I live in Castlebury Meadows and wear a partial. How do I ask about implants?+
Request a visit below, or call (204) 338-3003 and mention your partial. The assessment itself would take place at 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg.
Could implants mean no more clasps?+
Possibly, if a fixed restoration suits your gaps. Some implant-supported options don’t use clasps at all, but suitability depends on an examination and imaging of each site.
Do I need an implant for each tooth my partial replaces?+
Often not. Restorative design and available support guide the count, so several teeth might be carried by fewer implants, depending on where they are in your mouth.
Can I keep wearing my partial during healing?+
Ask about this during planning. It may be possible, but the partial could need changes to protect the healing area, and that depends on where the implants go.
My partial has hurt my supporting teeth. Does this matter?+
It does, because those teeth may need treatment of their own. Tell the dentist what you’ve noticed so that their condition can be factored into your overall plan.
Is a new partial a good alternative to implants?+
For some people, yes. It avoids surgery and may address fit problems, so it’s reasonable to ask how a new partial would compare with the implant options you were shown.
