Nobody wants a questionable tooth to travel with them. If you live in Transcona and have a departure date approaching, tell our Winnipeg clinic early so timing can be part of the discussion.
Let's find a time
A holiday, a work posting or a long visit with relatives has a way of making a slightly suspect molar feel more pressing. The natural instinct is to get it fixed quickly, and it is worth knowing first that a custom restoration has more than one stage.
Because an inlay or onlay is usually made after the tooth is prepared, the order of events matters when you are working toward a date. Raising your plans at the outset gives the dentist a chance to weigh them along with the condition of the tooth. Transcona is an area of Winnipeg, and this care happens at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street.

Giving your departure date when you first get in touch means timing is on the table from the start.
Preparation and bonding may be separate events, with a temporary protecting the tooth between them.
You can find out whether anything else would be reasonable for this tooth given your plans.
Both options replace damaged parts of a selected back tooth with a piece made to fit it. The extent of the damage, not your travel plans, determines which might be suitable.
If the walls and cusps are in good shape and the problem lies in the central chewing area, this more contained restoration may be considered.
When a cusp has been weakened, the piece can be designed to reach over it, which provides coverage for that area while other surfaces stay as they are.
A departure date cannot make a tooth suitable for a certain repair. If a crown or another treatment is what it needs, the conversation about timing will start from there.
The usual order is below. Ask how each stage would line up with your own calendar, because this varies with the tooth, the plan and the schedule.
Request your visitEverything starts with a look at the cracks, walls, decay, bite and root health of the tooth. This is the point to share your dates.
Damaged material is taken away under what is usually local anesthetic, leaving a clean and supportable shape.
A scan or impression, plus a shade selection, gives what is needed to fabricate the piece in the planned material.
Fit and bite are confirmed, then the restoration is bonded and polished. Ask what happens at this stage if your departure is approaching quickly.
It is easier to give you a useful answer with the full picture in front of everyone. A brief note covering your plans is usually all that is needed.
If the tooth flares up in the days before you leave, call the clinic promptly and explain that you are about to go away.
A desk beside a snake plant, and seating under blue art.
Treatment close to a trip can add to your worries, and it helps to be honest about that. A clear explanation of what you might feel, and for how long you should watch for it, is a fair thing to request.
Expect local anesthetic in most cases, so the shaping of the tooth can be done in comfort.
The tooth may react to temperature for a little while. That should get better, so mention it if yours does not.
These materials are not as durable as the final piece, so ask how to treat one and what to do if it fails.
While you are gone, and after
A newly bonded restoration still needs ordinary attention. Ask what you would do if something changed during your time away, and when you should have the tooth reviewed once you are home.
Keep (204) 338-3003 with your travel documents in case you have a question about the tooth.
Holidays are no reason to skip it. Margins need the same careful cleaning wherever you happen to be.
Once you get home, get in touch about any examination the dentist has advised.
A high bite, a rough edge, movement or sensitivity that is not easing are all worth reporting, even if you notice them far from home.

Ask our teamSooner is more useful, since a custom restoration involves several stages and available times vary. Call and give your dates, and the office can tell you what is possible.
Temporaries are less durable than final restorations, which is why this deserves a direct conversation. Ask the dentist before you plan treatment around that scenario.
It might, or it might not, and the examination is what can tell you. Ask what could happen if you delay, and what you should watch for in the meantime.
Ask about it directly. Whether a direct filling is reasonable, even for now, depends on the size of the damage and how much sound tooth is left.
Phone the clinic to describe what has happened and find out what to do next. It is sensible to discuss this possibility before you leave as well.
With a date approaching, phoning (204) 338-3003 is often easiest, though you may use the form too. Treatment is at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6, once a time is confirmed.
