Can my check-up and filling happen on the same trip?+
Ask when you make your request. Whether that’s possible depends on what the tooth needs and how the appointment can be organized, so the clinic will talk it through with you.
Could several fillings be done during one appointment?+
Sometimes that’s worth considering, and sometimes it isn’t. The number of teeth, their position and the size of each repair all matter, so your dentist would advise you after the assessment.
Do I need to get records from my last dentist?+
Tell us where you were seen before. If recent X-rays or records may be relevant, ask our team about having them transferred before you make the trip.
What if my bite feels off once I’m home?+
Being back home doesn’t change the advice, which is to phone us with what you’ve noticed. A filling that seems high is something we want to hear about, and that call is where the next step gets worked out.
Should I delay a filling until I’m next in Winnipeg?+
It may seem convenient, but treating an area while it’s still manageable may preserve more of the tooth. If you’re unsure about the timing, phone to discuss it.
