Photographs, scans, bite analysis: what is all of it for? If you live in Burrows Central, this page explains the record-gathering that comes before any large dental plan.
Let's find a time
It can seem strange to spend an appointment being photographed and scanned when you came in about your teeth. Yet reconstruction decisions affect how many teeth, your gums and your jaws all work together, and no one image can show all of that.
So the record-gathering is scaled to the case, with simpler situations needing less. Burrows Central is in Winnipeg, and residents have this assessment and any resulting treatment at our McPhillips Street clinic. The findings then shape whether a coordinated plan is needed at all.
Explore full-mouth reconstruction
Nobody follows a fixed checklist, because the right records depend on how complex your situation looks.
Images and models can also help the dentist show you what is being discussed, not merely describe it.
Good information helps explain why certain work has to wait until other problems are under control.
Some records capture things you can see, and others reveal what is hidden. Knowing what each is looking for makes the appointment feel far less mysterious.
Imaging and direct examination help reveal the condition of teeth and what holds them in place, including problems you may not have felt.
A mouth is also a moving system, so the planning considers what happens when your teeth actually come together under force.
You may not need all of these. If a record is suggested and you are curious about its purpose, ask what question it is meant to answer.
Gathering records is only useful if it leads somewhere you can follow. Here is the general journey from first conversation to a proposed path.
Request your visitYour symptoms, medical factors, past dental experiences and goals give the records their context.
Depending on your case, that may mean imaging, scans, photographs, bite analysis and a look at your gums.
The information is reviewed as a whole, since a decision about one tooth can affect choices elsewhere.
You hear what was found and what is urgent, along with possible timelines and the options that could fit.
No one else can report how your teeth feel or what your earlier treatment was like. Any details you can collect in advance simply give the assessment a fuller picture.
Recent X-rays taken elsewhere might be useful. Ask about transferring them, and do not worry if you are unable to track them down.
A consultation desk by a shaded window, and a front desk with a low bench.
Records appointments involve a few unfamiliar steps, and it is reasonable to want them explained first. If holding your mouth open or having a tender area touched worries you, mention it.
A short explanation before an image or scan can take away most of the uncertainty about it.
If bite records or anything placed in your mouth has been hard before, tell us ahead of time.
You may find it helpful to ask what the dentist is seeing and have it pointed out to you.
Records have a long life
Baseline information can be valuable well after treatment ends. Later reviews have something to compare against when teeth, gums and restorations are monitored over time.
Ask how changes in wear, gum health or fit are tracked once your work has been finished.
Teeth, implants and restorations all continue to be checked as part of ongoing maintenance.
Your maintenance may include hygiene visits, cleaning tools for home and perhaps a night guard.
New symptoms between reviews are worth a phone call, as they may change what needs a closer look.

Helpful details about full-mouth reconstruction in Burrows Central.
Ask our teamYou may not need many. The selection follows the complexity of your case, so a more limited situation generally calls for less. If you are unsure why something is recommended, please ask.
No single record does. Each answers a different question, and what you report about your symptoms and goals is part of the picture too.
It considers how your jaws meet, where forces land and how any wear may have come about. That information can influence which restorations are suitable and in what order.
Perhaps not. Findings may need studying first, and later phases can change once teeth, gums and bite respond to earlier care. Ask when you can expect to go over the results.
Having them taken is a way of learning about your situation so options can be explained. Ask about the cost of the assessment itself and take the time you need with what follows.
Yes. Call (204) 338-3003 to ask, or use the form on this page. Appointments are held at our McPhillips Street clinic, and staff will follow up about scheduling.
Once records have been studied, conversations often turn to treatments like these. Whether any of them apply will depend on your results.
