Do all my old crowns have to be replaced?+
Not necessarily. Each is evaluated for decay, fit and its role in your bite. Some may be kept and monitored, while others could need attention, and you are welcome to ask why.
I am in my later years. Does a plan like this still make sense?+
Age alone does not settle the question. Your general health, your goals and how much treatment you wish to undertake all matter, and these can be weighed during an assessment.
Why do you keep asking about the pills I take?+
Because medical factors form part of the planning records, and they can affect how treatment is organized. Please share a full, current list, including over-the-counter products.
I do not want years of appointments. What are my options?+
Say so during planning. Alternative pathways can be discussed, along with the consequences of each, so you can choose a level of treatment that is realistic for you.
How is a large restored mouth kept healthy afterward?+
Expect a combination of hygiene appointments, home cleaning tools, bite reviews and monitoring of teeth and restorations. A night guard might also be recommended in some cases.
Living in Seven Oaks, what is my first move toward an assessment?+
A phone call to (204) 338-3003 is one way, and this page’s form is the other. Tell us you want your older dental work reviewed, and we can then settle on a time at McPhillips Street.
