Will I be judged for not going to the dentist in so long?+
That isn’t what this visit is for. We’re interested in your oral health now and what you’d like to do about it, and you can share as much of the backstory as you wish.
I’m embarrassed about the state of my teeth. Should I still come?+
Yes, please do. Tell us about that worry when you book or when you arrive, so we can understand how to make the conversation more comfortable.
Do I need to have my remaining teeth removed for dentures?+
Not automatically. A partial uses healthy remaining teeth for support, and what’s recommended depends on what the examination shows about your mouth.
Can you use a denture I had made years ago?+
Bring it with you so it can be assessed. Jaw and gum tissue change over time, so it may need an adjustment, a reline or a replacement.
What if I decide not to go ahead after the exam?+
You’re free to take time with your decision. Use the exam to understand your options, and ask any questions you need about what waiting might mean.
Can I start with the form if I live in Tyndall Park?+
Certainly. Fill it in with a short note on what you’d like to discuss. Your appointment would be at our McPhillips Street clinic, and you can also call (204) 338-3003.
