A root canal deals with the inside of a tooth, but the chewing surface may still need rebuilding. If you live in Stonewall, outside the City of Winnipeg, our McPhillips Street clinic can review what covering suits your tooth.
Let's find a time
Root canal treatment addresses the inner part of the tooth. It does not rebuild whatever was lost to decay or fracture on the outside, and many back teeth have already lost considerable structure by the time they reach that point.
For that reason, a crown is often discussed, though an onlay may sometimes come up when enough sound tooth remains. Which of them suits your tooth has to be decided by examining it. Stonewall residents have that conversation at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Explore inlays & onlays
Treating a root does not by itself restore the part of the tooth you actually chew with.
The amount of sound tooth still standing is central to deciding how much coverage is sensible.
It is helpful to know when the root canal was done and what was placed after it.
These restorations rely on healthy structure being available around them. After root treatment, that is exactly the thing your dentist will want to evaluate most carefully.
If enough of the tooth remains, an onlay can be planned to cover weakened cusps while keeping other surfaces. This could come up where damage has been limited and the bite can be managed.
A crown generally covers the visible tooth around its full circumference. It may be recommended when so much has been lost, or when forces on the tooth are such, that broader protection is needed.
An inlay, which leaves all the cusps uncovered, may be less often the answer for a tooth like this, but that is a decision for the dentist who has examined it.
Should your dentist and you settle on a custom partial restoration, the steps follow this general order. The review of the existing root treatment comes first.
Request your visitThe dentist evaluates the remaining walls, cracks, decay, bite and root health. X-rays or notes about your root canal may help.
Damaged material and any temporary filling are dealt with, and the tooth is shaped so that the design has proper support.
From a scan or impression of the tooth, contacts and bite, your restoration is fabricated in the chosen material and shade.
After fit and bite are checked, adhesive secures the restoration, which is polished so it sits smoothly with its neighbours.
If the treatment was done some time ago or somewhere else, your memory of it may be all you have. Bring what you can; the dentist can examine the tooth regardless.
Pain, swelling or a break in a root-treated tooth deserves a phone call. Do not wait until you have found the paperwork.
White chairs by a striped blind, and a reclined dental chair with a light arm.
You may have hoped the root canal was the end of it, so hearing about further work can be discouraging. It is fair to ask why it is recommended and what the options are for this particular tooth.
Ask how a root-treated tooth is likely to feel during preparation, and whether freezing is still planned.
Find out what your dentist sees that makes further coverage worth considering for this tooth.
Temporary materials are not built to last, so ask how soon the permanent work ought to happen.
Still a tooth to look after
A tooth that has had a root canal may no longer react the way it once did, so it may give you fewer warnings. Make sure daily care and regular examinations continue.
Root treatment does not protect the remaining tooth, so the margin needs the same careful cleaning.
Ask how carefully you should chew, and do not use a restored tooth for opening or cutting anything.
Tell the clinic about high spots, rough edges, movement or sensitivity that does not get better.
Restored teeth have no promised service life. The remaining tooth, your material, the bonding, bite, grinding and hygiene will all have some effect on yours.

Ask our teamNot necessarily, although crowns are commonly discussed for back teeth that have had this treatment. The decision depends on what remains and how the tooth is used in your bite.
Possibly, if the examination finds enough sound structure and manageable bite forces. Ask your dentist to explain the reasoning in your own case, whichever way it goes.
You can request an assessment. Any information you can share about the earlier treatment may help, and the dentist will examine the tooth as it stands today.
Temporary materials are less durable and are not intended as the final repair. Contact the clinic about having the tooth looked at, and mention how long it has been there.
Yes, the part of the tooth that remains can still decay, and you may feel less warning than before. Keep up with cleaning and regular examinations.
State that the tooth had one and what is on it now, through the form or at (204) 338-3003. The office then sets a time for you at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6.
