The preparation is behind you and the custom piece is made. For Crescentwood residents returning to our Winnipeg clinic, here is what the bonding visit is for and what to ask while you are there.
Let's find a time
By this point, the tooth has been prepared and recorded, and the restoration has been fabricated in the planned material. What remains is confirming that it seats properly, that your teeth meet comfortably on it and that it is attached securely.
Each of those checks matters, because fit and bite affect how the restoration feels and how well it holds up. If you live in Crescentwood, in Winnipeg, this last appointment is held at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street, as the earlier ones were.
Explore inlays & onlays
The dentist confirms the piece sits fully into the prepared space.
Your teeth are brought together to find and smooth any spot that meets too early.
Once everything looks right, the restoration is bonded and its surface finished.
Whether your tooth was planned for an inlay or an onlay, the bonding visit follows a similar pattern. The difference lies in how much of the chewing surface the piece covers.
The piece fills the central part of the chewing surface, with natural cusps standing around it. Its edges meet enamel on several sides.
The piece covers at least one cusp as well as part of the chewing surface. Because it forms a biting peak, bite checking can take extra care.
If anything about the planned design changed during preparation, ask the dentist to remind you which type you are receiving before it is bonded.
Treat this as a rough guide to the bonding appointment. The exact order can differ with your tooth and the material your piece is made from.
Request your visitIf a temporary has been protecting the tooth, it is taken off and the prepared surface is cleaned.
The restoration is placed without being attached, so its seating and the contacts with neighbouring teeth can be assessed.
You close and move your jaw while the dentist looks for high points, adjusting the piece until the bite is balanced.
The area is kept dry, the restoration is adhesively secured, and its margins and surface are polished.
What you noticed while wearing a temporary can be useful to share. It helps the dentist understand how the tooth has been behaving between visits.
A temporary that drops out, or a tooth that starts aching while you wait to have the final piece bonded, is worth a phone call to the clinic for advice.
Waiting chairs, a bench and the reception counter.
Whether you are frozen for bonding is worth asking about beforehand. A tooth that feels a bit tender once the piece is attached is not unusual, and it generally calms down.
Thin marking paper shows where your teeth meet, so expect to be asked to bite and grind gently several times.
Moisture control is part of bonding, so the dentist works to keep saliva away from the tooth.
Mild sensitivity in the days that follow can occur and should settle on its own.
The days after
The first meals on the restored tooth are a good test of the bite. If anything feels off, it is better to call than to get used to it.
If the tooth seems to meet first or feels tall, a small adjustment may be needed.
Brushing and cleaning between the teeth should include the edges of the new restoration.
Touchiness that keeps hanging on, a piece you can feel shifting, or a sharp ridge your tongue catches on are all worth a call.
Even a piece that went in perfectly has no set number of years ahead of it. What happens next depends on the tooth beneath, how it was shaped and bonded, whether the field stayed dry, your bite and any grinding, plus your cleaning and fresh decay.

Helpful details about inlays & onlays in Crescentwood.
Ask our teamIf you have one, it is removed and the tooth surface is cleaned before the custom restoration is tried in.
This shows whether it seats fully and touches the neighbouring teeth properly. Adjustments are easier to make before bonding.
The restoration may be meeting the opposing tooth too early. Call the clinic so the bite can be checked and adjusted if needed.
Ask the dentist at the end of your appointment, since guidance can depend on the material and whether you are still numb.
Finishing smooths the surface and the margins where the restoration meets enamel, which helps it feel natural to your tongue and easier to clean.
