Is your clinic really in the north part of Winnipeg?+
Yes. We are on McPhillips Street, at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6. To ask for a visit, use this page’s form or ring (204) 338-3003, and we will reply to finalize it.
What is actually made for me?+
A small custom piece shaped to replace the damaged section of your tooth. It is built from a scan or impression, then bonded into the prepared space.
Do all patients wear a temporary?+
Not necessarily. One may be used to protect the tooth if fabrication takes place between appointments, and it needs some care because it is less durable than the finished restoration.
How is an onlay different from a full crown?+
Coverage is the key difference. An onlay protects chosen cusps only, whereas a crown generally surrounds the visible tooth around its full circumference.
Which factors decide whether this will work on my tooth?+
Your dentist considers cracks, decay, how many walls remain, root health and your bite. A repair also needs margins that can be prepared properly and a design able to handle chewing forces.
