I live in Sinclair Park. Who do I talk to about lab-made dental work?+
Start with the clinic by phoning (204) 338-3003 or using the form on this page. Visits take place at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6, and the dentist there can explain how your restoration would be handled.
Is my dentist still responsible if a lab makes the piece?+
Your dentist assesses you, plans the restoration, and checks the finished work in your mouth before it is accepted. Laboratory collaboration is part of that care and doesn’t replace it.
What does the prescription tell the people making my restoration?+
It sets out what is to be made and for what clinical purpose, for you specifically. Records such as scans, bite information and shade details accompany it.
Do I need to explain what I want to anyone besides my dentist?+
Tell your dentist. Your wishes about appearance and function can then be taken into account when planning and recording the details for fabrication.
What if the finished piece doesn’t match what was planned?+
It can be adjusted, or your dentist can return it for refinement when that’s warranted. Say so at the fitting if something seems different from what you discussed.
