When you are coming in from outside the city, you will naturally want to get as much done as you reasonably can. Here is how to ask about combining things, and why some stages have to stay apart.
Let's find a time
As a Selkirk resident, you live outside the City of Winnipeg, and treatment with us means a trip in to McPhillips Street. It makes sense to ask whether more than one need could be looked after during a single visit.
Whether that is possible depends on your plan and the clinic’s schedule, so it is a question, not a promise. Certain bridge stages simply take time, because custom work has to be made between the moment your details are recorded and the moment of fitting.

Raise it as soon as you know you have more than one dental need.
Fabrication happens between visits, so some gaps in the schedule are built in.
A forgotten document can mean one more visit than you had planned.
A few things have a natural relationship, whereas others are separated by necessity. Knowing the difference will help you ask useful scheduling questions.
These pairings are not assured, but they are reasonable to raise when you speak with the clinic about your dates.
These depend on something happening in the interval, whether that is fabrication, healing or further planning.
Whichever applies to you, ask which appointment could be longest. That is the one you may want to give the most room in your day.
Your dentist decides how these stages are divided, and it may differ from what someone else had done. Once you know your plan, ask how many appointments it amounts to.
Request your visitThis appointment covers support, gums, alignment, root health and your bite, along with existing restorations near the space.
Where the plan uses natural teeth, they are prepared as required. Where it uses implants, those must be healed and assessed.
Bite and shade records go along with a scan or impression, and you may have a temporary bridge over the prepared area until your next visit.
Your dentist reviews and adjusts the fit, contacts, margins, appearance and cleaning access, then attaches the bridge securely.
Your first phone conversation can cover several things at once. Having your list of needs at hand can help you arrange your visit, and it could reduce repeat trips later on.
Check when you call whether there is anything you should bring, such as previous X-rays or insurance details, so it does not have to wait for another visit.

Getting more done in one visit sounds efficient, but it may not suit everyone. If lengthy appointments make you tired or anxious, let us know, and think about whether splitting things up might feel better.
A shorter visit can sometimes be the better choice, even if it means another trip.
If sitting for a long time is hard for you, raise it before your appointment.
Ask how you may feel after treatment, so that you can decide what else to do that day.
Later trips with a purpose
Your bridge will need checking from time to time, and so will the rest of your mouth. Ask whether those visits can be lined up, so that long-term care takes fewer separate trips.
While you are at the clinic, ask to try the tools you will use at home, such as a threader, super floss, interdental brush or water flosser.
Natural anchors can decay at the margins, and your gums need monitoring as well, so set a follow-up date before you head out.
If the bridge moves, chips, feels rough or changes your bite, phone (204) 338-3003 so that you can be told what to do.
You should also report food that packs in repeatedly and any bleeding, swelling or persistent bad taste.

Ask our teamThat is a good question to ask when you call. It comes down to what you need and what can be scheduled, and the clinic can say what might be workable.
Do not plan on it, as your dentist needs to assess you and go over your options first. Preparing anchor teeth is not a step to hurry.
A bridge is custom-made from your records, then tried in and adjusted. Time for that fabrication is why fitting usually comes at a later appointment.
Ask about this as you plan your recalls. A regular examination is a natural opportunity for your dentist to look at the bridge and its supports.
Your dentist can explain what was found and whether it affects your plan. You can then ask if and when it should be dealt with, and how that affects your visits.
Call (204) 338-3003 or use the form, and list all of the things you need looked at. Treatment takes place in Winnipeg at McPhillips Street, and the clinic will let you know what it can arrange.
Regular check-ups, crowns and fillings can all connect with a bridge plan, so mention them if you think they apply to you when you call.
