Maybe you’re reading this on behalf of a parent or partner who is struggling to chew. If they live in Kildonan Park, this page can help you prepare together for an assessment at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
Caring about someone’s eating, comfort or confidence can send you straight to a search engine, and you may soon form a firm opinion about what they should do. An implant, however, involves surgery, a stretch of healing and lifelong upkeep, so the choice belongs to the person who will live with it.
What you can do is make the choice easier. That could mean noting symptoms, gathering health information and thinking through the practical side. For Kildonan Park residents and those helping them, this page sets out what matters before anyone visits our clinic in Winnipeg.
Explore dental implants
What the patient wants, whether easier chewing or simply less fuss, should steer the conversation throughout.
An accurate account of medications and conditions helps a dentist judge the risks involved and the likely timing.
Someone needs to be able to clean around the restoration each day, and that deserves thinking through early on.
A few gentle conversations ahead of the assessment can reveal what your relative actually wants, which might not match your assumptions about it.
Fixing a loose denture, replacing one lost tooth and restoring a complete arch are different projects that call for different designs.
Implant care unfolds in phases across months and includes surgery, healing and restoration, so it helps to know how they feel about that.
Implants are one path among several, and a simpler restoration may turn out to be what suits your relative’s health and priorities.
Age by itself doesn’t decide suitability. Health, anatomy, healing and the ability to maintain the result carry far more weight in an assessment.
Your relative’s own needs will decide the details. In broad strokes, an assessment of implant suitability tends to follow a sequence like this.
Request your visitThe patient explains what they would like to change. Try letting them answer first, and offer details only where needed.
Health conditions and medications are discussed, as each may affect healing, risk or how treatment should be timed.
Gums, remaining teeth and bite get examined, and three-dimensional imaging provides a view of the bone and anatomy.
Possible approaches are laid out, including those without implants. This is the moment for the patient’s questions and yours.
Practical support tends to be welcome, particularly when memories are patchy or a medical history is long. Doing a little organizing beforehand also takes pressure off the person you’re helping.
Thinking of coming along or arranging things on someone’s behalf? Please ask the clinic what is possible, and be sure the patient is comfortable with your role.
The waiting area and reception at the clinic.
Dental decisions can feel personal, and someone can become quieter when others speak for them. Giving your relative room to voice doubts or say no is itself a form of support.
Any trouble with stairs, hearing or sitting for long periods can be mentioned when arranging a visit.
Long-standing nerves are common, so encourage your relative to mention them instead of toughing it out.
Let the information settle afterward, and avoid pressing for an answer in the car on the way home.
Afterward at home
Think ahead about how things will go in five or ten years. Plaque control and regular maintenance stay essential, and a person’s ability to manage these can change as they get older.
Find out what cleaning will involve, and whether your relative’s hands and eyesight can manage it comfortably.
Ongoing hygiene care and bite reviews mean recurring appointments, so talk about how those will happen.
Family members are sometimes first to hear about soreness, a bad taste or a loose part, so pass such concerns along.
If you notice swelling, drainage or something else that seems urgent around an implant, call (204) 338-3003 and don’t use the form.

Ask our teamThe assessment happens at our clinic, at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street in Winnipeg. Call (204) 338-3003 to ask how to arrange it, or send the request form.
Please ask the clinic when you call, so you can find out what is possible. It also helps to check first that your relative would like you to be there.
A medication list alone can’t answer that. The dentist reviews what is being taken as part of the assessment, and some medications can affect risk or timing.
Try asking what they would change about their teeth, if anything. If an implant doesn’t appeal, other options exist, and someone’s own priorities should lead.
Frailty is a fair concern to bring up. The dentist can weigh general health, healing and upkeep, and may also talk through simpler replacements for comparison.
Ask this question before treatment. The design of a restoration and the cleaning it requires can be discussed with your relative’s abilities in mind, both now and in later years.
