A single restoration has to get along with everything around it, from the tooth beside it to the tooth it bites against. Meadows West residents can ask how that’s approached at our Winnipeg clinic on McPhillips Street.
Let's find a time
Perhaps you’re concerned that a new crown will stand out, or feel like a foreign object in an otherwise familiar mouth. Those are reasonable things to wonder about, because a restoration must relate to neighbouring teeth, the opposing bite and the gumline all at once.
This is why your dentist records more than the tooth being treated. Scans or impressions, bite details, shade and photographs tell the people making the piece what surrounds it. For Meadows West residents, an area in Winnipeg, those records and the fitting happen at the McPhillips Street clinic.

Contact with the teeth on either side is one of the things checked once the piece is in your mouth.
Bite records show how your upper and lower teeth come together and move against one another.
Details of shade and surface help a restoration blend in with the teeth around it.
Think of these as two separate questions: how it functions with the teeth around it, and how it looks beside them. Both are planned, and both are checked.
A piece that looks lovely but interferes with your bite wouldn’t be doing its job.
Your natural teeth aren’t a single flat colour, which is why appearance gets careful attention too.
A close blend is the goal, though how it’s achieved varies between mouths. Ask what your dentist considers realistic in your case.
Each of these stages looks at the new piece in relation to what’s already in your mouth. Your dentist will let you know what your particular case requires.
Request your visitYour dentist assesses the tooth and those around it, explains the options, and prepares the tooth where treatment calls for that.
A scan or impression shows shape, a bite record shows how things meet, and shade notes describe colour. Some cases also use photographs.
Your restoration is built from those records for you and for this clinical purpose. A temporary may look after the prepared tooth during this period.
Next comes the check of contact, bite, comfort, appearance and function. Adjustments may be made, or the piece may return for refinement.
You know your own teeth better than anyone. Some people want the new piece to disappear completely, while others also have concerns about how that area has been working.
Timing, appointment length and estimated costs are all reasonable things to bring up when you speak with the clinic.
A treatment room with wood cabinets, and a reception counter on a wood floor.
A very slight difference can feel surprisingly large in your mouth. Rather than deciding that’s just how it will be, say what you’re noticing so it can be evaluated.
Tell your dentist if the new piece seems to touch before your other teeth do.
Say so if something catches between teeth, or if the area feels unusually tight.
Take your time with a mirror, and ask questions if the colour seems off to you.
In the weeks after
Everyday eating and talking test a new piece differently from a short fitting. If anything changes, a call lets the clinic talk through what ought to happen next.
Mention it if your teeth don’t seem to come together the way they did. Adjustments are a normal part of many custom treatments.
Tell your dentist if a spot beside the restoration behaves differently. It may be worth checking how the piece relates to that neighbour.
Future treatment on the teeth around it is another good reason to ask how the existing restoration fits into the picture.

Blending in is the aim, using shade and surface information, but no one can promise an exact result in advance. Your dentist evaluates appearance with the piece in your mouth, and your opinion belongs in that discussion.
Often, yes, since the restoration has to relate to them. Bite records show how your upper and lower teeth meet, and scans or impressions capture the teeth and tissues in the area.
Contact with neighbouring teeth is checked carefully for that reason. If you’re concerned about a particular tooth, or notice a change afterward, ask your dentist to take a look.
It’s a reasonable thing to bring up. Your dentist can look at how the older work compares now and explain whether anything is worth considering, and what that could involve.
Different restorations cover different amounts of a tooth. These pages explain how each one works, and your dentist can advise what suits your tooth.
