Details of the outline, neighbouring contacts and your bite are copied by scan or impression, and a matching shade is chosen.
Fabrication follows in the planned material. You may leave with a temporary, which is a poor candidate for crunching on anything hard.
After your bite and the fit have been confirmed, the piece is bonded with adhesive and polished smooth.
Most people have one or two habits they would rather not admit to. Mentioning them plainly makes it easier for the dentist to give advice that fits your actual life.
If you have just snapped part of a tooth and it hurts, do not use the form. A phone call to the clinic is the way to go.
A pale front counter with plants, and a navy bench below abstract artwork.
Some of these habits are almost automatic, and you may only notice them when someone points them out. You can tell the dentist what you find hard to stop, without feeling embarrassed.
Describe when the habit tends to happen, and ask what it could mean for this repair.
You can usually expect local anesthetic while the damaged part of the tooth is being prepared.
Keeping scissors handy or carrying a water bottle instead of ice are easy changes to try.
Once it is back in service
A new restoration is a natural moment to look at old habits again. What once seemed harmless deserves more thought now that a custom piece is involved.
Reach for scissors or a bottle opener, and let your restored tooth stick to chewing food.
Daily care around the margins remains essential, as new decay may start at that junction.
Did you bite something hard and notice movement, roughness or a high spot? Call us about it.
Your habits are just one influence on how a restoration performs. Remaining tooth, preparation, bonding, moisture control, bite, grinding, cleaning and decay count too.

Ask our teamIt is safer to leave ice behind. Restored teeth should not be used on hard objects, so ask about any particular food or habit you find hard to give up.
The cause is useful background, but the treatment choice depends mainly on what remains. Cracks, walls, bite and root health are what the dentist evaluates.
Neither is designed for use as a tool. Their designs differ in how much of the tooth they cover, so ask how your habit relates to the piece that is being planned.
Material choice is a decision to make with your dentist. Be sure to mention the habit, as bite and grinding also feature when planning what suits your tooth.
Contact the clinic if you notice movement, a rough edge, or a change in your bite. Explain what happened, and your concern can be looked at from there.
