Dental Implants for Park View Residents

Years of fillings, crowns and root canals don’t rule out an implant, but they do shape the planning. Park View residents can have everything reviewed together at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg.

Fitting in with what’s there

A New Implant Has to Work With Your Older Dental Work

If your mouth has a long record of repairs, you may wonder how one new piece could fit in. You’re right to wonder. A restoration that sits beside aged crowns or heavily filled teeth still needs to meet your bite, line up with its neighbours, and leave room for cleaning.

An exam can look at the whole picture instead of only the empty space. Some older work may be sound and can stay. Some may need attention at some point, and that could influence the order of things. Park View residents can have this conversation at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, before any implant decision is made.

Whole-mouth perspective

Your neighbouring restorations and opposing teeth are part of what a new tooth will have to work alongside.

Sensible sequencing

Decay, infection or gum problems elsewhere may need to be dealt with before implant surgery is considered.

Colour and shape

Matching older crowns is a design question worth raising early if the area can be seen when you smile.

What gets reviewed

Looking beyond the empty space.

Two sets of questions tend to come up when someone has had a lot of dental work over the years. One concerns your existing teeth and the other concerns the planned implant.

Your existing work

Old restorations can look fine and be fine, or they can be hiding something. The review checks how they’re holding up and whether they affect your options.

  • Margins of old crowns and larger fillings.
  • Signs of decay or infection in the teeth around it.
  • Gum health around current restorations.
  • Wear suggesting heavy forces on your teeth.

The implant restoration

Your replacement tooth is custom designed, which allows it to be planned with your current bite and neighbouring teeth in view.

  • Space for a useful final tooth.
  • How it meets the teeth biting against it.
  • Shade and form compared with the teeth beside it.
  • Whether you’ll be able to clean around it.

Not every older filling or crown needs changing. Ask which items are priorities, which can be monitored, and why.

Taking stock

A review of your whole dental history.

Expect a visit with a wider scope than one tooth, since knowing how your mouth arrived at this point can inform what is recommended next.

Request your visit
  1. 01

    Share the history

    Give a rough account of major work you’ve had, along with anything that has failed or caused trouble more than once.

  2. 02

    Survey your teeth

    Existing restorations, your bite, gums and the space itself are all examined, and X-rays may be taken where appropriate.

  3. 03

    Assess the site

    If an implant remains a possibility, three-dimensional imaging helps with reviewing bone volume and anatomy.

  4. 04

    Put things in order

    Talk through what would need to happen first, and how other treatment might fit with an implant’s phases.

Dig out your records

Your old paperwork may be useful.

You don’t need a complete file. Even knowing roughly which clinic did what, and when, can help fill in the story of your restorations.

If you have recent X-rays from another clinic, you can ask how to have them sent over before your appointment.

If you can find them

  • Names of clinics you’ve attended over the years.
  • Approximate dates of crowns, root canals or bridges.
  • A list of your medications and medical conditions.
  • Any teeth that have needed repeated repairs.

Decades of dentistry

You may have been through a lot.

A long dental history can leave you tired, wary or discouraged. You’re free to say so, and to describe what has and hasn’t been helpful in past experiences of care.

Previous bad experiences

Tell the clinician what went poorly in the past, so that it’s understood before any new plan is discussed.

Treatment fatigue

If you can’t face another big project yet, say so, and ask what could reasonably wait.

Priorities

Let your own goals be heard, whether you care most about appearance, comfort or simply avoiding more repairs.

Afterward

Everything still needs looking after.

Once an implant joins the mix, your care includes both natural teeth, which can decay, and implant tissue, which can become inflamed. Both call for daily cleaning and regular professional visits.

01

A mixed routine

Ask for cleaning advice that addresses your natural teeth, older restorations and implant, because each may need different tools.

02

Older work on watch

Restorations that aren’t being replaced now can be rechecked at later visits for any developing change.

03

Bite changes

A new restoration elsewhere in your mouth could alter how things meet, so mention it if your bite feels off.

Sudden swelling or a problem that won’t wait calls for a phone call to (204) 338-3003, not the form.

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.
