Custom dental work has a job to do at mealtimes. North End Winnipeg residents who find chewing difficult with a crown, bridge or denture can ask to have it assessed.
Let's find a time
A piece of dental work can look exactly right and still not feel right at dinner. Chewing is one of the functions designers have to account for, alongside speech, staying in place and the goal of your treatment. It also places repeated pressure on restorations and on the tissues that support them.
Perhaps you have started avoiding certain foods, or you favour one side without really deciding to. Those are useful things to tell a dentist. North End Winnipeg residents can talk it over at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street, where the work and your mouth can be assessed together.

Function is part of the plan for custom work, along with how it fits and looks.
Records show how your upper and lower teeth relate to each other and move.
Trouble with eating gives your dentist a reason to take a closer look.
When you chew, your teeth don’t simply close and stop. They slide, press and release, and any custom work involved must cope with all of it.
A crown or bridge has to meet the opposing teeth in a way that suits the rest of your bite.
A denture’s stability during a meal depends on several factors that must be balanced together.
How well any piece works for eating varies from person to person. Your dentist can talk with you about what’s realistic after an assessment.
New work and existing work follow somewhat different paths here. What’s shown below is a general outline that your dentist can tailor to you.
Request your visitDescribe which foods or which side give you trouble, and your dentist will assess your bite, the work itself and the tissues around it.
Where needed, bite records, scans or impressions show how your mouth is working at present.
If a new or remade piece is called for, fabrication proceeds from those clinical details and your dentist’s plan.
Your dentist evaluates how your teeth contact, then checks comfort and function, adjusting or sending the work back when appropriate.
People often adapt without realizing it, for instance by cutting food smaller or switching sides. Paying attention to your habits for a few days can reveal a pattern worth sharing.
If you’re in significant discomfort, don’t wait to keep notes. Phone the clinic instead.
The front desk and waiting area at Winnipeg North Dental.
A new contact point often appears only when you start chewing real food. Adjustments are a normal part of many custom treatments, and they can help improve comfort and protect your tissues.
Let your dentist know if one tooth seems to take the pressure first.
Tenderness beneath a denture after eating is a detail worth mentioning.
Describe where it collects around your crown, bridge or partial.
Over many meals
Everyday use puts your dental work through a lot, and your mouth doesn’t stay exactly the same. Should eating become harder after things have been going well, contact the clinic and describe what’s changed.
Slowly worsening chewing with a denture can relate to changing tissues, so have the fit reviewed.
When a bite feels different all at once, phone the clinic rather than waiting to see whether it settles.
If something breaks during a meal, recover what you can, store it in something protective, skip the adhesive and take it all in.
A phone call can help you work out whether a chewing problem needs an appointment.

Some contact only becomes noticeable under the pressure and movement of chewing. Tell your dentist which foods or movements bring it on so your bite can be checked.
Experiences differ, and dentures are a balance of many factors. If something seems wrong or is getting worse, ask to have the fit and tissues evaluated.
It could be one possibility, but there may be others. Your dentist needs to examine the work and your mouth to find out what’s going on.
Mention it, even if it has become a habit. It gives your dentist a useful place to begin looking, and there’s no reason to feel awkward about it.
