General Dentistry for St. Boniface Residents

Settling in a new country brings a long list, and finding dental care may be somewhere on it. If you have made your home in St. Boniface, here is how a first visit works at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.

Let's find a time

Request an appointment

We’ll call to confirm your appointment. For urgent care, please call us directly.

Starting over, not from zero

Whatever was done before still counts as your history.

Fillings, crowns or root canals placed in another country can all be looked at during an ordinary examination, even when no paperwork came with you. A new-patient visit generally sets aside time for your dental and medical background, then assesses your teeth, gums, bite and existing work. Materials or techniques may be unfamiliar to you here, so asking what something is called, and why it was suggested, is entirely fair.

St. Boniface is in Winnipeg, and a first visit for anyone living there happens at our McPhillips Street clinic. The appointment can cover prevention, repairs or a specific worry, and children, adults and seniors are all welcome. If images were taken recently abroad, keep a copy and find out from the team whether they would be useful; fresh X-rays depend on what the dentist needs to make a diagnosis.

Medications, by name

Packaging or a photo of each label is handy when a brand you take goes by another name here.

Old work, new eyes

Restorations from elsewhere are part of what gets examined, and you can ask how each one is doing.

Plans explained

Benefit plans and government programs differ in what they include, so bring any letter or card you have received.

What falls under this heading

Everyday dentistry, sorted by what you might need

Check-ups & Cleanings cover routine prevention, and Dental Fillings repair decay or small fractures. Emergency Dentistry, Root Canal Therapy and Tooth Extractions address problems that have gone further, while Pediatric Dentistry is there for children.

Getting ready

Three things to sort out ahead of your first appointment.

None of them has to be perfect, and a gap in your records will not hold you back.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    List what you remember

    Jot down any treatment you recall, roughly when it happened and which side of the mouth. A rough memory is still helpful.

  2. 02

    Note what your teeth are doing

    Food that catches, sensitivity to cold, bleeding when you brush: write down anything you meant to have looked at before the move.

  3. 03

    Ask what you are unsure of

    How often visits are suggested, who does the cleaning and what your plan may pay can vary from what you knew. Raise whatever seems unclear.

Your questions, answered.

Helpful details about general dentistry in St. Boniface.

Ask our team
I have no records from back home. Will that be a problem?

A missing file does not stop an assessment, because the dentist can examine what is in your mouth today. Share what you recall, and diagnostic images can be recommended if they are needed.

My previous dentist suggested work I never had done. Should I mention it?

Yes, please bring it up, along with anything you were told about the tooth. Conditions may have changed since then, so the recommendation will rest on what is found at this examination.

Who does what at a dental visit in Canada?

Here, the dentist carries out the examination and goes over the findings with you. A dental hygienist usually does the cleaning, which involves scaling, often polishing, and advice for home.

How often will I be asked to return?

Plenty of patients attend roughly twice a year, though no interval suits everybody. Your recall schedule will reflect your own oral health, and the clinic can explain how any plan limits relate to it.

Am I able to use the Canadian Dental Care Plan for this?

Eligibility and what is included are set by the program, and patient portions vary. Have your details ready, and the team can help you make sense of the response to any estimate they submit.

How does someone in St. Boniface ask for a first appointment?

Fill in the form on this page or telephone (204) 338-3003. A form submission is a request and holds no particular time until you hear back from the clinic.
