Who does what

Your Dentist Stays Responsible for the Result

If you live in Winnipeg North and you’re having something custom made, it helps to know how the responsibilities divide. Your dentist evaluates the tooth or tissues and plans the restoration. Fabrication then follows that prescription. The finished work comes back to your dentist, who checks it in your mouth.

So laboratory collaboration isn’t a separate service you have to manage or schedule. Your point of contact remains the dental team at Winnipeg North Dental, and all your appointments happen at the McPhillips Street clinic.

One team to talk to

Questions about your restoration go to the dental team looking after your treatment.

A clinical check first

Work is assessed in your mouth by your dentist before it is accepted as finished.

Room to refine

If the piece isn’t right, it can be adjusted or returned for further work when needed.

Dividing up the work

The clinical side and the fabrication side.

A well-made restoration depends on both halves doing their job. Here is what belongs to each, so you know which questions to raise at your appointment.

At the clinic

Your dentist handles everything that requires examining you, explaining choices and preparing the treatment area.

  • Assessing your needs and setting out the options.
  • Preparing the tooth or area being treated.
  • Taking the scans or impressions, bite details and shade information.
  • Reviewing the finished piece and deciding whether it is ready.

During fabrication

The piece is then produced to the prescription, for one patient and one purpose, using the records from your visit.

  • Fixed work such as crowns and bridges.
  • Full, partial and implant-supported removable dentures.
  • Custom implant components that sit above the gumline.
  • Selected guards, trays and other devices your dentist prescribes.

The records required change from one kind of restoration to another, and complex cases may mean additional planning or fitting visits.

Your side of the process

What each stage asks of you.

Most of the technical work happens out of sight. Your part is mainly to share what you want, sit for the records and be frank at the fitting.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Tell us your goal

    Explain what is bothering you and what you are hoping for. Your dentist assesses your mouth and sets out the options that may suit you.

  2. 02

    Sit for your records

    Depending on the work, this could include scans or impressions, bite records, photographs and shade selection.

  3. 03

    Wait while it is made

    Fabrication takes place between appointments. If you were given a temporary, follow the instructions you received for looking after it.

  4. 04

    Give honest feedback

    At the fitting, your dentist reviews contact, bite, comfort, looks and function, and your impressions count as well. Further refinement remains possible at this point.

Getting ready to come in

A short list before your McPhillips Street visit.

You don’t need any technical knowledge to begin. A little information about your health and your existing dental work makes the first conversation more productive.

When you contact the clinic, ask about appointment length and estimated costs so you can plan ahead and talk through any insurance or CDCP questions.

Worth having with you

  • An up-to-date list of the medications you take.
  • CDCP or insurance paperwork, if you have either.
  • The denture, guard or other appliance you currently use, if any.
  • Notes on where your existing dental work feels wrong.

Getting the feel right

Fit is judged in your mouth, not on a workbench.

Only you can say how a restoration feels when you chew or speak. Rubbing, catching and high spots are useful information, and they give your dentist something specific to evaluate.

Point to the spot

Showing exactly where a piece presses or snags helps your dentist focus the assessment.

Mention your speech

A denture or appliance that changes how you sound is a fair thing to bring up.

Don’t wait it out

Prompt adjustments can make things more comfortable and help protect your tissues.

Later on

Who to call when something changes.

After your fitting, the same clinic remains your first call. That holds for a minor irritation as much as for a chipped restoration or a cracked appliance.

01

A sore or rubbing spot

Contact points can appear as you begin using new work every day. Call and describe what you are feeling so a review can be arranged.

02

A chip or a crack

Gather every fragment, however small, and store them somewhere protected. Skip household adhesives, since they can damage the material and complicate repair.

03

Repair or replace?

An adjustment, a repair or a replacement might each be appropriate. The state of the pieces and of the underlying tissues guides that decision.

Do I deal with the laboratory myself?

Your conversations stay with your dentist and the clinic team. Your dentist prescribes the work, supplies the clinical records and evaluates the result, so you can direct your questions to them.

Who decides whether a restoration is finished?

Your dentist reviews it in your mouth before accepting it. Should the fit or the look fall short of what was planned, the work may be adjusted or returned for refinement.

What if the colour doesn’t look right to me?

Say so at the fitting. Shade gets judged with the restoration in place and in suitable light, and refinement may be recommended prior to final acceptance if it doesn’t meet the clinical plan.

My denture broke. Can you fix it quickly?

Some repairs can move quickly, while others take longer or need fresh records. Either way, the denture and the tissues supporting it must be assessed first, so please phone the clinic and keep all the pieces.

Can I ask for an estimate before going ahead?

Please do. The cost depends on what is being prescribed, and the amount you pay depends on your plan and the services provided, so raise it with the clinic before treatment begins.
