Snap-in Dentures for Selkirk Residents

A consultation goes further when you arrive with your facts in order. Selkirk is outside the City of Winnipeg, so if you are coming to our McPhillips Street clinic, it pays to know what to gather and why each item matters.

What Your Records Can Tell the Dentist

Planning for implant-retained dentures draws on a wide range of information. Your medical history and current medications bear on whether surgery is advisable. Past dental work can explain how you came to be where you are, and your existing denture offers evidence about what has and has not worked.

Some of this can only be collected at the clinic, including an examination and implant imaging. The rest comes from you. A little homework cannot decide whether treatment suits you, but it can make the conversation more efficient and give you fewer loose ends to chase afterward.

Your health details

An accurate list of conditions and medications is one of the most valuable things you can bring.

Your dental past

Dates of extractions, dentures and any earlier implant work help fill in the background.

Your current denture

Please wear or bring it, since its fit and condition form part of the assessment.

Why each item counts

From your paperwork to a treatment decision.

None of these details is requested for its own sake. Each one connects to a real question about implants, attachments or the denture.

What you can supply

Gather whatever is reasonably available. Missing items should not stop you from asking for a visit.

  • Medications, including those for chronic conditions.
  • Any smoking history, stated honestly.
  • The office that last treated you, if you remember.
  • Past imaging, if you know that some exists.

What the clinic establishes

Only clinical records taken at an appointment can answer certain questions about your mouth.

  • The condition of your gums and supporting bone.
  • Three-dimensional images for implant planning.
  • Your bite and tooth position.
  • How well the existing denture fits and functions.

A complete file does not make someone a candidate. That remains a clinical judgment reached through assessment.

Records along the way

New information gets added at each stage.

The picture becomes more detailed as you go, determining how many implants are used, when things happen and whether your denture can be adapted.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Hand over your history

    Share what you collected, and the dentist adds an examination of your bone, gums, bite, dexterity and denture to complete the assessment.

  2. 02

    Add the imaging

    Three-dimensional images join your restorative goals on the planning table, helping to decide on implant location and attachment design.

  3. 03

    Record the surgical stage

    Your implants are placed and left to integrate according to plan. Keep your own note of the date and any instructions you were given.

  4. 04

    Capture the final details

    Records of your bite and tooth position lead to a connected denture, followed by retention adjustments, pressure checks and removal training.

A one-page summary

Put the essentials on a single sheet.

You do not need a thick binder. One clear page listing your health details and dental background will often serve you better, and you can keep a copy for yourself.

If you hope to reduce trips into Winnipeg, you might ask whether anything can be sent in ahead of your assessment.

Your one-page checklist

  • Names and doses of everything you take.
  • Allergies and major medical conditions.
  • A rough timeline of tooth loss and past dentures.
  • Your dental insurance details, if you have any.

Gaps are fine

An incomplete history is no cause for embarrassment.

Few people have decades of dental records neatly filed away. If your last denture was made many years ago, or the old office no longer exists, simply tell the dentist what you remember.

Honesty over neatness

A rough but truthful account does more good than a tidy summary that leaves things out.

Health details stay relevant

Even a condition that seems unrelated to your teeth is worth listing on your sheet.

Ask what is missing

If the dentist would find something else helpful, you can look into getting it afterward.

Keep the folder going

Your notes stay useful after treatment.

Long-term care is easier when your history stays current. Inserts get replaced and examinations recur, and a brief running record lets you see when something has changed.

01

Log replaced parts

Write down the date whenever a retention element is changed, to help you spot your own pattern.

02

Update your medications

Tell the clinic about health or prescription changes at your regular examinations.

03

Record unusual changes

If food trapping or looseness begins, note the date and let the clinic know.

Paperwork can always wait, but an urgent concern cannot. Call the clinic if you have one.

Selkirk Residents Are Seen at Our McPhillips Street Clinic

Selkirk is outside the City of Winnipeg, and residents come into the city for care. Bring your information to Winnipeg North Dental, Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, where your assessment takes place. Directions are available from this page.

Ask our team
What if I cannot find any of my old dental records?

You can still ask for an appointment. An examination and imaging supply the information needed for planning, and your own memory of what happened and when can fill in part of the background.

Do I need to list every medication I take?

Yes, as far as you can. Medical history is part of deciding whether implant-retained treatment is appropriate, and an accurate list gives the dentist a truer picture of your health.

Should I bring an old denture as well as my current one?

Your current denture is the important one, since its fit, bite, strength and tooth position are reviewed. An older one may be worth bringing if you remember it working better or worse, so ask when you book.

Will past imaging replace the images you need?

Ask the clinic before assuming so. Implant planning calls for three-dimensional imaging, and the dentist would need to determine whether anything you already have is suitable and current.

Should I bring insurance information?

It can help you and the clinic talk through the financial side. Coverage varies by plan and is not something this page can confirm, so check your own policy too.

How can someone from Selkirk find out what to bring?

Ask when you phone (204) 338-3003 or when the clinic responds to your form. Once your time is confirmed, you would bring your details to 2358 McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.

Facts in order?

Ask for your assessment when you are ready.

Selkirk residents can use this form to request a visit, and the clinic will respond with the next steps.
