Unsure what material is in your tooth, or how to get the records? Transcona residents with dental work from abroad can have it assessed on McPhillips Street.
Let's find a time
Plenty of people carry dental work from wherever they used to live, and the paperwork doesn’t always travel with them. You might not know what a filling is made of or when it was done. That needn’t stop you from getting it looked at here.
An examination at Winnipeg North Dental, with suitable records, looks at what’s in your mouth now. If you have a filling that’s sound, it may simply be monitored. If there’s decay, a fracture or a failing edge, we’d explain what we see and what could be done.

A tooth can be examined even if the history behind it is unknown.
Say so whenever a term or explanation isn’t clear to you.
Recommendations rest on what’s found, not on where the work was done.
No document can substitute for looking at the tooth itself. Records can add helpful background, but an examination and any appropriate X-rays are what the advice rests on.
Whatever its origin, a restoration is judged by a familiar set of concerns.
These can help, if they’re easy to get. Don’t delay a visit just to track them down.
It may not be possible to say for certain what an older filling is made of. Ask what can be determined from the examination, and whether that affects any decision.
Procedures can vary between places, so it’s fair to want this spelled out. After confirming the tooth and plan, most direct fillings pass through four phases.
Request your visitLocal anesthetic is given in appropriate cases, then we make sure the tooth stays clean and dry for the rest of the work.
Any earlier filling that’s being replaced comes out, along with decay or weak enamel. Healthy tooth stays whenever possible.
This tooth-coloured material is laid down in controlled increments, each hardened in turn, until the tooth has its proper contours back.
Next comes shaping, polishing and a test of how your teeth meet. An uneven or high spot can be corrected before you head out.
If dental care in Canada is new to you, you needn’t arrive knowing how it all works. Bring what you have and ask about whatever isn’t familiar.
Have benefits through work or the Canadian Dental Care Plan? Bring the details and ask about an estimate. Coverage, tooth restrictions and portions vary.
Our reception desk and a treatment room.
Dental offices don’t look or run alike everywhere, and that can be unsettling. Mention it if routines here seem unfamiliar. We’re happy to say what’s coming next before anything happens.
Unfamiliar dental words can be explained again in simpler terms.
If freezing was different in your past experience, tell us what you remember.
Letting us know about discomfort gives us the chance to pause and reassess.
After your treatment
Aftercare advice might differ from what you’ve been told in the past. Instructions are tailored to you, and the broad picture looks like this.
Chewing has to wait until you can feel your mouth properly, or you risk biting your cheek, lip or tongue. Hot drinks need caution too.
Temperature or pressure might bother the tooth for a short while. This should gradually settle instead of intensifying.
Brushing, cleaning between teeth and recommended examinations all help. Those exams also build a record of your dental work here, tooth by tooth.
Phone the clinic if your bite seems high after treatment, or the tooth stays uncomfortable for chewing.

Helpful details about dental fillings in Transcona.
Ask our teamThey can be useful if you have them, but you can request a visit without them. The tooth can still be examined, and appropriate new records can be taken if they’re needed.
Its appearance can offer clues, particularly for metal or tooth-coloured materials, though not every detail is always clear. You’re welcome to ask what can be determined and whether it matters here.
Not simply for that reason. Replacement depends on clinical findings such as a fracture, an open margin or decay. A filling that’s doing its job may just be monitored.
Not necessarily, so it’s a fair thing to raise. We use tooth-coloured materials when appropriate for the tooth and the repair, and if you know of an earlier reaction, tell us before treatment.
Yes, you can bring your plan details and ask. Many plans and the Canadian Dental Care Plan include eligible restorative services, but what’s covered differs, and an estimate can help explain it.
