Maybe it was pulled years ago and you have simply learned to chew on the other side. An empty space doesn’t rule out routine care, and the teeth around it still deserve attention.
Let's find a time
When a tooth has been gone for some time, it is easy to stop thinking about that part of your mouth. A check-up gives your dentist a chance to see how the neighbouring teeth, the gum, and your bite have been getting along. You may hear that all is stable, or that something merits a closer conversation.
Stony Mountain is outside the City of Winnipeg, so residents who choose this clinic come in to McPhillips Street for their visits. Having a space doesn’t commit you to replacing it. A check-up simply gives you the information you need if you ever want to weigh that decision.
Explore check-ups & cleanings
Teeth on each side of a space are examined, along with the opposing teeth above or below.
Your hygienist can show you how to clean the surfaces that now face an open space.
You can ask about replacement options purely to learn about them, and decide in your own time.
A routine appointment looks at the mouth as a whole, including how you bite and chew today. Teeth may gradually shift when a neighbour is lost, and your exam can show whether that is relevant for you.
Your dentist considers the space, and also how the remaining teeth are working together.
Tooth surfaces beside a gap can gather plaque in unexpected places, and your hygienist includes them in your cleaning.
How your teeth respond to a missing tooth differs from person to person. Your dentist can tell you what is happening in your case, after looking at the area.
Expect the same basic steps as anyone’s routine visit. Mentioning the missing tooth from the outset simply ensures it gets a place in the discussion.
Request your visitYour team goes through your health history and medications. Share what you recall about when and why the tooth was removed.
Your dentist examines your teeth, gums, and bite, explains what has changed around the space, and discusses any images required.
Your hygienist removes plaque and hardened tartar, and takes note of the surfaces beside the gap that are difficult to keep clear.
Hear what is healthy, what to monitor, and whether you may want to explore replacement, then discuss when to come back.
It’s fine if your memory is vague. Knowing roughly when the tooth came out, and what you have noticed since, gives your dentist helpful context for the exam.
If you might want to discuss replacement, ask when you call whether that would fit in this visit or call for another trip into the city, and how to request cost information.

Some people feel awkward about a visible gap, or about what led to it. Dental teams see missing teeth often. There is no need to explain or justify anything you would prefer not to discuss.
If you would rather focus on your cleaning than discuss replacement, you are free to say so at the start.
If that extraction was a bad experience, telling your team what happened helps them explain each step.
Arrange a hand signal with your hygienist, so that you can ask for a break at any point.
Looking after what remains
Your remaining teeth may be handling more of the chewing than they used to. Between visits, keep them clean, pay attention to changes, and make a note of anything you would like to ask.
Angle the bristles toward surfaces that face the gap, or ask your hygienist to demonstrate what you should do.
A tooth that begins to feel different when you chew should be mentioned, particularly if there is discomfort.
When replacement has come up, ask for what you would need to know, then revisit it when you are ready.
Has a neighbouring tooth started hurting or cracked? Phone the clinic so it can be assessed.

Helpful details about check-ups & cleanings in Stony Mountain.
Ask our teamThe basics are the same, although your hygienist pays attention to the surfaces next to the gap. These can collect plaque in ways that the rest of your teeth may not.
Neighbouring and opposing teeth may gradually shift, but it doesn’t happen the same way in everyone. Your dentist can check your bite and tell you whether this has taken place in your mouth.
That decision is yours, made after your dentist has assessed your mouth and explained what they see. Some people choose replacement, and others do not. You are welcome to ask about both.
A routine exam can begin that conversation, but suitability requires a proper assessment. Mention your interest, and your dentist can explain what would be involved in looking further.
Yes, since that may affect how your teeth are wearing and which ones are working the hardest. Include it when your history is being reviewed, along with any foods you have stopped eating.
