Dr. Winchar is a 1975 graduate of the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Manitoba.
Since then, he has acquired 2000 hours of continuing education on head, neck,
facial pain and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) as well as functional jaw
orthopedics/orthodontics. Understanding what patients go through with occlusal
problems comes naturally to him due to his own personal experience before being
treated successfully.
He believes that TMD requires a multidisciplinary approach to treatment and
refers to health care professionals as needed. Along with a thoroughly trained
and experienced dental assistant, the practice provides a relaxed, caring atmosphere
in a modern setting.
Dr. Winchar utilized the latest in computerized technology, which allows him
the opportunity to differentiate between primary cranio-mandibular or primary
cranio-cervical problems. Routinely he uses electromyography, electrosonography
and kinesiographic measurements in TMD treatment. In fact, he is the only dentist
in Winnipeg that employs the computerized technology to help him diagnose and
provide a treatment plan for his patients.
Among his many organization memberships are:
· Fellowship – International College of Cranio-Mandibular Orthopedics
· American Academy of Craniofacial Pain
· American Association of Functional Orthodontics
Dr. H. Dubo, past department head, Rehabilitative Medicine at the Health Sciences
Centre and Dr. Winchar routinely work together on Manitoba Public Insurance
Corporation trauma patients.
Dr. Winchar is also a LVI Graduate and would be most pleased to discuss advanced
cosmetic treatment and smile makeovers.
