How can a Park View resident get old dental work and implants reviewed together?+
Mention both when you call (204) 338-3003 or fill out the form. Your appointment would take place at our clinic at 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg.
Can an implant go beside a tooth that has a root canal or crown?+
This can often be considered, provided the neighbouring tooth’s condition is reviewed first. Infection in the area can affect timing, so the exam covers those teeth as well.
Will my implant crown match my older crowns?+
The new crown is custom made, and matching is part of the planning. Older work may have changed colour with time, so ask what match you can reasonably expect.
Do I have to redo my old crowns first?+
Not necessarily. If a neighbouring crown is sound, it may stay as is. If it’s failing, the order of treatment may be worth discussing as part of your plan.
I keep needing repairs. Would an implant end all of that?+
An implant can’t decay, but it needs maintenance and your other teeth still need care. It wouldn’t remove the possibility of future dental work elsewhere.
Can you use records from my previous clinic?+
Ask about transferring them when you get in touch. Recent images might be helpful, though the clinician may still need new ones for implant planning.
