When care means coming into the city, it pays to know what to expect first. West St. Paul residents can use this page to prepare for a call to our McPhillips Street clinic about a crown.
Let's find a time
West St. Paul is outside the City of Winnipeg, so seeing a dentist here involves setting aside time to come into town. A crown is rarely a one-visit job, which makes it worth having a realistic picture of the appointments before arranging work, childcare or anything else around them.
Crown care takes place at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg. A good deal of your planning can happen in one conversation with the clinic: what the first visit is likely to cover, how much time it may take, and what to bring along. Precise answers about treatment will still depend on the assessment, because the plan follows from what the dentist finds.
Explore dental crowns
Ask how many appointments are likely, knowing that custom crowns usually involve a later placement.
Find out whether recent X-rays or notes from another office would be useful to have ahead of time.
Before starting treatment, ask how to handle a problem that comes up between your appointments.
Knowing the purpose of each appointment makes the calendar easier to manage. It also shows why some steps cannot be condensed, even if that would be handier for you.
Your first appointment is about understanding the tooth, since a crown cannot be confirmed without an examination.
If you go ahead, the clinical work usually splits around the time needed for production of the custom crown.
Only the clinic can say how your own appointments might be arranged. Mention that you will be coming in from outside the city, and ask what grouping of visits could make sense.
It can be easier to plan with the whole series in front of you. This lays out what a typical custom crown asks of you, from the phone call onward.
Request your visitExplain the problem with the tooth, ask what a first visit includes, and find out how much time to set aside. Mention if something seems urgent.
A dentist examines the tooth, root, gums and bite, with X-rays as appropriate, and explains whether a crown is suitable or what else may be considered.
The tooth is numbed and shaped, then recorded with a scan or impression, bite record and shade. A temporary may then go on until your crown is ready.
The custom crown is tried on and checked for fit, contacts, bite and appearance. It is adjusted as needed and then permanently cemented.
A short list keeps the call efficient and may spare you an extra trip. Some answers will be estimates at this stage, and that is normal when nobody has seen the tooth yet.
Have your calendar in front of you, along with your insurance or CDCP details. Coverage is determined by your plan, and estimates are based on what is proposed.
Seating by a window in the waiting area, and a light arm over a treatment chair.
Coming in can add its own pressure to an appointment, particularly if you have booked things around it. Allow some room in your schedule, and let the clinic know if you are feeling anxious about any part of your visit.
Local anesthetic is normally used at preparation, so factor that in when deciding what follows your visit.
Pressure or vibration may be noticeable, and it can help to discuss this ahead of time.
Before leaving, make sure you understand your temporary’s care, in case questions come up at home.
Back at home
A question or a problem may come up well after you are home. Knowing in advance how it would be handled makes that much less stressful, so ask this before treatment begins.
Phone the clinic if the temporary comes loose or off, and describe what has happened. They can advise you on the next step.
Do not assume the sensation will just fade. A contact that is too heavy needs a check, which may mean planning another appointment.
Clean carefully along the margin and between teeth, as natural tooth there can decay. Ask how often you should have it examined.
If something starts to get worse, call the clinic instead of waiting for your next planned trip.

Helpful details about dental crowns in West St. Paul.
Ask our teamOften at least an assessment, a preparation visit and a placement visit, though it varies. The assessment gives the clinic the details to tell you more about your case.
Ask when you call, as this depends on your tooth and on the schedule. Mention that you are coming in from outside the city so this can be discussed.
Length varies with the tooth and with what is planned. The clinic can give you a better sense of it during your call, which will help you plan your day.
Phone in with a description of the sensation. A bite that feels too high should be looked at, so ask them how soon it can be reviewed.
Yes. Calling (204) 338-3003 is a good way to ask practical questions first. The online form is also available if you prefer sending a request that way.
Ask the clinic what would help. Recent X-rays or details of prior work on the tooth may be useful, and they can tell you if a transfer is worth arranging.
