Restorative & Prosthodontics for Old Kildonan Residents
Custom dental work is rarely done in a single sitting. Here is why the stages exist, and how to get by with a temporary, a healing site or a trial denture along the way.

The in-between stretch
Why custom work comes in stages.
If you live in Old Kildonan, in Winnipeg, and have started treatment or are thinking about it, the middle stage may be what puzzles you. Custom restorations are made outside the mouth from a scan or impression, bite record and shade details, so there is usually a gap between preparing a tooth and placing the final piece.
Implants add a biological wait, because bone needs to heal around them before anything is attached. Dentures pass through try-ins so that speech and bite can be judged before processing. Timing varies with the material and the plan, and our team at McPhillips Street can tell you what to expect for your own treatment.
Explore restorative & prosthodontics
Temporaries have limits
An interim crown or bridge protects and holds space, but it needs gentler chewing and more careful cleaning.
Waiting can be doing something
During integration, bone is healing around the implant while the area is protected and monitored.
Trial stages exist for you
Try-ins and provisional work are the moments to speak up about bite, comfort or appearance before anything is final.
Each treatment’s own timeline

Assessment
Findings from the exam and any imaging establish what is being treated, and whether anything has to be dealt with ahead of it.
- 02
Preparation and records
A tooth is numbed and shaped, or an implant is placed, and details of fit and colour are captured for making the final work.
- 03
The waiting stage
A temporary or a healing period covers this stretch. Follow what you were told about eating and cleaning, and report anything that moves.
- 04
Final fitting
Fit, contacts, bite and looks are verified, then changes are made as required before the restoration is secured.

A little clarity before your visit
Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about restorative & prosthodontics in Old Kildonan.
Ask our teamWhat should I do if my temporary crown comes off?
Phone us and explain how it came loose. A temporary protects the prepared tooth and keeps its space, so it should not be left off and forgotten.
What should I avoid eating with a temporary?
Stay away from sticky foods and be gentle on that side. Temporary materials are less durable than the final restoration, so the instructions you were given are worth following closely.
Why does the prepared tooth feel sensitive between visits?
Temporary sensitivity or gum tenderness can occur after preparation and should improve. If it is getting worse or lingering, contact the clinic.
Can I get a tooth in the space while an implant heals?
That depends on the site and your plan, so ask at the outset how the area would look and function during healing.
What if something feels off at the try-in?
Say so. Whether it is a denture tooth position or a crown’s shape, these checks exist so that changes can be considered before the work is finalized.
Is there follow-up once the final piece is in?
Often, yes. Dentures commonly need adjustments, and implant work is followed by hygiene and bite review. Regular examinations continue for all restorations.
How can Old Kildonan residents find out how many visits they would need?
Ask after your assessment, because the count depends on the treatment. To set one up, use the form or call (204) 338-3003 about a visit on McPhillips Street.
