I live in St. Andrews. Do I call or use the form to ask about a tooth?+
Either works for a non-urgent concern. Calling (204) 338-3003 lets you describe the tooth in conversation, while the form sends a request for the clinic to answer. Your care would be at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6.
What if I can’t tell whether the tooth is chipped or just worn?+
That’s fine, because telling those apart is part of the assessment. Just say what you’ve noticed and roughly when it began, without trying to name the cause.
Can bonding be confirmed for me over the phone?+
Not properly. Suitability rests on your enamel, your bite and the size of the change, none of which can be judged from a conversation alone.
Will a description be enough to know how many visits I need?+
It can give a rough idea, as a modest resin addition is frequently completed in one appointment. Anything extra, like decay or a wider cosmetic goal, may alter that plan.
Should I mention an old filling on the same tooth?+
Yes, share what you know, even if details are hazy. Existing dental work is something the dentist would want to consider when planning any resin on that tooth.
