The real test of a new crown or denture starts once you’re home in East St. Paul, outside the City of Winnipeg. Here’s how to decide when it’s worth calling our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
A fitting appointment can only tell you so much. It’s often at home, over ordinary meals and conversations, that a new piece shows you where it presses or catches. New contact points are common as you speak and chew, and adjustments are a normal part of many custom treatments.
When a return to Winnipeg takes some planning, you might be tempted to wait and see. You don’t have to decide alone, because a phone call to the McPhillips Street clinic can help East St. Paul residents work out whether something should be looked at, and how to arrange that.

Meals and long chats tend to reveal what a brief fitting appointment couldn’t.
A conversation first can help you prepare for a return visit, if you need one.
Hold on to all the fragments so they can be assessed by your dentist at the clinic.
Fixed restorations and removable appliances can give different signals. Neither list is a diagnosis, and only an assessment can explain what’s actually going on.
A fixed restoration should relate well to the teeth beside it and to those it bites against.
Removable pieces have to balance retention, speech and chewing, and that’s rarely perfect on day one.
Timely adjustments help to improve comfort and protect the tissues. Put simply, don’t assume you should just grin and bear it until your next planned visit.
These are general stages for a follow-up after a fitting. What actually happens will depend on what you report and what your dentist sees.
Request your visitTell the clinic which piece is involved and what you’ve been noticing. You can then discuss how soon it seems sensible to come in.
Bring the appliance or any pieces with you. Your dentist looks at it together with the teeth and tissues it relates to.
An adjustment may be enough. In other cases, repair, more time, new records or a return for refinement could be needed.
After a change has been made, bite, contact and comfort are reviewed. Ask what to watch for before you make your way home.
A few notes made at home can help you describe the problem, even if it isn’t bothering you on the day of your appointment. Remember that sore spots may come and go.
Ask how long a follow-up may take, and whether any cost may apply, before you arrange your time away from home.
A consultation desk beside a shaded window, and the clinic’s front counter.
Some new work feels a little strange initially, which can make it hard to know what counts as a problem. If an area is rubbing, catching or feeling high, you’re allowed to ask.
Calling about a small annoyance isn’t a nuisance, even if you’re not sure it matters.
Irritated tissue is worth mentioning, because adjustments are partly meant to protect it.
If something seems off after days of wear, it’s reasonable to bring it up with us.
Months or years from now
Your needs can change long after the first adjustments are over. Dentures sit on tissues that change shape, and any custom piece can be damaged, so it’s useful to know how you’d respond.
Changes in supporting tissues may play a part. Phone to ask about an assessment instead of relying on home remedies.
Place everything in a protected container and keep glue well away from it. Then call to find out how it can be assessed.
Let the clinic know about a new phone number or new health information so it’s on hand when you next need care.

You don’t have to work that out by yourself. Describe the problem over the phone so the clinic can talk about next steps. Persistent rubbing, catching or a high feeling are all fair reasons to call.
An adjustment requires the piece and your mouth to be examined, so a phone call can’t replace it. What a call can do is help you decide on and arrange the visit.
Protect the denture and all the fragments, and don’t use household adhesive, since it may distort the fit. Call the clinic, explain your situation, and ask how soon an assessment could be arranged.
Not necessarily. It depends on what was changed and how it behaves afterward. Ask your dentist what to watch for, and phone if the concern returns or a new one develops.
