A molar crown won’t appear in your photos, yet it may handle much of your chewing. Weston residents can ask why such careful work goes into restoring teeth at the back.
Let's find a time
It’s easy to assume a back tooth is the simple case. Nobody’s going to study its colour across a dinner table, after all. But back teeth do heavy work, and they meet their opposite numbers with every bite, so small errors in height or contact can be felt quickly.
If you live in Weston and have been advised to have a crown or other restoration on a back tooth, you can ask for the reasoning at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. Your dentist can explain what’s going on with that tooth and what the restoration would need to accomplish.

Back-tooth restorations must meet the opposing teeth in a balanced way.
How a crown touches the teeth next to it can affect how food and floss behave.
Even at the back, you’re free to discuss your preferences about appearance.
Fabrication is guided by records of shape and bite. On a tooth that does a lot of chewing, those details carry particular weight.
Records show how your upper and lower teeth relate to one another and move together.
A restoration has to relate properly to the teeth on each side and to the gumline around it.
A crown is one possibility among several, and your dentist decides what is suitable for a given tooth once it has been assessed.
Every restoration has its own needs, but the general sequence stays the same. Here’s how it might go for a tooth at the back of your mouth.
Request your visitYour dentist examines the tooth, talks over any symptoms, and explains which restorations could work. Preparation is carried out if treatment proceeds.
Reaching back teeth may mean keeping your mouth open for a bit. Impressions or a scan, together with a bite record, give fabrication its guidance.
A temporary may be placed on a prepared tooth, helping it function and stay protected until the final piece is finished. You’ll be told how to look after it.
With the finished crown tried in, your dentist tests how it meets the teeth around it, then asks how it feels and adjusts where required.
Since you can’t easily see your own back teeth, your clues will mostly come from sensation. Pay attention for a few meals before you come in, and pass along whatever you notice.
If you’ve been told a tooth is cracked or badly weakened, or you’re in pain, phone the clinic instead of waiting to fill in a form.
The padded dental chair in a treatment room, and the clinic’s reception counter.
Keeping your mouth open wide for a molar can make the jaw ache. If this tends to bother you, say so early. Your dentist can then discuss what might make it more comfortable.
Bring up any history of jaw clicking or aching before treatment begins.
Ask for a brief stop if holding your mouth open becomes difficult.
Records and treatment far back can trigger gagging, which is fine to mention.
Chewing on it again
The real trial of a back-tooth restoration comes at meals. New contact points might show up only once you’ve been eating normally, so keep track of how things feel for a while after your fitting.
That sensation deserves attention because a high spot can be simple to evaluate. Ring the clinic rather than chewing around it.
Note where it collects, and let your dentist know. Contact with a neighbouring tooth is among the things that can be reviewed.
Keep any pieces and bring them along. Stay away from household adhesives, because they can complicate what a professional repair could do.
Any doubt about a new crown can be answered with a short call to the clinic.

Appearance may matter less to some people at the back, but it’s still a valid preference. Tell your dentist how much it concerns you, particularly for a tooth that shows when you laugh.
Your teeth are very sensitive to contact when they meet. A restoration that touches first can stand out as soon as you close, which is why bite gets checked and adjusted.
Have it looked at by your dentist. The relationship between the crown and its neighbour, plus the surrounding gum, can be evaluated to see what’s behind it.
A temporary can protect a prepared tooth and maintain function while the final restoration is being made. Your dentist can tell you if that applies to your treatment.
A crown isn’t the only way to restore a back tooth. These pages describe some alternatives to discuss once your dentist has looked at the tooth.
