If you are making the journey to Winnipeg from elsewhere in the province, a little planning helps. Here is how to prepare for a tooth reshaping assessment.
Let's find a time
Travelling for a minor cosmetic change raises a practical question that local patients seldom think about: will the trip be worthwhile? Enamel contouring can only be recommended after an examination, so we would rather help you arrive prepared than suggest an outcome ahead of time.
Manitoba patients are welcome to request care at Winnipeg North Dental, our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg. Mention when you get in touch that you will be travelling. It gives us the chance to go over what the appointment involves, what records may be useful, and how much time to set aside.
Explore tooth reshaping
Recent X-rays and notes from your regular dental office may add helpful background for your assessment.
Raise appointment length and scheduling up front so you can organize your travel around a confirmed time.
Think ahead about who you would call if the tooth feels different once you have returned home.
It is worth travelling with realistic expectations. Your appointment answers whether this tooth is a candidate, and that answer can be no.
Several things beyond appearance influence whether enamel can be safely adjusted.
If you are a candidate, the changes available are small, and they are meant to be.
If the change you want would need significant shortening, or removal near the dentin, another treatment would have to be considered instead.
Because you are planning around distance, it helps to picture the whole sequence, from the first contact to returning home.
Request your visitDescribe the concern by phone or through the form, and say you would be travelling. Confirm your appointment time before you book anything for the journey.
Find out what your current dental office can share, then check with us about getting that information here ahead of time.
Your teeth and bite are examined at the clinic. If contouring suits you and the plan is agreed, the dentist reviews how and when it would be carried out.
Before you leave, raise anything you are unsure about. Questions that come up later can be handled with a phone call to the clinic.
Having your history in order can make a long trip more productive. Your regular dental office may be able to help with some of the items here.
Fees and benefits are easier to deal with before the journey, so raise them on your first call. Any portion left to you hinges on your own policy and on the treatment chosen.
A first look at our clinic before you travel.
Walking into a dental office you have never seen can feel a bit strange, especially after travelling. Take your time, and tell us what would make the appointment easier for you.
Contouring that stays within enamel is generally comfortable and often goes ahead with no local anaesthetic.
We have not met before, so tell us about past dental experiences you would like us to keep in mind.
Report any sensitivity at once, and the dentist will halt and reassess before going further.
Once you are back home
Being far from the clinic does not change how a reshaped tooth should be looked after. It does make it useful to know what is worth mentioning and to whom.
Let your usual dental office know that enamel on this tooth was contoured, so its records reflect the change.
If an edge begins to feel off, have it examined, because wear or a fresh chip may be behind it.
A quick call to (204) 338-3003 can help you decide what the next step should be for your situation.
Questions after the trip home? Distance is no obstacle to picking up the phone.

Helpful details about tooth reshaping in Manitoba.
Ask our teamYes, patients living elsewhere in Manitoba can request a visit by form or at (204) 338-3003. Tell the clinic you are travelling so scheduling can be discussed, and hold off on travel plans until a time is confirmed.
That cannot be promised in advance, because the examination decides whether contouring is suitable at all. Ask about this when you call so that you can plan with realistic expectations.
Ask when you book. Recent images from your current dental office may be useful, and the clinic can tell you what would help and how to arrange the transfer.
A photo can help describe what you are noticing, but it does not show enamel thickness, cracks or how your teeth contact each other. Candidacy is decided in person, during an examination.
Pick up the phone and explain the sensation to the clinic. An edge turning rough or sharp warrants an assessment, because wear, a chip or some other cause could lie behind it.
Yes. Enamel does not regenerate, which is why any change is deliberately small. Take the time you need to decide, whether that is at the visit or after you have gone home.
Knowing the alternatives ahead of time can make your conversation at the clinic more useful, especially on a visit you have planned carefully.
