Some people relax once they can picture the whole appointment. This walkthrough follows laser treatment from the first assessment to the instructions you take home, so very little comes as a surprise.
Let's find a time
If you are the sort of person who reads the whole manual before starting, this page is meant for you. Burrows Central residents considering a soft-tissue procedure will find the order of events here, along with the reason behind each stage.
Exact details change from one procedure to another, and some patients may not be suited to a laser at all. The framework stays recognizable, though. It runs from diagnosis through consent to controlled treatment and aftercare, and it takes place at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.

Diagnosis, comparison of options and consent all come before any instrument is picked up.
Asking why something is being done at a given point is entirely welcome during your care.
Instructions on cleaning, eating, symptoms and follow-up round off the procedure before you go.
It helps to view the process in two halves. In the first, nothing is treated and everything is discussed. The second is the procedure itself, carried out according to what you agreed.
Here the dentist works out what is going on and what treatment needs to achieve, then explains the available approaches in plain terms.
If a laser is part of the agreed plan, treatment follows a controlled routine, which is designed to keep the work to the intended area.
Timing varies with the procedure, so ask the clinic whether these phases could happen in a single appointment or across more than one.
These are the four stages of a laser procedure as we would normally describe them. Your dentist can tell you how each one applies to the tissue being treated.
Request your visitYou receive protective eyewear, and the area to be treated is isolated when the procedure needs it.
An anesthetic or another suitable comfort measure is used, chosen according to the work planned for that day.
Using controlled settings, the dentist applies light energy to the tissue that was mapped out and no further.
You go through what to do about cleaning and food, what symptoms to watch for, and when to come back.
Before the deciding phase, the dentist needs an honest picture of your health and concerns. Bringing those details along means the conversation can begin in the right place.
Should you want to know the time or cost involved, ask once the procedure has been identified, since both are specific to what is recommended.
A desk for talking things through and seats for waiting at our clinic.
Knowing the order of things won’t suit everyone, but for many people it takes the edge off. If you would like a running explanation during treatment, that’s something to ask about.
Ask for a description of what comes next if it would help you to feel settled.
Mentioning what you feel gives the dentist the chance to pause or alter what’s happening.
If an earlier explanation didn’t sink in, you’re free to request it again in simpler words.
The final stretch
Once the appointment is over, the process continues in a quieter way. Healing depends on the procedure and on you, so these are the stages that tend to follow.
Tenderness, swelling or short-term sensitivity may appear for a while, which your instructions will help you manage.
Clean and eat as you were advised, adjusting your usual routine around the treated area when told to.
Coming back according to your schedule closes the loop, and the dentist can then see how things have healed.
If symptoms worsen at any point in this stretch, call the clinic and describe them.

Helpful details about laser dentistry in Burrows Central.
Ask our teamDiagnosis always leads. A laser is one possible way to carry out treatment, so the dentist must determine what is happening before deciding whether it has a role.
You can ask at any stage. There is a specific opportunity before treatment begins, when the plan, comfort measures and expected healing have been explained to you.
You put on protective eyewear, the area is isolated if necessary, and the comfort measures selected for your procedure are provided.
Expect guidance on keeping the area clean, on food, on which symptoms deserve attention and on when you should return for follow-up.
Treatment may be paused or adjusted if you report discomfort. Ask your dentist beforehand how a change of approach would be handled for your particular procedure.
Send the form on this page or dial (204) 338-3003 to ask for an assessment. Staff at the clinic will then be in contact to organize your first visit on McPhillips Street.
