Full-mouth Reconstruction for Downtown Winnipeg Residents

A move, a change of job or a retired dentist can leave you with nobody who knows your teeth. If you live in Downtown Winnipeg and suspect that several things need attention, you can start from there.

Nobody holds the whole picture

When Each Problem Has Been Handled in Isolation

Going without a steady dentist often means seeking help only when a tooth hurts. Each visit deals with what is in front of it, and nobody has reason to step back and look across your bite. Meanwhile, wear, missing teeth and gum concerns may be influencing each other.

A comprehensive assessment is one way of getting that overview. It may show that you need coordinated care, or it may show that a few straightforward treatments will do. People from Downtown Winnipeg are seen for this at our clinic on McPhillips Street, and no record of past treatment is needed to ask about it.

A fresh set of records

Where your history is scattered, current imaging and scans can establish where things stand.

One view of many issues

Concerns that were treated separately can be considered in relation to each other.

A sense of what is urgent

You can find out which problems are pressing and which can reasonably wait for now.

What an overview can sort out

Turning scattered problems into a clear list.

When a mouth has not been looked at as a whole for some time, an assessment has a few jobs to do. It reviews your current condition, and it works out how each problem bears on the others.

What gets looked at

Records are selected according to complexity, so you may not need all of them.

  • Decay, cracks and areas of infection.
  • Roots, gums, bone and existing restorations.
  • How your jaws meet and where force concentrates.
  • Medical factors, symptoms, goals and practical limits.

What you may come away knowing

A large part of the value lies in being able to see the problem at last, and in order.

  • Whether anything needs prompt attention.
  • Which concerns are connected to one another.
  • Whether coordinated care is likely to be recommended.
  • What questions still have to be answered.

A broad assessment does not oblige you to take on broad treatment. Your findings could point to something much simpler, and that would be useful to know too.

Arriving as someone new

What being a new patient could look like.

Nobody expects a newcomer to have tidy paperwork or a clear idea of what they need. Your own experience will vary with your needs, but the broad shape tends to be similar.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Give whatever history you can

    Tell the dentist what you remember, including which teeth were treated and which have been bothering you.

  2. 02

    Have anything acute addressed

    Pain, infection and fracture risk are looked at early and will take priority.

  3. 03

    Complete the needed records

    Imaging, photographs, scans and bite analysis can be used to whatever degree your situation calls for.

  4. 04

    Go over the findings

    You then hear what was found and can discuss what, if anything, ought to follow.

With or without old records

Pull together what you happen to have.

Your past dentists may hold X-rays or notes, and you can ask our staff how to go about requesting them. You need not have them before contacting us, and it is fine if some of the details have been lost.

If a tooth is causing you real trouble today, skip the preparation. Telephone the clinic and describe what is going on.

If you have them to hand

  • Names of any previous dental offices.
  • Insurance details, if you have coverage through a plan.
  • Any pills you take and conditions you are treated for.
  • A rough list of the teeth that worry you.

Starting over somewhere new

It is fine to feel like a stranger at first.

Sitting down with a dentist who knows nothing about you can feel awkward, particularly if you are concerned about what they will find. Your dental history does not need to be neat. A plain account of where you are now gives the conversation enough to begin.

Ask who you will be seeing

Knowing what to expect from the visit may help you feel more settled when you arrive.

Say what you are worried about

Fears about costs or findings are easier to deal with once they are out in the open.

Go at your own speed

If a lot of information comes at once, ask to take it in stages.

Building continuity

Regular contact helps prevent the next pile-up.

Without steady care, problems are apt to go unnoticed until they hurt. After treatment, ongoing reviews mean somebody is looking at how your restorations, gums and bite are getting on over the years.

01

Keep your records current

Updates to your health or medications are worth passing along at each contact.

02

Keep up routine visits

Ask how often you would need reviews and hygiene care once your treatment is done.

03

Hold on to your own notes

A personal copy of what has been done can come in handy should your circumstances change.

If a problem comes up between visits, you now have somewhere to call. Phone the clinic and explain what you have noticed.

Ask our team
Can I ask about a full assessment if I am not an existing patient?

Use the form or phone to explain your situation and ask how to get started. You do not need to know already what treatment you may need.

What if I have no idea what my previous dentist did?

Much can be seen from an examination and current records, including existing restorations. Anything else you can remember, even vaguely, may still help fill in the picture.

I only go to the dentist when something hurts. Does that rule this out?

No. Many complex situations build up that way. Your assessment looks at where things stand now, so past gaps in care do not need to hold you back.

Will a new dentist want to replace all my old work?

Not automatically. Existing restorations are evaluated along with everything else, and you can ask why any particular replacement is suggested and what would happen if you left it.

Do I need dental insurance to ask about this?

No, you can ask either way. If you do have a plan, coverage is assessed service by service, and a predetermination may give an estimate without assuring payment.

How do Downtown Winnipeg residents become patients for this?

Phone (204) 338-3003 or submit this page’s form, then watch for a reply from staff, who will talk with you about a visit to our clinic.
