How long should I plan to be at my first visit?+
That depends on what the visit needs to include, and on your dental history. Ask when you book, particularly if you have to be back home at a particular time.
Should I send X-rays before my trip?+
If you have recent images at another dental office, ask the clinic how a transfer would work and whether they could be reviewed ahead of your assessment. New ones may still be recommended.
Can I start treatment during my first trip?+
Veneer care moves through planning, preview, preparation and bonding, and suitability has to be assessed first. Ask what, realistically, might be possible during any one visit in your own case.
Could more than one stage be combined?+
It is fine to ask, and the answer will depend on what your treatment requires. The clinic can tell you whether your plan leaves any room for arranging appointments around your trips.
What if there is a problem with my teeth I did not expect?+
Findings such as decay or gum inflammation may need attention before veneers. Your dentist can explain what comes first, and you can discuss how further appointments might be arranged.
Do I need to tell my current dental office?+
That is up to you, though sharing information can help everyone involved in your care. You may also want to ask how any follow-up would be handled between offices.
Can West St. Paul residents ask about veneers by phone first?+
Yes. Call Winnipeg North Dental at (204) 338-3003 with general questions before you make the trip into Winnipeg, keeping in mind that suitability can only be confirmed by an examination.
