Ice water finds the same molar every time? Sinclair Park residents can have that reaction looked into at our Winnipeg clinic, where an inlay or onlay is one possible answer.
Let's find a time
A twinge that always comes from one spot is easy to live around. You sip on the other side, let ice cream melt first, and tell yourself it comes and goes. Sensitivity has several possible causes, so the reaction alone cannot say what is happening inside that tooth.
Moderate decay, a fracture or a failing older repair are among the things an examination can reveal, and those are the problems a custom inlay or onlay is designed to address. People living in Sinclair Park, an area of Winnipeg, are seen for this at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street.
Explore inlays & onlays
Cold, sweet or chewing pressure each give the dentist a slightly different clue worth hearing.
Restoration is only discussed once the source of your sensitivity has been looked for.
Partial coverage replaces a damaged section while healthy walls and cusps can remain in place.
A custom restoration suits certain findings and not others. These two patterns are the ones where partial coverage tends to come up.
Should the trouble be limited to the chewing area between the raised points of the tooth, an inlay could replace that portion.
A raised point weakened by decay or a crack may need something covering it, and that is the role of an onlay.
Sensitivity may turn out to have a cause that no inlay or onlay would solve. In that case, you will hear what the examination points to instead.
Suppose the assessment shows a repairable pattern and partial coverage is suitable. Treatment then moves through four stages.
Request your visitYour history is reviewed along with the tooth, its walls, any cracks or decay, your bite and the root, so the reaction can be explained.
With local anesthetic usually in place, compromised material is removed and the remaining tooth is shaped into a supportable form.
A scan or impression records the tooth, its contacts and your bite. The shade you and the dentist select is recorded at this stage too.
The finished piece is tried for fit and bite, then bonded with adhesive and polished smooth. A temporary may protect the tooth while you wait.
You do not need to run experiments on a sore tooth. Simply notice what you were eating or drinking when it reacted, and pass that along at your appointment.
A reaction that becomes constant, severe or suddenly worse should prompt a phone call to the clinic instead of an online request.

If you already flinch at a cold drink, you may be wary of anything touching the tooth. Say so at the start, so the people treating you know how that tooth has been behaving.
Warn the dentist that air or water can set the tooth off, and point to where you feel it.
The damaged area is usually frozen before it is worked on, and you are free to ask how that is done.
Short-lived sensitivity is possible following treatment and ought to settle, so call if yours does not.
Watching for improvement
After a restoration, your own observations remain valuable. The tooth should gradually become less reactive, and a change in the wrong direction deserves attention.
Lingering sensitivity that shows no sign of improving is one of the reasons to get back in touch.
Brush and floss around the margin with care, since natural tooth next to the restoration can still decay.
Phone the clinic if your bite seems high, a rough edge appears, or the piece appears to move.
No lifespan can be promised for any restoration, because your remaining tooth, bite, bonding and daily hygiene all play a part.

Helpful details about inlays & onlays in Sinclair Park.
Ask our teamNot necessarily. Plenty of things can make a tooth react, and a restoration only makes sense if the examination finds damage that this type of repair is able to address.
It may, although a failing repair is just one possibility. The dentist looks at the existing work and the tooth around it before suggesting what to do.
A reaction that comes and goes still tells you something has changed, so an examination is reasonable. Phone the clinic if it grows stronger or stops fading.
Some temporary sensitivity can occur and it should improve as time passes. Let the clinic know if it stays the same or gets worse.
Toothpaste cannot rebuild a fractured or decayed section of tooth. Ask at your examination whether it has any place in your situation once the cause is known.
