If you are coming into the city for an assessment, you want to leave with real answers. West St. Paul residents can use this page to gather what is useful in advance, and to work out which questions deserve to go first.
Let's find a time
West St. Paul is outside the City of Winnipeg, so seeing us means coming into Winnipeg, to our clinic on McPhillips Street. If you are deciding whether that trip is worthwhile, it helps to know what an assessment can realistically settle: the likely cause, the possible level of treatment and what your own anatomy might allow.
Good preparation means less guesswork when you arrive. A short list of goals, photos that show your concern and any information from earlier dental care all give your dentist more to go on. Your questions about timing can then be put to the clinic before you travel.
Explore gum contouring
A phone call may clear up what your first appointment will and won’t include.
Details of past dental work save you trying to recall them when you are in the chair.
Ask what the findings would mean for further visits, so you know what else to arrange.
Your travel plans will depend in part on which of these fits your anatomy, and only an assessment can establish that.
Gum alone is shaped using a laser or other fine tool. That is an option for limited change if the bone already sits at a suitable distance below the new line.
Bone that sits too close to the desired line may need adjusting. Tissue is accessed surgically, then secured at the planned level for healing.
Your concern may also stem from wear, lip movement or jaw position, which would change the conversation and what you would be planning for.
These stages run in a sensible order, and each offers a natural place to ask the question that matters most to you.
Request your visitStart by stating what you want changed, followed by anything you have to know before you leave, such as how many more trips a plan would need.
Photos are taken, gum levels compared and the enamel boundary located. Tissue thickness is judged, and bone sounding or imaging may be added.
Once options are clear, ask how treatment day, early healing and the review would be scheduled. Note the answers so that you can plan at home.
You can take time to think before arranging treatment, which is done under local anaesthetic to a marked margin, followed by a return visit.
When a visit involves coming in from elsewhere, forgetting something is more annoying. A quick check of your documents and questions the day before should spare you most of that frustration.
Ask the clinic what your plan may cost and how long appointments may run, so that you can arrange your day accordingly.
White chairs by a window, and a monitor beside a treatment chair.
An assessment is unlikely to affect your day much, but a treatment visit is another matter. The area will be numb at first, and later tenderness varies, so ask before treatment day how that may affect your journey home.
Ask whether any arrangements are recommended for getting home once treatment is finished.
Find out what might be useful to have ready at home before you leave for the clinic.
Try not to rush your questions, since a call later can be harder to fit into a busy day.
Should treatment follow
Treatment isn’t the last trip. A follow-up reviews closure and plaque control and takes out any sutures, and restorative decisions may wait until the margin has settled. Ask about all of it while you are planning.
Try to arrange the follow-up early, so it can be fitted around your other commitments.
Your cleaning, rinsing, diet and medication directions go home with you, so ask about anything unclear.
If veneers or crowns are planned too, ask how those visits would be sequenced.

Helpful details about gum contouring in West St. Paul.
Ask our teamIt should give you a much clearer idea. If the bone position is uncertain, bone sounding or imaging may be needed before your dentist can say more.
Allow for an assessment and, if you go ahead, a treatment appointment and a follow-up. Ask whether your plan may call for more visits than that.
That’s worth raising with the clinic beforehand, so you can plan for what your treatment may involve and how you may feel afterward.
The likely cause, the level of treatment, how many further visits may be involved and what to expect in the first few days are all useful starting points.
You can call with questions about what an assessment involves. The specifics of your gumline will need an in-person look, as they rest on measurements.
Use this page’s form or call (204) 338-3003, and mention that you are coming in from outside the city. McPhillips Street, in Winnipeg, is where you would be measured.
