Oral Surgery Group of Winnipeg

I’ve had all 4 wisdom teeth taken out (2 in 2016 at the Main office and 2 in 2018 at Waverley) by Dr. Canosa. He was amazing both times, staff and anesthesiologists were great as well. Had no problems during or after the surgeries, and after-care is explained to you really well. Would highly recommend to anyone needing their wisdoms out!

I had my two lower wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Canosa in 2018 and was very pleased with my experience, despite my fear of dental work. I was extremely anxious and terrified about getting my teeth removed before my appointment. Dr. Canosa answered my questions and reassured me at the consultation appointment as well as right before the surgery and he was gentle, patient, understanding and kind, which I appreciated. I opted for IV sedation due to my anxiety and it went very well. The anesthesiologist managed to make me laugh while putting the needle in and seconds later, I don't remember anything and was completely out for the procedure. I woke up in the recovery area in a comfortable chair with gauze in my mouth and stitches where the teeth were what felt like minutes later but it had actually been an hour. I remembered nothing about the surgery, which was fabulous. Dr. Canosa and a nurse came to check on me while recovering and said everything had gone smoothly. I was still pretty out of it but was able to go home within half an hour and was given a prescription for pain meds, anti inflammatories and an antibiotic. The after care instructions were explained in detail to my mom and I. The surgery was the easy part. Recovery was more challenging, as I couldn't eat anything for a week (liquids-only), was nauseous and dizzy from the meds and anesthetic and was in a lot of pain for a few days. Thankfully though, everything has been healing well and it was just the first week that was rough. Make sure to follow the post-op instructions they give you (lots of ice packs during the first two days to reduce swelling, rinsing your mouth with salt water often, etc.) to help speed up the healing. They give you lots of gauze pads and a little syringe to clean out the holes (which comes in very handy). I would recommend the Oral Surgery Group and Dr. Canosa for getting wisdom teeth removed. Their office (Main Street location) is modern, beautiful and clean with a comfortable waiting area. The staff are professional and friendly. They don't direct bill to your insurance, but they do submit the claim on your behalf and I was reimbursed within days, so I wasn't out that money for very long. They do great work! Thank you!

Dr removed one of my wisdom teeth and after removal decided not to prescribe antibiotics for no given reason. Told you will be fine within 24 hours. When called his office after 4 days, his staff reply 3-5 days of pain and stress is common. I told I need antibiotics it is still bleeding and painful. Could not open the jaw to eat and no solid food. Going to work and doing day to day activity with pain for one tooth removal by a specialist, who knowingly decided to put me through pain and compromise the quality of life. Only because he wanted me to go for a follow-up visit to earn $85 fee. Only after 1st call, they asked me to come to their office for follow -up and blocked my cell number. Very malicious and unethical DR and staff. Would not recommend this Dr to anyone. Can take a risk and spoil your 1 to 2 weeks only to make you pay his follow-up fee. Stay away.

Lovely experience... considering I was getting my wisdom teeth removed. I was absolutely terrified and a new mother. They were very accommodating and let me pump before the surgery and answered all my questions regarding breastfeeding after anesthesia. The whole staff was super friendly and sweet that I dealt with, from the sweet front gal, to the anesthesiologist, Dr. Canosa and the kind nurse post op. Happy as could be in the circumstances.

I recently got all four wisdom teeth out, and from start to finish Dr. Canosa and his team were all so nice to me and assured me that the procedure will go smoothly. The ladies at the reception were very polite and very responsive to submit my insurance claim. I definitely recommend coming here to get your dental procedure done.
