Maybe it’s the thought of impression material, or simply of sitting through several visits. Robertson residents can ask what each stage involves before deciding anything.
Let's find a time
Plenty of people put off a crown or a denture for reasons that have little to do with the tooth. A bad memory of an impression tray, a tendency to gag, or dread of the unknown can be enough. Those are ordinary concerns, and they’re worth saying aloud.
If that sounds like you and you live in Robertson, you’re welcome to request a conversation at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. Records can be taken in more than one way, so it’s fair to ask which would apply to your treatment, and to hear each step described before it starts.

Requesting a description of each step is a reasonable part of agreeing to treatment.
Gagging, a sore jaw or plain nerves are all useful for your dentist to know about.
Every record has a job, and it’s easier to tolerate something you understand.
These two stages tend to attract the most worry, mostly because they’re unfamiliar. Here is what each is trying to accomplish.
A maker needs an accurate copy of your teeth and the surrounding tissues, gathered by an impression or a digital scan.
At a fitting your dentist looks over contact, bite, comfort, appearance and function with the piece in position.
Which records and how many appointments you’d need depend on what’s being made, so your dentist is the one who can give specifics.
None of this has to be taken on trust. You can stop and ask what’s coming next at any of these points.
Request your visitYour needs are assessed and options laid out. This is a good moment to bring up what has made past dental visits hard for you.
Shape, bite and shade information get collected, along with anything else your particular restoration requires. You can ask to have each one explained first.
Nothing is asked of you during fabrication itself. Some people find that this pause gives them time to write down further questions.
With the work in your mouth, the dentist checks it and asks how it feels. Adjustments or a return for refinement can follow when needed.
It can be hard to put a fear into words while you’re sitting in a dental chair. Jotting it down ahead of time means you can simply hand over the list or read from it.
If you’d prefer to discuss your concerns by phone before any appointment, ask when you call.
A consultation desk beside a window, and a treatment room with a dental chair.
Different things reassure different people. Some want each step narrated, while others would rather hear only the essentials. Saying which you prefer gives everyone a better chance of getting it right.
Choose between a running explanation and a quick summary, and change your mind whenever you like.
Settle on a signal in advance so you can ask for a pause without having to speak.
Point out sensitive spots before records are taken or a piece is tried in.
Afterward
If returning makes you anxious, it can help to know that adjustment appointments are common with custom work. New contact points may show up as you talk and eat, and having them checked is simply part of the process.
A new piece can seem strange for a while. Tell the clinic where it rubs or catches, so it can be evaluated instead of endured.
Feeling unsure about complaining is common. Reporting a problem gives your dentist what they need, and it needn’t feel like criticism.
Resist the urge to mend it yourself, since household glue can distort the fit. Save the pieces safely and bring them along.
A quick phone call can settle a worry that might otherwise keep you up at night.

Records may be taken either way, and the choice depends on what’s being made. Ask your dentist what’s suitable for your restoration, and share any difficulty you’ve had with impressions.
Yes, please do. Knowing this ahead of time gives your dentist the chance to talk with you about how records could be taken and what might make the process easier.
People’s experiences vary, and it depends on the treatment involved. Tell your dentist about tender areas beforehand, and speak up if something is uncomfortable while the piece is being checked.
That’s a good thing to raise with your dentist. Ask about the timing that applies to your tooth or situation, and what waiting could mean for it, so that you can decide with the facts in hand.
