Once your records are taken, there can be a quiet period before your fitting. River Trail residents can find out what’s happening during that gap, and call our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg with questions.
Let's find a time
After you’ve had scans or impressions, nothing seems to be happening from your side. In fact, this is when your restoration or appliance is actually being produced, following a prescription and the clinical records collected for your particular case.
How long that takes varies with the type of work, its complexity, the materials and the laboratory steps involved. If you live in River Trail and you’re in the middle of this stage, your dentist at the McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg can tell you what’s expected next.
Explore our dental laboratory
Shape, bite, shade and function details all guide the making of your piece.
It’s there to protect a prepared tooth and help with appearance or function for now.
You don’t need to hold them until the fitting. A call to the clinic is always an option.
While the prescribed work is being made, you’re carrying on with daily life, possibly with a temporary in place. Each side of this has its own concerns.
The records give direction on how the finished result should fit, function and look.
Not everyone has a temporary, but if you do, it stands in until the final work is ready.
Whether you’ll have a temporary, and for how long, depends on your treatment. Ask your dentist so that you know what to expect in your own case.
Seeing this quiet phase as one link in a chain may make it less mysterious. Some plans have extra links, especially when the work is complex.
Request your visitYour dentist has assessed you, explained your options and prepared the tooth or area where needed. The records come next or at the same visit.
Scans or impressions, bite information and shade details become the basis for making your restoration or appliance as prescribed.
Fabrication proceeds, and you look after any temporary as directed. You might be called in for a trial or another record if the case needs one.
Your dentist tries the piece in, reviewing contact, bite, comfort, appearance and function, then adjusts it or sends it back to be refined.
This stretch is a handy time to think about what you want to check when the finished piece arrives. Having a few things in mind can make that visit go more smoothly.
If you haven’t already asked, this is a sensible time to check on appointment length and estimated costs for the visits still to come.
A rug and blue bench in the waiting area, and a white desk in a consultation room.
Having a provisional tooth, or a gap you’re waiting to have filled, can leave you self-conscious or impatient. Tell the clinic if something about this stage is bothering you.
Since a temporary isn’t the final work, mention how it feels and ask if that’s expected.
Save it and phone us. A prepared tooth has been relying on it for protection.
It’s fine to call and ask where things stand, or what the next stage is likely to be.
Once the wait is over
The fitting ends the waiting but not necessarily the process. A new piece often needs a period of use before you can tell how it really behaves.
The final work won’t necessarily feel like a temporary did. Give your dentist your impressions rather than assuming that it’s wrong or right.
Contact points can come to light as you speak and chew, and getting them adjusted soon can spare your tissues from irritation.
Find out who to contact if something happens. If a piece breaks, retain the fragments, protect them, and don’t use any glue from home.
Still waiting and wondering about the next stage? Please ask.

They guide fabrication. Shape, bite, shade and functional details inform how the prescribed piece is made so it can later be assessed in your mouth by your dentist.
Timing varies with the type and complexity of the work, the materials, the steps involved and whether a trial or extra record is required. You’re welcome to ask your dentist for the expected order of events.
It’s possible. Some cases benefit from a trial, or need another record, and complex work may involve more than one planning or fitting appointment. Your dentist can say whether this seems likely for you.
Follow the instructions given when it was placed, since its job is to protect the prepared tooth and maintain looks or function. If you’ve lost track of them, simply call and ask again.
