A cavity in a molar raises a fair question: can a white material cope with chewing? Our clinic in the northern part of the city can assess the tooth and answer that for your bite.
Let's find a time
Our clinic sits on McPhillips Street in the northern part of Winnipeg, and this is where every tooth-coloured restoration we provide is carried out. If you have just learned about a cavity in a back tooth, the place to begin is an assessment here.
Molars do heavy work, so appearance cannot be the only consideration. Before suggesting a material, we look at how large the repair is, how much of the tooth remains, and what the tooth has to withstand when you chew.
Explore tooth-colored restorations
Contact patterns, along with any grinding or clenching, feed into the design of the repair.
Keeping healthy structure is a priority whenever a predictable option makes that possible.
Assessment and treatment both take place at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street.
A molar with a modest cavity and one with crumbling walls may look like similar problems, yet they place very different demands on a restoration.
Resin suits many smaller and moderate cavities, provided the tooth has enough support around the repair.
Bigger missing areas may be better served by an inlay, onlay or crown, made in ceramic or another planned material.
Each of these considerations applies tooth by tooth, which is why an in-person assessment settles the question rather than a general rule.
This outline assumes a direct composite. Should a custom restoration be recommended instead, the later stages will differ and we can walk you through them.
Request your visitAn examination, plus dental images when appropriate, shows how far the decay reaches and how much sound tooth surrounds it.
Decay comes out while supportable structure is preserved, and the area is kept suitably dry for the adhesive.
Resin goes in by controlled increments, recreating the grooves of the chewing surface and a proper contact against the tooth beside it.
We check how your teeth meet, then smooth the edges and polish the surface so that it is easier to keep clean.
Knowing your history helps us choose well, especially where chewing forces are involved. Share anything you have noticed about the tooth, however small it seems.
If you are unsure about the time to set aside, raise it when you speak with the clinic, as it varies with the planned repair.
Reception and waiting space at the clinic.
Back teeth can mean keeping your mouth open for a while, and it is reasonable to find that tiring. Letting us know gives us a chance to adjust.
Signal when your jaw is tiring, and we can look for a good moment to stop.
Mention any sharp feeling right away instead of waiting until the end.
Would it help to hear what comes next as we go? Just ask for that at the start.
Chewing on it again
Molars take a lot of force, so the way the new surface contacts the opposite tooth deserves your attention over the following while.
Does the repaired side touch first when you close? Phone the clinic so the contact can be reviewed.
Food catching at the new contact is worth reporting, and flossing technique is a fair thing to ask about.
Clenching affects how a restoration wears, so ask whether any added protection makes sense for you.
A rebuilt tooth can still develop new decay, which is one more reason to keep up your dental examinations.

Ask our teamIt can in many situations, depending on how large the repair is, how well the area can be isolated, and your bite. A very large defect may be better suited to another design.
Back-tooth care is provided at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6. To ask for an appointment, use the form above or telephone (204) 338-3003, and the clinic will respond with timing.
Extensive damage or weakened cusps can leave too little for a direct filling to rely on. Broader coverage may be the more predictable choice in that case.
Not automatically. Grinding and clenching influence both the design and whether protection should be considered, so mention the habit during your assessment.
Have it examined so that the timing can be discussed with facts in hand. If you are in significant discomfort, call the clinic instead of using the online form.
Nobody can give a fixed number of years. Its lifespan is shaped by size, material, bite, hygiene, habits, the quality of the bond and any new decay.
Depending on what the assessment shows, one of these related treatments could come into the conversation.
