General Dentistry for Rivercrest Residents

After a move to Rivercrest, finding dental care can slip down the list. When you are ready, these questions can help you size up a new clinic, starting with ours on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.

Choosing without a history

How to judge a clinic you have never set foot in.

Boxes are unpacked, and now the routine appointments you used to take for granted need a new home. A good way to start is a phone call. Ask what a new-patient visit generally includes, how the length of that appointment gets decided and how your earlier dental records could be used. You will learn something from the answers and from how clearly they are explained.

Rivercrest is outside the City of Winnipeg, so include some practical questions for coming in: how much time to allow, and whether follow-up usually means another trip. At Winnipeg North Dental, children, adults and seniors are welcome, and a first visit generally reviews your history and assesses your oral health. From there, the right type and length of hygiene appointment can be planned.

Questions are fair game

A clinic you might trust for years should be able to explain how a first visit works.

Your past dental work

Knowing where your last dentist practised makes it simpler to ask about getting records sent.

All ages considered

Moving as a household? Children, adults and seniors can all be seen for general care.

What you can ask for

Settling in with a new clinic

Three steps that do not need a free weekend.

None of this has to happen on the first day at your new address.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Track down your records

    Note your former clinic’s name and any recent X-rays taken there. Then ask whether suitable images could be transferred before you are seen.

  2. 02

    Update your own file

    Your move is a good moment to gather your medication list, allergies, health history and any insurance or CDCP details in one spot.

  3. 03

    Get your bearings at the first visit

    Ask what was found, what your recall interval should be and what you ought to do if a problem arises between appointments.

Helpful details about general dentistry in Rivercrest.

Ask our team
What should I ask on my first call to a new clinic?

Ask what a first appointment covers, how much time to set aside, what to bring and how billing questions are handled. If you have a particular concern, describe that as well.

Do I need to have my old records in hand first?

No. They can be useful, but it is fine to begin without them. Giving the name of your previous office allows you to ask about having suitable X-rays sent.

Will a new dentist tell me something different from my old one?

It is possible, because recommendations are based on what is found on the day. If something sounds new to you, ask what was seen and why it matters.

I have not settled on a recall schedule since moving. What should I do?

Do not worry about matching your old timing exactly. Many people attend around every six months, though your dentist and hygienist may suggest another interval after assessing you.

Can I have my children seen as well?

Children are seen for preventive and general care here. When you make contact, give their ages and let the clinic know the reason for each visit you are hoping to arrange.

How can someone new to Rivercrest ask for a first visit?

Fill out the request form with the days you prefer, or call (204) 338-3003. The form does not reserve anything by itself, so wait to hear back from the clinic.
