Someone else may have always handled your appointments and paperwork. If you live in Pembina and now do it yourself, here’s how a filling at our McPhillips Street clinic works.
Let's find a time
It’s common to reach adulthood without having booked a dental visit, read a benefits booklet or asked what a filling involves. Then a tooth starts acting up, and suddenly it’s your job to work out what to do and who to call.
You don’t need to know the vocabulary to get started. Tell Winnipeg North Dental what you’ve noticed, and ask about whatever’s unclear. We can explain what we find and why something may be recommended, so you’re making an informed decision on your own behalf.
Explore dental fillings
Say what you’ve noticed in ordinary words, and we’ll take it from there.
Plans differ, and an estimate can show what yours may include.
We explain the findings and options before you agree to anything.
When decay, wear or a minor crack has damaged part of a tooth, a filling rebuilds that section. Below are the signs that call for a visit, and the questions worth putting to us.
Any of these can have more than one explanation, which is why an examination comes before a recommendation.
Being new to this doesn’t mean you should just nod along. These are all reasonable.
Early decay may not hurt at all, so routine examinations are worth building into your own calendar, even when your teeth feel fine.
First, we’ll confirm which tooth is being treated and go through the plan. Exactly how things go varies by tooth and material, but direct fillings mostly move along these lines.
Request your visitIf you need it, local anesthetic numbs the area. We then keep the tooth clean and free of moisture so the material sets where it should.
Anything decayed or weak gets removed, and you’ll likely hear and feel some buzzing while the sound parts of the tooth are protected.
A tooth-coloured material goes on in thin stages and is hardened, giving back a shape your toothbrush and floss can reach.
You close your teeth together, tell us how it feels, and we adjust whatever seems high before polishing the surface.
Everything here is easier to find ahead of time than in the chair. If you’re missing something, don’t let that stop you from getting in touch.
You might not know your dental history at all, and that’s no barrier to asking for a visit. Just tell us what you do know.

You may have sat through dental visits before without ever really knowing what was going on. Say that it’s new to you, and we can walk you through it one stage at a time.
You’d generally feel pressure and vibration, not sharp pain, in a frozen tooth.
We can pause and reassess as soon as you say something’s uncomfortable.
We’ll make time for any question, however obvious it might seem to you.
Looking after it yourself
You’ll be given instructions for the treatment you had, and those are the ones to follow. In the meantime, here’s roughly how the first stretch tends to go.
A frozen mouth makes it far too easy to chomp your tongue, lip or cheek. Eat once it’s back to normal, and keep hot drinks cautious.
Short bursts of sensitivity to pressure or temperature can happen, and they should lessen. If they’re growing instead, that’s worth reporting.
Call if your bite’s off, the tooth hits first, or chewing keeps hurting. That’s what the clinic’s number is there for, and you aren’t bothering anyone.
Keep brushing and cleaning between your teeth, and put recommended exams in your calendar so the repair can be monitored as the years go by.

Ask our teamEither send the request form with a line about your concern, or phone the clinic. You don’t need to know the name of the treatment, and it’s okay to say this is your first time.
Coverage, materials, tooth restrictions and your share of the cost vary between plans. Our team can submit available estimates and help you make sense of the response.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan includes eligible restorative services, though details vary. Eligibility is determined by the program, so check that first, then ask us what your coverage may mean.
It’s useful if you happen to have it, but tell us if you don’t. A current examination and suitable diagnostic records can show where your teeth stand now.
Ask what was found and why treatment is being suggested, including what other options deserve thought. You can take in that explanation before making a decision.
Length depends on the size and position of the repair, how many teeth are involved and the material. Ask for an estimate after the tooth has been examined, then plan around it.
