You have agreed to the crown, and the preparation visit is on your calendar. Meadow Land residents can walk through that day here, from arriving at our McPhillips Street clinic to the evening afterward.
Let's find a time
Once a crown has been decided on, most of the remaining uncertainty tends to gather around one appointment. It is the visit when the tooth is shaped and recorded, so it is natural to wonder what it will feel like and how you will be once it is over.
This page stays on that single day at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg. It covers what happens in the chair, what you may notice as the area wakes up, and what is different about having a temporary on the tooth. If you are still deciding whether you need a crown at all, your first step is an assessment, and the visit described here would come afterward.

Local anesthetic is normally used, so expect to notice pressure or vibration more than anything else.
The tooth is shaped, and records of its form, your bite and the shade are collected for the crown.
You may walk out with a temporary covering, plus guidance on how to eat and clean around it.
Both jobs are done with the tooth numbed, and they depend on each other. The crown can only be accurate if the tooth has been prepared and captured with care.
Space has to be created so that the crown can cover the visible tooth without crowding your bite.
Next comes the information that guides the custom crown, gathered after the tooth has reached its final prepared shape.
The length of this visit depends on your tooth and treatment plan, so ask when you confirm the time. It helps with planning the rest of your day.
Everyone’s appointment is planned around their own tooth, so details may vary. This is the general shape of what most custom crown preparation visits involve.
Request your visitShare any change in your health or medications since your assessment, as well as any question that has come up. Now is a good moment to voice nerves.
The area is numbed, and the shaping begins after that. Scan or impression, bite record and shade follow, and these complete the work for the lab.
A temporary crown may be in place by now. Ask for its care instructions to be repeated if you need, since freezing can make it hard to concentrate.
Sensation returns gradually. You may notice some temporary sensitivity or gum tenderness, which should improve. Keep sticky foods away from that tooth.
Nothing elaborate is called for. A few small arrangements can make for a calmer appointment and spare you from trying to remember things while your mouth is numb.
If you feel unwell, or the tooth has changed in a way that concerns you, contact the clinic and ask whether anything about the appointment should change.
The reception desk with its glass partition, and a treatment chair headrest.
Being numbed does not mean you have to stay silent. If something is sharp rather than dull, raise a hand or make a sound, and ask beforehand how you can most easily signal that.
Pressure and vibration are expected. Anything that feels like real pain should be brought up straight away.
Keeping your mouth open can get tiring, so let your dentist know if you could use a moment to rest.
If updates help you stay settled, ask for a quick word before each new stage begins.
Between now and placement
After your appointment, the prepared tooth depends on its temporary cover. That cover keeps it protected and holds the spacing, as long as it is treated with some gentleness.
Leave sticky foods alone, since they can tug at a temporary. You will be told about anything else that applies to your tooth.
Keep cleaning the area, but do it more gently, following what you were shown on the day of your preparation.
Call (204) 338-3003 if the temporary comes off, your bite feels wrong or the sensitivity is not improving as expected.
Try not to postpone placement without speaking to the clinic, because a temporary is meant only for the short term.

Helpful details about dental crowns in Meadow Land.
Ask our teamYou should be numb, as local anesthetic is normally used. Sensations of pressure or vibration are still possible, so tell your dentist if anything feels sharp.
It can show up as a passing reaction in the tooth, or as tenderness in the gum. This should improve, and you should contact the clinic if it does not.
Many practical questions depend on your own visit, so raise this when you confirm your time. Remember that the area may remain numb for a while after you leave.
It shows how your upper and lower teeth meet, so that the crown can be built to fit that contact. Your dentist will tell you exactly what to do when it is taken.
It is short-term cover for the prepared tooth. Sticky foods and rough cleaning can disturb it, and it still needs to protect the tooth until your crown is ready.
Please call (204) 338-3003 and speak with the clinic. If you already have a temporary on, say so, as this may affect what they advise.
