A cracked tooth or a very large old filling leaves you wondering how much can be saved. Custom tooth-coloured restorations may give that tooth more support; an assessment shows if they fit.
Let's find a time
Perhaps a corner of a molar broke away, or someone has told you the existing filling takes up most of the tooth. For people in The Maples, in northwest Winnipeg, who are facing that kind of news, our McPhillips Street clinic can examine what is left and explain the choices.
A tooth with little structure remaining has to be rebuilt with support in mind. Depending on the size of the missing area and the state of the cusps, the suitable design could be anything from a larger bonded repair to full coverage made outside the mouth.
Explore tooth-colored restorations
The strength of the walls and cusps left behind helps guide the type of restoration.
Inlays, onlays and crowns replace progressively more of a tooth’s outer structure.
Ceramic and other planned materials can be chosen with appearance as well as strength in mind.
Custom restorations are made outside the mouth from a scan or an impression, then secured in place. They differ mainly in how far they extend across the tooth.
These partial-coverage pieces suit certain back teeth where a portion of the structure is missing but a good amount survives.
Full coverage may be suggested when damage is extensive or the cusps are weakened enough that a partial design would not be predictable.
Sometimes a tooth has problems that a restoration alone cannot address. Your assessment will take into account the whole condition of the tooth before any design is proposed.
This is how a custom restoration usually unfolds, though the plan for your tooth may have stages of its own. Please ask at any point.
Request your visitAn examination and suitable images show cracks, decay, the remaining support and the way the tooth takes force when you bite.
You hear whether an inlay, onlay or crown seems appropriate, which material is planned, and why this option was selected.
Once the tooth has been prepared, a scan or impression records it so that the restoration can be fabricated to fit.
Fit, shade, contact and bite are reviewed with the piece in place, after which it is bonded or cemented.
Words like crack or crown can feel daunting, particularly if the tooth feels fine right now. Writing down your questions helps ensure you leave with the answers you came for.
Since custom restorations vary in scope, ask for an estimate and how many appointments are planned once a design has been proposed.
Quiet spaces for thinking over your choices.
Hearing that your tooth needs more than a filling can be unsettling. You are entitled to understand the reasoning behind the recommendation and to voice any hesitations.
Ask to be shown what was found on the tooth, as this often makes the reasoning clearer.
Concerned about losing healthy tooth or about the appearance? Those points deserve a real answer.
A cracked tooth can react to biting or to cold, so let us know what sets yours off.
With your restoration in place
A custom restoration protects what is left of the tooth, but the tooth itself still needs looking after, especially along the line where the two meet.
New decay can start where the restoration ends, so keep that border clean with your brush and floss.
Your tongue may notice a new shape; contact the clinic if the bite or an edge remains bothersome.
Clenching puts stress on any restored tooth, and this may be something to discuss with regard to protection.
A loose or broken restoration is a reason to phone the clinic instead of using the online form.

Helpful details about tooth-colored restorations in The Maples.
Ask our teamThe deciding factors are how much structure is missing and whether the cusps have been weakened. Your dentist can show you what was found and what each option would involve.
Both are made outside the mouth for partial coverage, commonly on back teeth. An onlay reaches further by covering at least one cusp, whereas an inlay stays inside them.
Colour, translucency, texture and form are all considered in planning, though natural teeth are complex and an exact match cannot be promised. Ask which material is proposed and what it can realistically achieve.
Yes, any dental restoration can develop problems, and no lifespan can be given in advance. Bite, habits, hygiene, material, bonding and new decay all affect how it performs.
A custom piece has to be fabricated before it can be placed, so ask how your appointments will be organized. The number of stages depends on your particular treatment.
