Restorative & Prosthodontics for Whyte Ridge Residents

A fall, an elbow or a hard landing can leave a tooth that seems fine for a long while. If yours has been hit, or if earlier repair work took the blow, a proper look may answer what the mirror can’t.

Damage you can’t always see

An injury may keep mattering after the soreness fades.

When a tooth takes a hit, the visible chip is only part of the story. Cracks can be hard to see, and the nerve inside may become inflamed because of earlier damage, sometimes well after the incident. Restorations are not immune either, since trauma is one of the things that can shorten the working life of a crown. This page is for anyone in Whyte Ridge, an area in Winnipeg, with an old injury still on their mind.

Depending on what the examination finds, treatment could be as modest as monitoring or a small repair. It could also involve a root canal, a crown to reinforce what remains, or a replacement if the tooth can’t be saved. Those decisions are made at our McPhillips Street clinic after looking at the tooth, its root, the gums and your bite.

Fresh injuries can’t wait

If it has just happened, call rather than reading on. Anything still loose, broken or painful needs prompt advice from the clinic.

Older injuries still count

A hit from some time back is worth mentioning, even if the tooth has given you no trouble since it happened.

Repairs can be hit, too

A crown, bridge or implant restoration that took a blow may have shifted or chipped, and a check can show the extent.

If repair or replacement is needed

Getting an old injury looked at

Having that tooth properly reviewed.

It helps to recall what happened, though an imperfect memory of the event won’t stop the examination.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Say what happened

    Roughly when, how hard, and whether the tooth was ever chipped, moved or treated at the time are all useful to mention.

  2. 02

    Let the tooth be tested

    The crown of the tooth, its root and the gums are examined, along with X-rays where appropriate and the way your teeth come together.

  3. 03

    Learn your choices

    If treatment is suggested, ask how urgent it is, what could happen if you waited, and how each option might be maintained.

Your questions, answered.

Helpful details about restorative & prosthodontics in Whyte Ridge.

Ask our team
Why would a tooth start hurting long after an injury?

Previous damage is one of the reasons a nerve can become inflamed, and cracks may also widen with use. An examination can look for the actual cause in your tooth.

Does a tooth that has darkened mean it’s dying?

Colour change after a knock deserves a look, but the appearance alone can’t tell you what’s happening inside. Testing and X-rays give a clearer picture of the tooth.

My crown took a hit. Could the tooth beneath be hurt?

Possibly. A restoration can protect a tooth, but the root and surrounding tissues may still be affected. Mention the incident even if the crown looks intact.

Could a cracked tooth be saved with a crown?

Reinforcing a cracked tooth is one common reason for a crown. It depends on where the crack runs and on the health of the root, so that’s assessed before anything is recommended.

What if the tooth can’t be kept?

Replacement options include a bridge, an implant and a removable partial denture. It’s helpful to discuss those before any extraction, because the plan for the space may influence the steps taken.

How would a Whyte Ridge resident ask about an old injury?

Describe the tooth and what happened on the request form, or phone (204) 338-3003 if it’s bothering you. The examination would be at our McPhillips Street clinic.
