Curious how a separate piece becomes part of your tooth? Shaughnessy Park residents can get a clear account of bonding, and of whether it suits them, at our Winnipeg clinic.
Let's find a time
It is natural to picture an inlay or onlay as something that might simply drop out. In fact, the piece is made to match a specifically prepared space and is then joined to the tooth using dental adhesive, so shape and bonding work together.
Getting that right begins well before the final appointment, starting with whether the tooth has enough sound structure and whether the edges of the repair can be prepared properly. Patients from Shaughnessy Park, in Winnipeg, have those questions answered at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street.
Explore inlays & onlays
Your restoration begins with a precise record of the prepared area and how it meets other teeth.
The piece is bonded, not merely rested in place, after its fit has been carefully verified.
You can find out why the dentist believes your tooth would or would not make a sound base.
Neither one is enough without the other. How the tooth is prepared affects how the piece sits, and how the bonding stage is carried out affects how well the two stay joined.
Damaged material comes out first, and what remains is shaped so that an inlay can sit within the cusps or an onlay can cover selected ones.
Before adhesive is used, fit and bite are verified with the finished piece. Keeping the working area free of moisture is a recognized part of doing this well.
A strong bond cannot compensate for a tooth lacking a stable foundation. If your remaining structure is limited, broader coverage may be discussed instead.
Bonding is the final stage in a sequence. Here is how the earlier work leads up to it when the dentist recommends this type of restoration.
Request your visitRemaining walls, any cracks or decay, your bite and root health are all evaluated to decide whether the tooth is a suitable base.
Local anesthetic is generally used while unsound material is taken out and the tooth is contoured to receive the new piece.
A scan or impression captures contacts and bite as well as the prepared shape. Your chosen shade goes in the same record.
Once fabricated, the piece is tried and adjusted as needed, then adhesively attached and polished. Temporary material may be used beforehand.
Some people are more comfortable when they understand how a repair works. If that describes you, write your questions down so you remember to raise them when the dentist has seen the tooth.
Any tooth that has become suddenly sore or feels unstable calls for a telephone conversation, without waiting on the online form.

A dry working area is part of the bonding stage, so you may notice extra attention being paid to moisture. If you find that uncomfortable, or if your jaw tires easily, let the people treating you know.
It can help to hear beforehand what the instruments are for and what you may notice as work proceeds.
You can normally expect local anesthetic while the tooth is being prepared to receive the restoration.
Holding your mouth open can be tiring, and it is useful for the dentist to know if this affects you.
Looking after the join
The place where restoration meets natural tooth is the part you have the most influence over. Keep it clean and be alert to anything that feels different there.
Plaque along the margin can lead to new decay in the tooth surrounding your bonded piece.
A piece that feels as if it shifts deserves a call to the clinic without delay, even if nothing hurts.
A bond is not an invitation to use teeth as tools, so scissors are still the right choice for tape and packages.
Bonding is only one influence on longevity. Remaining tooth structure, preparation, bite, grinding and hygiene also affect how well the restoration performs.

Ask our teamThe piece is secured with dental adhesive after its fit and bite have been checked. Its shape also matters, since it is made to match the prepared space.
Several factors can contribute, including the amount of tooth available, moisture during bonding, bite forces, grinding and new decay. Mention any looseness promptly.
Moisture control is one of the factors that affects how a bonded restoration performs, so you may notice measures being taken to keep the site clear.
Temporary materials are less durable than the finished restoration, so follow the instructions provided and contact the clinic if one comes loose.
If it fails or new problems develop, the dentist can advise on what is possible for that tooth. Your options would depend on what the examination shows at that time.
