A tooth does not work alone. For St. James residents whose damaged molar is flanked by a crown, a bridge or a large filling, our Winnipeg clinic can look at how the pieces fit together.
Let's find a time
By the time many adults hear the word onlay, the area around that tooth already holds some history. There may be a crown on one side, a bridge on the other, or a filling that was placed years ago. It is natural to wonder whether all of that complicates things.
It does matter, mainly because a custom restoration is recorded and shaped to meet the teeth beside it and opposite it. The contacts and your bite are part of the design. If you live in St. James, an area of Winnipeg, you can have the whole neighbourhood of teeth reviewed at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street.

The piece is designed to meet the tooth beside it, whether that tooth is natural or restored.
Your bite is captured so the new surface can be planned against whatever it closes on.
You can ask whether the surrounding dental work needs any attention of its own.
Whatever is beside it, a tooth considered for partial coverage should still have enough sound structure of its own. These are the two forms it might take.
This suits damage in the central chewing area with suitable structure around it. Where the repair reaches the side of the tooth, the shape of the contact needs particular care.
Weakened cusps can be covered while the remainder of the tooth stays as it is. The surface of the piece is planned around how your teeth come together.
If the neighbouring work is itself failing, the discussion may become broader than a single tooth. Only an examination can show whether that is so in your case.
The usual stages apply, whatever is beside the tooth. The difference lies in how closely the surrounding teeth are considered at each point.
Request your visitBeyond the tooth itself, attention is given to how it meets its neighbours and the teeth opposite, along with cracks, decay and root health.
Local anesthetic is normally given before the affected material is removed and a clean, supportable shape is formed.
Your scan or impression takes in the prepared tooth, adjoining surfaces and your bite. The shade is chosen with the surrounding teeth in view.
Before bonding and polishing, the piece is checked against both the adjoining teeth and your bite. You may have a temporary until then.
You do not need exact dates or technical names. Even a loose account of past work around the tooth gives the dentist useful context for the examination.
If a neighbouring crown or bridge feels loose, or anything in the area has become painful, call the clinic so that it can be addressed by phone first.
A blue treatment chair and a consultation desk.
You have already put time and money into those other teeth, and you may worry about disturbing them. Ask how the treatment is expected to affect them, and say what you would like to avoid.
If an earlier repair left you with a bad memory, it is useful for the dentist to hear about it.
Local anesthetic is generally used, and it may also numb the teeth around the one being treated.
It may take a while for the treated tooth to settle, though any sensitivity should keep improving.
Caring for the whole row
With several pieces of dental work side by side, there are more places where restoration meets tooth. These junctions deserve your attention at home and at each examination.
Take extra care with the spaces where the new piece meets its neighbour, as well as its other margins.
When your teeth seem to close differently or feel high on one side, it is time to call us.
Reviews give the dentist a chance to check the new restoration along with your older work.
No restoration has a set lifespan, and neighbouring work ages at its own rate. Bite, grinding and hygiene all influence how the area holds up.

Ask our teamA crown beside the tooth does not rule one out by itself. The dentist looks at the damaged tooth, the contact between them and how your bite works.
Not necessarily. Material and shade are planned for the tooth being restored, so ask how the two would look together and why a material is being suggested.
Ask this before starting, as the answer depends on how your bridge is positioned. The dentist can explain what is expected once the area has been examined.
The examination may show that, and you can then talk over whether to treat them together or separately. Each tooth’s needs are considered on their own merits.
A well-shaped contact helps the restored tooth work with its neighbour. That is why it is recorded and then checked when the finished piece is tried.
