Nothing about a crown is familiar until you’ve had one. If you live in Castlebury Meadows and the word has just come up, here’s a clear explanation of what happens to that tooth.
Let's find a time
A crown is a custom cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth. Where a filling repairs part of the tooth directly, a crown is commonly made to a prescription from records of your mouth. That’s often why you’re asked to return, and it can come as a surprise when you’re new to this.
If someone in Castlebury Meadows has been told a crown might be needed, or suspects as much, an assessment can be requested at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. Your dentist can show you what’s going on with the tooth and whether a crown or some other approach suits it.

A crown is a restoration that sits over a weakened or damaged tooth.
Shape, bite and shade records help it suit your own mouth.
A temporary may look after a prepared tooth while yours is being made.
Some of the anxiety around crowns comes from half-remembered stories. It may help to separate what generally happens from what depends on your particular tooth.
Most crowns follow a recognizable path from preparation through to fitting, although details will differ.
A dentist’s examination decides these points, so a general article like this one can’t answer them for you.
Your crown’s material and timeline are good topics to raise directly, because the answer varies with the tooth and the type of work involved.
Having never done this before, you may find it reassuring to know what each stage is for. Your own appointments could differ slightly from this outline.
Request your visitYou’ll hear what was found and what a crown is intended to do for that tooth. Ask what your alternatives are while you’re at it.
The dentist prepares the tooth so a crown has room to fit, explaining as they go. Ask ahead of time about freezing or other comfort concerns.
A scan or impression is taken, followed by a record of your bite and a note of shade. You may leave with a temporary in place.
Your dentist checks how the crown contacts neighbouring teeth, how you bite and how it looks. You’re also asked how it feels to you, before it’s finalized.
You don’t need to learn dental terminology. It’s enough to think about the symptoms you’ve noticed, and how much the look of this tooth matters to you.
If a tooth has broken or you’re in significant pain, call the clinic rather than sending the form.
Blinds and seating in the waiting area, and a consultation room with a desk.
Sensations you’ve never had before can be unsettling when you don’t know what’s causing them. Requesting an explanation of the noises, the materials or the feeling of a temporary may take much of the mystery away.
Feel free to ask before each stage what you’re about to feel or hear.
A prepared or sensitive tooth may need extra attention, so report anything sore.
If you need a short break during records or a fitting, say so or use a signal.
Your first days with a crown
A new crown may feel a little odd at first simply because it’s new. Your tongue often notices it before you’ve got used to it. If the sensation concerns you or sticks around, it deserves a mention.
Mention it to the clinic if the crown seems to hit before the others do, or if closing your teeth together has become uncomfortable.
Shade is judged in your mouth and in suitable lighting. Raise any concern with your dentist before final acceptance, if at all possible.
Save the crown or temporary, keep it somewhere protected and phone the clinic. Household glue isn’t an appropriate fix for it.
First crowns bring plenty of small questions, and the clinic is happy to hear them.

A filling restores part of a tooth, whereas a crown is a custom-made restoration that gives full coverage. Your dentist decides which is suitable once the tooth has been assessed.
Custom crowns are generally produced from records after the tooth is prepared. Fabrication takes time, and the finished piece then has to be checked in your mouth.
Shade and surface details are recorded so a restoration can blend with the teeth around it, and the result gets checked in your mouth. Ask your dentist what to expect at that position.
It’s possible for some teeth, but only an examination can tell. If your dentist recommends additional treatment first, ask them to explain why it comes before the crown.
Follow the instructions that you’re given when the temporary is placed, as they’ll fit your situation. Call the clinic if it feels loose or comes off.
A crown is often considered alongside other treatment. These pages may help you prepare for the conversation about what your tooth needs.
