Your tooth has been prepared and the final piece isn’t ready yet. Templeton-Sinclair residents wearing a temporary can read what it’s for and when to phone us.
Let's find a time
It can feel strange to leave an appointment with something that isn’t the finished result. A temporary has a practical purpose: it can shield a prepared tooth and help maintain how the tooth looks or works, while your records are being turned into the permanent restoration.
How long that stretch lasts varies with the type of work, the materials and the steps involved, and your dentist will outline the expected order of events. For Templeton-Sinclair residents, treatment and any concerns about a temporary are handled at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street.

It helps protect the prepared tooth during the time your restoration is being produced.
What you’re told to do with your temporary applies until your next appointment.
If it feels wrong or comes loose, calling the clinic is the right next step.
The two aren’t meant to be the same thing. One bridges a gap in time, and the other is made from your detailed records to be checked and accepted as the finished result.
Placed after your tooth has been prepared, this piece simply gets you from one stage of treatment to the next.
Fabrication draws on the clinical information your dentist gathered, so this is where shape, bite and colour are addressed in detail.
Not every lab-made treatment involves a temporary. Whether you need one is decided as part of your own treatment plan.
Seeing where you are in the sequence can make the waiting feel more manageable. Complex cases can involve extra planning or fitting appointments.
Request your visitAfter assessing your needs and explaining the options, your dentist gets the tooth or area ready for its restoration.
Your dentist takes a scan or impression, together with bite and shade information, for the fabrication stage.
Where one is used, it stays on duty while the prescribed restoration is produced from your records.
Contact, bite, comfort, appearance and function get checked in your mouth, and the work can be adjusted or returned if necessary.
There isn’t much for you to do during this stage, apart from following your instructions and paying attention to anything that feels different from when you left.
Unsure what your instructions said about eating or cleaning? It’s perfectly reasonable to phone and ask again.
The reception desk and a treatment room at our clinic.
A temporary isn’t your finished restoration, but that doesn’t mean a problem with it should be ignored. Describing what you’re noticing lets the clinic tell you whether it needs to be looked at.
Tell us if your teeth seem to touch on the temporary before anywhere else.
Call the clinic and explain what happened, keeping hold of the temporary if you can.
Appearance is assessed properly on the final work, so bring up any worries about it.
When the final piece arrives
Your dentist assesses the finished restoration in your mouth before it’s accepted. After that, adjustments may still be part of the picture, and it helps to speak up about what you notice.
Shade is judged with the restoration in place under suitable lighting, so you’re able to give your view at the fitting itself.
A restoration has to work with the opposing bite, and your own sense of how your teeth come together is useful information.
A chip in finished work should be assessed before it’s repaired. Save any fragment, keep it protected and avoid adhesive.
Questions after your final fitting are still worth raising with the clinic.

Ask our teamPhone Winnipeg North Dental at (204) 338-3003 and explain what happened. Care takes place at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6, and the clinic can advise you on what to do next.
No single answer applies. The type of restoration, its complexity, the materials, the laboratory steps and any need for a trial or extra record all play a part, so ask your dentist what to expect in your case.
Rely on the care instructions you received, because they’re specific to your treatment. If you’ve misplaced them or aren’t sure, the clinic can go over them with you.
Treat it as a stopgap rather than a preview. Your final restoration is made from separate shape, bite and shade records, and its appearance is reviewed at the fitting.
It may feel different, as it’s a separate piece. Point out anywhere that feels high, catches or rubs, so your dentist can evaluate it.
