You’ve avoided the dentist for a while, you’re missing a tooth or two, and implants are on your mind. Northwood residents can begin with an unhurried look at the whole mouth on McPhillips Street.
Let's find a time
If you have been away from dental care for years, the missing teeth may be the part you think about most. It is natural to want to start there. Yet an implant is placed into a living environment, and active infection or unhealthy gums can raise the risk of trouble if they are ignored.
That doesn’t mean implants are off the table, only that they might not be the opening move. At our Winnipeg clinic, a Northwood resident in this position can expect a broad examination first. After that, you can talk through which problems need attention earlier and where replacing teeth might eventually fit in.

However long it has been, the point of the visit is to understand where things stand and what comes next.
Infection and gum disease are generally addressed before anyone places a new implant into the area.
A long list of needs can be split into priorities, so that you aren’t facing everything in one sitting.
After a long gap, an exam can turn up several things at once. Thinking of them in two groups helps make the overall picture feel less overwhelming.
Conditions that are active now usually need to be dealt with first, as they can affect the health of any future implant.
When things have settled, the conversation can turn to which teeth to replace and which method might suit each gap.
The order here is general and yours may differ. Your examination decides what actually needs doing, and in what sequence.
You don’t have to agree to everything at once. If implants turn out to be part of your eventual plan, this is roughly how you might get there.
Request your visitYour teeth, gums, bite and health history are reviewed. Any X-rays needed are discussed with you at this appointment.
Treatment needed for gums, infection or decay is prioritized. You can ask which items are pressing and which can reasonably wait.
When conditions allow, scans and records set out the final tooth position, then the implant goes in surgically, with a graft if needed.
Bone integrates with the implant under monitoring, and then a restoration on its abutment completes the tooth. Regular reviews follow.
You don’t need to clean up your act first or feel ready for a lecture. Come as you are. Booking the visit is often the hardest part, and you have already started by reading this.
If it has been a very long time, you might want to say so when requesting your appointment, so more time can be considered if needed.

Shame keeps many people out of the dental chair for longer than fear does. You won’t need to justify your absence. Tell us what kept you away only if you want to, and what would make coming back easier.
Let the clinic know if you would prefer to go slowly, starting with talking and only then moving to anything else.
A question like what matters most right now can shrink a long list into something that feels achievable.
If fear or a past experience kept you away, saying so can help you feel understood and better prepared.
Staying back in the habit
Coming back is only part of it. Implants rely on steady gum health over the years: cavities aren’t the concern, but plaque-driven inflammation around one can undermine its bone. Regular visits are how trouble gets caught.
Maintenance appointments help prevent a repeat of the long gap, and they keep your implant and teeth under review.
Daily cleaning around your teeth and any restoration becomes more manageable when someone shows you where to focus.
Should a crown shift, your bite change or your gums swell, get in touch without letting it drift.
Urgent problems are for the phone. Please ring (204) 338-3003 and tell the clinic what is happening.

Helpful details about dental implants in Northwood.
Ask our teamStart by asking for a general examination, using this page or calling (204) 338-3003. It takes place at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, and implants can be raised at that visit too.
Probably not without an assessment first. Gum condition, infection, bone and your general health all influence timing, and some of those might need dealing with beforehand.
Only an assessment can tell you that. Having other dental problems doesn’t automatically rule implants out, but they could change the order of treatment or which option suits you.
Don’t assume so. Each tooth is judged by its condition, and some might be worth saving. Ask which ones can be treated and which aren’t likely to last.
Care is often divided into stages, starting with what is most pressing. Ask how your treatment might be broken up, so you can plan your time and costs.
Saying that you feel embarrassed is plenty. It helps the people treating you to understand, and from there you can focus on what you would like to change.
These pages cover an all-round check-up, treatment for unhealthy gums, and how a larger rebuild may be approached when many teeth are involved.
