Your tooth feels fine, yet someone has mentioned a cavity. Patients from across Winnipeg come to our McPhillips Street clinic to see the finding, understand it, and decide what to do.
Let's find a time
It seems odd to repair something that doesn’t hurt. Yet early decay often gives no warning, especially between teeth or under older dental work, and an X-ray or examination can pick up what you cannot sense yourself.
Dealing with the area while it is still manageable may keep more of your natural tooth and lower the chance of a more complicated repair later. At Winnipeg North Dental, we show you what we see and why we suggest treatment, so the decision rests on something you understand.
Explore dental fillings
Ask us to point out the area of concern and explain how it was identified.
Earlier repair may leave more natural structure in place than waiting for symptoms.
Hear which options deserve consideration for this particular tooth before you choose.
Finding the problem and treating it are separate jobs. Knowing what each involves makes a recommendation much easier to weigh.
Decay can advance silently, so diagnosis relies on more than whether a tooth aches.
Treatment clears out the decay and replaces the lost portion with tooth-coloured material where that suits the tooth.
Whether a filling is right for you depends on the assessment. A cavity that has grown large may call for a different restoration.
Stages can differ with the tooth and the material chosen, though most direct fillings run along these lines.
Request your visitBefore anything starts, we identify the tooth together and go over the plan, so you can raise any doubts about the finding.
Local anesthetic is offered when appropriate. Keeping the tooth clean and dry lets the material be placed predictably.
Decay comes out, the space is cleaned, and layers of material restore a shape you can keep clean with a brush and floss.
We adjust anything that feels high or uneven, then polish the surface and explain what to expect once sensation returns.
If you were told about a cavity at another visit, say so when you request your appointment. Knowing the background helps us focus on the tooth you are wondering about.
Appointment length varies with the number of teeth and the size of each repair, so we can estimate it more usefully once the tooth has been examined.

Going in without pain can make numbing feel like a big step. Let us know how you feel about it, and we can talk over what happens before beginning.
Once the area is numb, what most people notice is vibration or pushing rather than sharp pain.
Say something if you become uncomfortable, and we can pause to reassess how you are doing.
Would you like to hear what comes next as we go? Mention it at the start of treatment.
When the numbness fades
Personal instructions come with your treatment, and these general points show what the hours and months afterward usually involve.
A numb mouth makes it easy to bite your cheek, lip or tongue by accident, so wait for normal feeling and take care with hot drinks.
If this tooth touches before the others or feels uncomfortable when you chew, phone us so it can be looked at.
Daily brushing, cleaning between teeth and your recommended examinations let the repair and the tooth around it be monitored.
Short-lived sensitivity to temperature or pressure can happen and should ease; call if it grows worse instead.

Helpful details about dental fillings in Winnipeg.
Ask our teamLack of pain says little about how far decay has gone, since it often develops without symptoms. Waiting may allow the damage to become more complex, although the right timing depends on what the examination shows. Ask us to explain what we found so you can weigh your options.
We combine a look at the tooth with suitable diagnostic records, which can include X-rays. Together these can reveal changes between teeth or beneath an existing restoration that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Where tooth-coloured material is appropriate, a shade is chosen for your tooth and the resin is layered so it blends with the enamel around it. The tooth’s position and the size of the repair influence which material makes sense.
Not always. Many small and moderate repairs suit a filling, but a tooth with extensive damage may be better supported by an inlay, onlay or crown. The amount of healthy structure left guides that recommendation.
