Patient & staff safety is our number one priority

In light of the confirmed cases of COVID-19 (coronavirus) in Winnipeg, we at Stafford Dental Group would like to assure all of our patients we are doing our part in ensuring your safety, as well as the safety of our staff and their family members.

It is regular practice for us to thoroughly disinfect and sterilize all of our equipment between each and every patient. Operatories and chairs are thoroughly wiped down and disinfected after each appointment. Many of the instruments and equipment are single use, i.e. discarded after using one time. Hand sanitizer is available at the front desk for your convenience.

At this time, we remain open to serve our patients’ needs. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at 204-475-6874 or via email at info@stafforddental.ca

Finally, if you are feeling ill, please take precautions to protect yourself and our staff. We understand and would be happy to reschedule your appointment if necessary.

 

About Stafford Dental Group

Stafford Dental Group has been at the corner of Stafford and Fleet since the 1950’s. Originally Dr. Leonard Karr lived and practiced out of his house as most dentists did in the 50’s. Later, it became only a dedicated dental office when Dr. Laurence Soloway joined the practice. For the next 40 years it became a neighborhood fixture. Dr. Les Allen and Dr. Jory Stillwater purchased the practice in 1986 and Dr. Billy Kettner moved his practice from Westminster Avenue to join the group a couple years later. 30 years later, Stafford Dental Group continues it’s legacy with Dr. Les Allen’s retirement and Dr. Anu Singh joining the group. The practice has always kept pace with innovative changes and continues to offer the highest standard of quality of care to its patients.

We have a wide array of techniques to obtain the exact results you desire. Ask us about how we can help you achieve the smile of your dreams.

Clinically speaking, restorative dentistry refers to the health management of teeth and gums as well as their supporting structures. These services include fillings, porcelain crowns, bridges (permanent, to replace one or more teeth), root canal treatment, implant placement and restorations and dentures. Our goal is to restore your teeth to function in the optimal way for your overall health. A healthy mouth leads to a healthy body.

Root canals have a bad reputation amongst the general population. Sadly, while these pre-conceived notions are not the reality, they may cause great anxiety to those who have not experienced a root canal. Simply put, a root canal is like a filling, except the filling progresses all the way down into the tooth’s roots. Once you are comfortably anaesthetized, we access the tooth just as we would for a filling. We then proceed to remove the affected nerve tissue, clean and disinfect the tooth, fill the space with an inert filling material and finally cover it with a filling. It is often recommended to cover a root-canalled tooth with a crown in order to prevent the tooth from fracturing in the future.  If you have any concerns, please ask us to help you understand this treatment.

Some instances in dentistry require surgery to obtain a healthy mouth. This can include removal of broken and diseased teeth that are no longer restorable, removal of wisdom teeth, emergency extractions or even the need for a gum specialist to replace tissue lost due to recession or other issues. We will address all of your needs and ensure you are comfortable and receive the quality care that you deserve.
