Coming to Winnipeg from elsewhere in Manitoba takes planning, and custom dental work often means more than one trip. Ask us how the appointments are likely to fall before you commit.
Let's find a time
For Manitoba patients who live outside the city, the main practical issue with custom restorations is the number of trips. Records are taken at one stage, the piece is made after that, and it must then be fitted in person. Complex work may add further planning or fitting appointments.
Every one of those stages happens in Winnipeg, at the McPhillips Street clinic. An exact schedule can’t be set until your dentist has assessed you, but you can certainly ask what the sequence might look like so you can start thinking about time away from home.

Your dentist can outline what is expected to happen, and in what order, once your needs are known.
Details from your current dental clinic, and any existing appliance, give useful background.
Custom work has to be tried in your mouth, so a return appointment is part of the picture.
Two things drive the appointment count: what is being made, and what must be collected or tried along the way. Knowing this makes it easier to ask useful questions when you first call.
A straightforward fixed restoration and a set of dentures don’t follow identical paths, and neither has a universal timeline.
Records guide fabrication, and they vary by case, so some of them might be taken across more than one visit.
Please treat any early outline as a guide. An assessment may change it, and a fitting can reveal the need for refinement.
Here is the general order to keep in mind when you’re arranging time off or a ride into the city. Your own case may need extra stages.
Request your visitYour dentist evaluates your needs and explains the options. Use this appointment to mention how far you are coming and ask what the next stages involve.
The tooth or area is prepared if needed, then the scans or impressions, bite details and shade are gathered. This might happen at your first visit or a later one.
Your restoration or appliance is produced from those records while you’re away. If you have a temporary, keep to the instructions for its care.
Back at the clinic, your dentist reviews the piece for contact, bite, comfort, appearance and function. Should it need more work, another trip might be necessary.
A little groundwork can make your initial appointment more useful, particularly if your dental history sits with another clinic somewhere else in the province.
Call ahead to ask about appointment length and estimated costs, which also gives you a chance to raise insurance or CDCP questions before travelling.
The waiting area and front desk at our Winnipeg clinic.
When a return trip takes planning, it’s especially useful to speak up at the fitting. Anything that rubs, catches, feels high or changes how you speak can be evaluated while you’re here.
Close your teeth together, and try some speaking, so that problems have a chance to show up.
Needing a change after the first days of wear doesn’t mean something has gone wrong.
Before leaving, find out what you should keep an eye on over the following days.
Back at home
Problems sometimes appear only after you have returned home and resumed normal eating and talking. A phone call is a sensible first step in working out what should happen next.
Describe what has changed, and ask the clinic what arranging an assessment would involve. New contact points are common once a piece is in regular use.
Put every fragment in a protective container and bring it all along. Don’t attempt a fix with glue from home, as it may warp the fit and damage the material.
Don’t assume a repair can be done on arrival. Depending on what is found, it may take additional time or new records.

It varies with the work. Expect at least separate stages for records and fitting in most custom cases, with complex treatment possibly requiring more. Your dentist can describe the likely order after assessing you.
You can ask. Provide your previous clinic’s details when you contact us so we can discuss whether a transfer is useful. New records may still be required for the restoration being made.
Save all the fragments, however tiny, keep them safe and avoid household adhesive. Then call the clinic to discuss your situation, because the pieces and your tissues have to be assessed before a repair is chosen.
Possibly. New contact points are common with a new appliance as you talk and eat, and leaving them can irritate your tissues. If something bothers you, phone us so we can talk about the next step.
