I live elsewhere in Manitoba. How do I arrange a bonding visit?+
Call (204) 338-3003 or send the form on this page, and mention that you’ll be travelling. Treatment takes place at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, and the clinic follows up to arrange the visit.
Can I get my bonding done in one trip?+
Often, one appointment is enough for a modest change, but that isn’t assured. It depends on what the assessment shows and whether anything else, such as decay, needs dealing with first.
Would it help to have my files from home forwarded to Winnipeg?+
That’s a good question to ask when you call. If you have recent X-rays or information at your usual office, find out whether a transfer would help with planning your visit.
What should I do if my bonding chips after I get home?+
Phone the clinic and describe what happened. Chipped resin can often be repaired when the remaining material and tooth are sound, and the reason it chipped should be assessed too.
Can my regular dentist look after my bonded tooth?+
Tell your usual dental office about the bonding so it’s on record, and ask them whether they can help with any repairs or refinishing when you next attend.
Does whitening need to be planned before I travel for bonding?+
It’s worth considering, because resin won’t lighten after it is placed. Anyone wanting a lighter overall shade generally whitens first, then has the composite matched once the shade settles.
