I live outside Winnipeg. Can I still have a crown done at your clinic?+
Living elsewhere in Manitoba does not stop you from sending a request. Crowns are done only at our McPhillips Street location, so mention your travel needs in that first message or call.
Could both crown stages be finished on one trip?+
Most custom crowns involve a later placement visit, since the restoration has to be produced after the tooth is prepared. Ask the clinic what timing applies to your material and plan.
Can X-rays from my current dentist be used?+
Ask us about having existing records sent over. The dentist decides which images are needed, and new X-rays may still be appropriate for confirming your crown plan.
What if the temporary crown causes a problem once I am home?+
A phone call to the clinic is your first move, so the problem can be explained and next steps worked out. Until then, keep away from sticky foods and carry on with the cleaning instructions you were given.
Who should I contact if my bite feels wrong after I get back?+
Phone Winnipeg North Dental at (204) 338-3003. Heavy contact on a new crown needs an in-person check and adjustment, so waiting for it to feel normal is not advised.
Is one visit enough to find out whether I need a crown?+
An examination with appropriate X-rays is how suitability is established, and the findings determine whether preparation can go ahead. Ask when requesting your visit what to expect on that first day.
