I live outside Winnipeg. Where would my appointment take place?+
Every appointment happens at our clinic at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6. Please call (204) 338-3003 or complete the request form, and mention that you are travelling so timing can be part of the discussion.
Can the exam and cleaning both be finished in one trip?+
For some patients they can, but nobody can promise that in advance. Your oral health, how much buildup is present, and whether X-rays are needed all affect the time required, and some patients are advised to return for further hygiene care.
Could X-rays from my clinic at home be used?+
They might be, if they are recent and suitable. Ask us about a transfer before your visit, since X-rays are recommended according to your age, symptoms, history, cavity risk, and what is needed for a diagnosis.
How far apart should my trips for cleanings be?+
That recommendation is based on your clinical needs. Numerous patients return around every six months, though conditions such as active gum disease, dry mouth, or heavy tartar can call for shorter gaps.
What if the exam finds something that needs treatment?+
You will hear what was found and what your options are. Treatment suitability and timing come from that assessment, so ask how many appointments are likely and what could be planned around your travel.
Can I get an idea of cost before I commit to the drive?+
Yes, please ask for an estimate over the phone. The figure hinges on the exam, the hygiene time, and any added services, and what you pay after benefits or CDCP depends on your individual plan.
