You have heard that your repair would be custom-made, away from your mouth. If you are wondering how that actually works, this page follows the journey from start to finish.
Let's find a time
Unlike resin sculpted right on the tooth, a custom restoration starts as a record of the prepared area, captured by scan or impression. From that record, a ceramic or other planned material is fabricated as an inlay, onlay, veneer or crown. It returns to the tooth only when it is ready for fitting.
Care for Meadow Land residents happens at the clinic, on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg. Whether this route suits you is something an examination has to establish, because plenty of teeth can be managed well with direct composite.

A scan or impression gives the design something accurate to work from, in place of guesswork.
The finished piece is tried against the tooth, and then bonded or cemented into position.
Knowing what comes next can make a process with several stages feel a good deal simpler.
Size is often the deciding factor, though it is not the only thing considered. Here is what tends to prompt the recommendation, and what the options are.
A custom design may be raised when building material directly on the tooth looks less predictable.
These designs differ mainly in how much of the tooth they cover, and where they are used.
Stages and scheduling vary from one case to the next, so ask how many appointments your own plan is expected to require.
Not every plan looks the same, but a typical custom restoration moves through something like the following sequence.
Request your visitAfter the tooth is assessed, your dentist explains why a custom piece is advised, and what form and material it would use.
Decay or damaged material is removed, and the prepared tooth is captured with a scan or an impression.
The restoration is made from that record. Ask what to expect from the tooth while it is being made.
Shape, shade, contact and bite are checked before the piece is bonded or cemented in place.
Knowing it may be more than a single appointment, you can look at your commitments in advance. Do raise anything that would make a return visit difficult.
If the tooth becomes painful or a part of it breaks at any stage, please call the clinic rather than sending a form.
The reception desk, and a painting over a consultation room desk.
Some people dread the idea of an impression, while others are simply curious about scanning. Either way, it is reasonable to ask which method will be used and what it involves.
If things placed at the back of your mouth bother you, say so before the record is taken.
Ask to see how the proposed colour relates to neighbouring teeth, ideally before anything is finalized.
Preparation and fitting are different steps, so you may want to check what each one involves.
Once it is fitted
The new restoration has to become part of how you chew and clean. The first while is a good time to pay attention, and to report anything that seems unusual.
If one tooth seems to hit first, let the clinic know, since the bite can be reviewed.
Ceramic does not decay, but the natural tooth next to it can, so the margin still needs your care.
Ask whether protection makes sense if clenching or grinding is part of your picture.
A restoration that shifts, loosens or comes off should prompt a phone call to the clinic.

Helpful details about tooth-colored restorations in Meadow Land.
Ask our teamA white filling is built up on the tooth during treatment. A custom piece is fabricated away from your mouth after the prepared tooth has been recorded, and then it is fitted.
Either could be used to record the tooth, and it is fine to ask which applies to your plan. Let the clinic know if you have found impressions uncomfortable before.
That depends on your tooth and on how much has been prepared, so please ask at the time. If anything changes or becomes painful in the meantime, phone the clinic.
It is checked for fit, contact, shape and bite during the fitting stage. Tell your dentist if something feels off, because small problems are easier to discuss while you are there.
Both secure a restoration to the tooth, and the choice depends on the material and design selected. Your dentist can explain which is planned for yours, and why.
Not as a rule. The right design is the one suited to the particular repair, based on size, position, moisture control and bite, and a smaller repair may not need one.
