Pharmacy shelves and websites sell guards, trays and repair kits, so why see a dentist? Brooklands residents can learn what prescribed custom work involves.
Let's find a time
Generic dental products are designed to suit many mouths, and they’re sold without anybody examining yours. A prescribed restoration or appliance starts from the other direction, with one patient, one clinical purpose and records of that person’s teeth. Your dentist then checks the result in your mouth before accepting it.
That doesn’t make custom the right answer every time, and only an assessment can show what you actually need. If you’re in Brooklands and comparing your choices, you can ask about them at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. Bring along whatever you’ve been using, because it may tell your dentist something too.

Each prescribed piece has a specific patient and a specific purpose behind it.
Your own scans or impressions and bite details guide how it’s produced.
Fit and function get assessed in your mouth, with adjustments where needed.
Instead of asking which is better overall, it’s more useful to ask what each one involves. Here’s how a prescription changes the process.
The process begins with an examination, so a dentist has already looked at the problem you’re hoping to address.
These are general-purpose items, and it’s worth asking your dentist how they’d relate to your situation.
Tell your dentist about anything you’ve been using, including whitening trays, guards or repair kits, so it can be taken into account.
If a prescribed restoration or appliance turns out to be appropriate for you, the stages are straightforward, though the records vary with what’s being made.
Request your visitMaybe you’re grinding at night, or perhaps a denture has broken. Your dentist assesses that concern and sets out which options might be appropriate.
Records of your teeth and tissues are taken, and other information such as bite or shade if the piece requires it.
A prescription and your records direct the making of the item, so it’s produced for your situation and not for mouths in general.
When it’s ready, it’s placed and checked for comfort and function. Your dentist can adjust it, or send it back if it needs refining.
Nobody will scold you for trying a drugstore product first. Seeing what you’ve been using, and hearing how it worked, can actually help your dentist understand what you were trying to solve.
Don’t worry if the product is thrown out or lost. Simply describe what it was and how you used it.
Reception with a textured rug in front, and a treatment room with cabinets.
Whatever you end up with, it needs to work in your daily routine. Mention what bothered you about products you’ve already tried, whether bulk, taste or how they stayed in place, so these points can be part of the discussion.
Describe where something felt too thick, or made it difficult to close your mouth.
Explain when a product moved around, since retention is a key part of custom design.
Be frank if a device ended up in a drawer, and tell your dentist why that was.
Living with the finished piece
Being made for you doesn’t mean a piece will feel perfect from the first moment. Adjusting often remains part of the process, and contact points can appear as you start speaking and chewing with it.
New things in the mouth take some getting used to. If a particular place presses or rubs, ask to have it checked instead of waiting it out.
If your appliance or denture is damaged, resist reaching for a store-bought fix. Bring it in along with all of its pieces for an assessment.
Teeth and tissues don’t remain the same forever. Whenever something stops fitting as it once did, it’s reasonable to have it looked at again.
Have a question about a product you’re considering? Bring it up when you contact the clinic.

Have it assessed first. Household glues are known to damage materials and distort fit, so ask the clinic before applying any product, and hold on to every piece.
It means the piece was made for your particular purpose and reviewed by your dentist. Whether you need one in the first place is what the assessment is there to answer.
