I’m in East Kildonan and ready to start. What is the first step?+
Ask for an implant assessment at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street, using this page or by calling (204) 338-3003. The clinic then gets back to you about a time.
Can you book my surgery at the first appointment?+
Surgery depends on what the examination and imaging show, so the assessment has to come first. Once that’s done, you can talk through what sequence and timing would make sense.
What if the assessment doesn’t match what I wanted?+
You might hear about extra steps such as grafting or gum care, a different timeline, or a different kind of replacement. Ask for the reasoning, then decide with those facts in hand.
Should I start any new routine ahead of treatment?+
Keeping up careful brushing and cleaning between your teeth is sensible for anyone. If you smoke or have gum concerns, bring it up, because both can bear on implant planning.
Is there anything I should stop doing before the assessment?+
If you’re wondering about something specific, phone the clinic and ask. Otherwise, simply arrive with an accurate medication list so medical considerations can be looked at properly.
Once I’ve started, will I have to come back a lot?+
Expect several separate appointments across planning, placement, monitoring and restoration, with maintenance later on. The number depends on your plan, so ask for your own outline.
