Friends and co-workers may have told you all about theirs, good or bad. West End Winnipeg residents can have their own tooth examined at our McPhillips Street clinic and judge from there.
Let's find a time
Dental stories travel. When you mention a damaged molar, it seems everyone knows of someone whose restoration went smoothly or caused endless trouble. Such stories are easy to remember, and they can colour how you feel before you have even had your tooth looked at.
The trouble is that each result depends on factors that are hard to compare, including how much tooth was left, how the bite works and what the daily habits are. It is better to start from your own examination. Residents of West End Winnipeg, an area of the city, can arrange one at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street.
Explore inlays & onlays
How much sound tooth you have is specific to you, and it heavily affects the options.
Forces differ from person to person, so what worked in one mouth may not suit another.
If a story has been on your mind, pass it along and ask how it compares with your case.
Although experiences vary, the basic definitions do not. An inlay or onlay is a custom piece for a selected back tooth, intended to fall between a filling and a crown.
By definition it restores the central chewing area and does not cover a cusp. Beyond that, its size and material vary from one person to the next.
It always reaches over at least one cusp, leaving some of the tooth surfaces uncovered. How many cusps and which ones will differ with each tooth.
An acquaintance may call a restoration by the wrong name, or may have had something quite different from what you are picturing. It is worth asking the dentist directly what you would actually have.
Someone may describe their appointments differently, because arrangements do vary. In general, a custom partial restoration goes through these stages if you choose to proceed.
Request your visitYour dentist looks at remaining walls, decay, cracks, your root health and bite, and considers whether wider protection is needed.
Usually with local anesthetic in place, damaged material is cleaned out and the tooth is prepared in a shape able to support the piece.
A record of the tooth, contacts, bite and chosen shade guides the making of your restoration. A temporary may be used in the interim.
Before it is secured, the piece is tested for fit and for how it meets your other teeth. Bonding and polishing complete the process.
It is easy for someone else’s experience to blur with your own symptoms. Noting down just what you have felt yourself gives the dentist a clearer starting point.
Do not let someone’s advice to wait keep you from calling if your tooth is painful or has broken. Those are reasons to phone the clinic.
A blue bench at reception and a treatment chair.
If what you have heard has made you uneasy, it is fine to say so. Hearing what is usual, and what would be expected for your tooth, can put a frightening story in proportion.
Preparing a tooth generally involves local anesthetic, which you can ask about ahead of time.
That can indeed happen for a time after treatment, and the expectation is that it should get better.
Not every patient will need one, and yours would come with instructions you should follow.
Your own results
Once you have your restoration, how it feels is what counts, regardless of how anyone else’s felt. Daily habits are something you can control, whatever is in other people’s mouths.
Call about a high-feeling bite, sensitivity that does not improve, movement or a rough edge.
Be thorough along the margins at home, because new decay can undermine the restored tooth.
Restored teeth should not be asked to open, tear or hold things, as they are not tools.
Stories of restorations lasting decades or failing quickly reflect one person’s circumstances. No one can name a specific lifespan for yours, because many factors play a role.

Helpful details about inlays & onlays in West End Winnipeg.
Ask our teamTheir experience cannot predict yours, because the tooth, bonding, bite and habits all differ. Your dentist can talk about what might affect your own restoration.
Teeth that seem similar can differ in how much sound structure remains. Ask your dentist to explain why they favour one option for your tooth.
Arrangements for making a restoration can vary, as can what each tooth needs. Ask how your own appointments would be organized.
Certainly, and it helps to mention it. You can tell the dentist what you have heard, then ask how much of it might apply to you.
