I live outside Winnipeg. Can I still come to you for a filling?+
Yes, patients from elsewhere in Manitoba may request a visit. All treatment happens at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg. Mention that you are travelling when you call (204) 338-3003 or use the form, so timing can be discussed when the clinic replies.
Can my filling be done in one trip?+
That depends on what the examination finds, the number of teeth involved and how easily each area can be reached. Ask when you contact us, keeping in mind that a firmer answer may only be possible after we have examined the tooth.
Can you get my X-rays from my dentist at home?+
Ask us about this when you book. Having your previous clinic’s details ready makes it simpler to look into whether existing records can be transferred before your appointment.
What if something feels wrong after I’ve gone home?+
Pick up the phone and tell us what you’re noticing. Pain that is significant, a bite that seems high, or symptoms lasting longer than we discussed are all reasons to phone. We can then talk about the next step.
Do fillings have a set lifespan I should plan around?+
They don’t. Grinding, diet, oral hygiene, bite forces, new decay and the size and position of the repair all play a part. Regular examinations, wherever you have them, allow the tooth to be monitored.
Will my benefits work if I’m coming in from another community?+
Coverage hinges on your plan rather than our assumptions. Many plans and the Canadian Dental Care Plan include eligible restorative services, with varying limits and patient portions. Bring your details, and our team can submit available estimates.
