I’m in Elmwood and my crown is years old. Can someone check it?+
Call (204) 338-3003 or use the request form, and let us know about the crown. Exams are held at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, MB R2V 4J6, once a time is confirmed.
If nothing hurts, why check?+
Pain isn’t a reliable signal for every issue with a restoration or its surroundings. An exam allows someone to see the margins, neighbouring teeth and tissues that you can’t easily examine yourself.
Should I bring my denture or guard to a check-up?+
Yes, bring along any removable piece you use, even if you don’t wear it every day. Seeing it and your tissues together gives your dentist a fuller picture.
Is an older restoration automatically due for replacement?+
Years in service don’t settle the matter by themselves. Condition, fit, function and the health of what surrounds it are what your dentist evaluates, so an old piece may simply stay in service.
Can my existing records be used if something needs redoing?+
Often new ones are needed, because teeth and tissues may have changed since the earlier records were made. Your dentist can tell you which details are required for the specific work.
