General Dentistry Services We Provide
Some of the most common general dentistry services available at our Winnipeg practice include:
Preventative Hygiene
At Leila North Dental, we will take the time to properly discuss dental maintenance so that you can keep your mouth feeling great, with a nice smile free of pain. If you have not seen a dentist in the last year, you should schedule a check up and we can keep your teeth and gums regularly maintained. Good dental hygiene includes regular teeth cleanings and oral checkups, in combination with brushing and flossing daily.
Fillings
Dental fillings can be used to treat and restore damaged and decayed teeth. We recommend regular checkups, if cavities are detected early, the chance of saving the tooth is increased greatly. With dental fillings, the affected part of the tooth is removed and filled with dental material that blends in with your teeth and is shaped comfortability in your mouth.
Bridges & Crowns
Our dentists may recommend a bridge or crown if you’re missing one or more teeth. Gaps left by missing teeth eventually cause the remaining teeth to rotate or shift into the empty spaces, resulting in misaligned teeth. Missing teeth can also lead to gum disease and other dental disorders.
Extractions & Root Canals
Our expert dentists may recommend an extraction if you have a tooth infection that is causing you pain, discomfort or is damaging the bone. Extractions can also be needed for wisdom teeth if they cause crowding in your mouth or are causing issues to your teeth, jaws or gums. A root canal is often used to help save a decaying tooth by removing infected tissues and replacing it with dental materials.
Dentures
There are several different types of dentures including full denture, partial dentures, implant dentures, and temporary dentures. We recommend getting in touch with us to book a consultation to determine what option is right for you. Our expert dental technicians will work to ensure your dentures look and feel amazing!

Emergency Dental Care Near Me in Winnipeg
Cracked, broken, or displaced teeth can cause intense pain and require immediate attention. Leila North Family Dental provides emergency dental appointments on the same day you call if needed. Some common dental emergencies we treat include:
- Toothaches and dental infections
- Traumatic dental injuries from falls or accidents
- Socked teeth from sports injuries or falls
- Loosened or displaced dental crowns or fillings

Our dentists are experienced in providing temporary fillings, repositioning loosened teeth, draining abscesses, and other emergency treatments to quickly relieve pain and swelling until definitive care can be scheduled. We work hard to see emergency patients the same day they call, often within a few hours.
Preventative Care is Key to Long-Term Oral Health
A crucial part of general dentistry is preventing issues before they arise through proper home care and regular professional cleanings. Some ways we help patients maintain excellent oral hygiene include:
- Providing oral hygiene instructions and demonstrating adequate brushing/flossing techniques
- Recommending high-quality electric or sonic toothbrushes for superior plaque removal
- Suggesting prescription fluoride toothpastes or rinses for cavity protection
- Conducting routine cleanings and exams every six months to catch early signs of decay
- Applying dental sealants to protect back teeth vulnerable to cavities
- Taking x-rays periodically to check for tooth cracks or bone/gum problems
Following prevention advice and booking regular cleanings is much less costly and invasive than ignoring issues until restorative care becomes necessary. Our team will work with you to establish a personalized oral hygiene regimen for your risk factors.
