I just knocked a tooth out. Should I use this form?+
No. Call the clinic instead and explain what happened. A form is meant for routine requests, and an injury needs a conversation.
How soon after an accident can a bridge be considered?+
There is no single answer, as it depends on healing and on the condition of the surrounding teeth. Your dentist can advise you after assessing the area.
Do my undamaged teeth have to be cut down for a bridge?+
For a tooth-supported bridge, anchors are prepared as needed, which is an important trade-off to discuss. Implant support is one alternative, depending on your health and anatomy.
Is an implant the more obvious choice after an injury?+
Not automatically. A single implant replaces a root and holds its own crown, but bone, health, healing and timing all count, so your dentist should compare the options with you.
Can a bridge match a front tooth I lost?+
Matching is an aim of the shade and shape planning, and appearance is reviewed during try-in. Ask to see what is proposed, and say so if something looks off to you.
What if the gap is from an accident years ago?+
You can still have it assessed. Teeth around an older space may have shifted, and your dentist will review what is there now.
How do Stonewall residents book a non-urgent assessment?+
Phone (204) 338-3003 or complete this page’s form with a short note about your injury. You would come to our Winnipeg clinic, once a time has been confirmed by the clinic.
