If someone else has to bring you from Birds Hill into Winnipeg, it helps to know how much you’ll be asking of them. Our McPhillips Street clinic can talk through what’s involved in custom dental work.
Let's find a time
Asking a favour once is easy. Asking several times, with no clear idea of how often or for how long, is harder. That can be enough to make someone postpone a denture or a crown they really do need, which is a shame when a few questions could clear things up.
This page is for Birds Hill residents who don’t drive themselves to appointments in Winnipeg. It lays out the kinds of visits that lab-made work usually involves, and what to find out from the McPhillips Street clinic before you start lining up rides.
Explore our dental laboratory
Your driver will want to know how long a given appointment could run.
One well-prepared call can spare a lot of back and forth later.
If you depend on rides, say so while you’re discussing dates and times.
Your plans will work better if you’ve thought about them from both seats in the car. Neither list can be fully answered before your dentist has assessed you, but most of it is worth asking.
These are about the treatment itself, and they’ll shape how many rides you need to arrange.
A person giving up their time will appreciate having a few plain facts to go on.
Your driver’s convenience matters, but don’t let it hurry a fitting. If a piece doesn’t feel right, say so, even when you know someone’s waiting for you.
The usual pattern for custom work has four parts, though not all of them need you in the chair. More complex work can add further planning or fitting appointments.
Request your visitYour dentist assesses your needs and explains the options. This is the moment to ask for an outline of what’s to come.
Scans or impressions, bite information and shade are recorded. A tooth may also be prepared at this point, depending on your plan.
The restoration or appliance is produced from your records, and this part doesn’t involve you. Follow the care instructions for any temporary.
Your dentist checks how it fits, functions and looks. If it needs refining, you may have one more trip to arrange.
Being able to tell your driver what you know, and what you don’t yet know, makes the request simpler. It also lets them plan for a change, should one come up.
Ask how long you should allow for each type of appointment, and pass on the honest answer, including any uncertainty, to whoever’s driving you.
A reclined chair in pale blue upholstery, and a white counter with plants and an orchid.
Delaying dental work so you don’t have to trouble anyone is a very common instinct. Getting a clear picture of what’s involved tends to make the request much smaller than you’d feared.
Specific dates and rough timing are easier for someone to agree to than an open-ended favour.
Rubbing or a high spot is worth raising, regardless of who’s waiting.
If your ride falls through, call so that the appointment can be discussed.
After the fitting
Adjustments are common with custom pieces, and they aren’t a sign that anything went wrong. New contact points may only show up once you’ve been talking and eating at home.
Phone to describe what you’re feeling before you ask for a lift. Then you’ll have a better idea of what the visit involves.
Keep every fragment together somewhere safe, and avoid household glue while you sort out a way to get to the clinic.
The tissues under a denture change, so a once-good fit can loosen. Call rather than hoping it’ll settle by itself.
Can’t get a ride as soon as you’d like? Let the clinic know that when you call about a problem.

Helpful details about our dental laboratory in Birds Hill.
Ask our teamCall (204) 338-3003 or send the form, mentioning that you rely on a ride. You’d be seen at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6, and the clinic will confirm the appointment.
Ask when the appointment is being arranged, as it depends on what’s planned for that visit. A records appointment and a fitting may be quite different, particularly on more complex cases.
You can ask whether your sequence allows for it, though your dentist has to determine what’s clinically sensible. Trial stages and refinements exist for a reason, so shortcuts may not suit your case.
That depends on what’s being done, so raise it ahead of time. Ask about what you should expect after that specific visit, and let your driver know what you learn.
Phone the clinic to explain the situation and ask about rebooking. Keep following the care instructions you’ve been given, and mention it if the temporary feels loose or uncomfortable.
If you’d like to understand a recommendation before you start asking for rides, these may help. Only an assessment can say what would fit your own situation.
