Before spending time and money, you want to know how long implants last and what can go wrong. Riverbend residents can start with frank answers from our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
You may have read glowing claims about implants lasting a lifetime and found yourself skeptical. Good. No lifespan can honestly be promised, because success rests on healing, health, smoking, infection, bite forces, positioning and how well the area is maintained.
What can be said is that those factors are often known and discussed in advance. If you live in Riverbend and prefer facts to enthusiasm, our dentist at the Winnipeg clinic can examine your situation, review the risks and alternatives, and help you judge whether the commitment makes sense.

An implant’s service life cannot be stated in advance, and its separate parts may not share the same timeline.
Several influences on success can be identified early, and a number of them are within your power to manage.
Daily home care and professional appointments are an ongoing part of having an implant at all.
It is reasonable to ask what might go wrong before agreeing to surgery. Broadly speaking, the answers fall into two groups.
Living tissue must heal and then stay healthy, and that part of treatment is not fully within anyone’s control.
Implant systems are made of components under daily chewing load, and each one may need attention at some point.
Understanding these risks is not a reason for alarm. It simply means you are making your decision with accurate information.
A staged approach exists partly to manage risk. Look at each of these phases as a chance to check that the plan is still appropriate for you.
Request your visitYour restorative and surgical plans need to agree before placement. Imaging and records provide the basis for this.
The implant is inserted during surgery in the position worked out earlier, along with grafting if your plan specifies it.
While the bone heals against the implant, the area is protected and followed, because timing cannot be set in advance.
After the abutment and restoration go in, we assess your bite and hygiene access, and maintenance visits carry on from there.
A thoughtful list of questions is welcome here. The more specifically you ask about risks, alternatives and maintenance, the more useful the conversation tends to be.
It is sensible to ask for an estimate covering each phase and to find out how future repairs or part replacement might be handled. Coverage is determined by your plan.
A first look at our clinic on McPhillips Street.
For some people, peace of mind comes from knowing exactly what they are getting into. Ask anything you like, including questions you worry may sound blunt or skeptical.
We would rather you hear about possible complications before treatment than be surprised by them afterward.
Find out what placement involves and how comfort is approached, if that is one of the things you are still weighing.
Set the implant next to other tooth replacements, thinking about your goals as well as your tolerance for risk.
The part that never ends
A cavity won’t form in the implant, but that shouldn’t lull anyone into neglecting it. Gums and bone respond to plaque around an implant, and ignored inflammation can undermine its support.
Any component could eventually need maintenance or replacing. Asking about this early helps set accurate expectations for the long term.
Daily cleaning and managing issues such as smoking remain worthwhile long after your restoration has been completed.
Report drainage, swelling, bleeding, a stubborn bad taste, bite changes, or trouble cleaning beneath your restoration.
When a symptom seems pressing, a call to (204) 338-3003 is the right move, not a web form.

We cannot say that it will, as no lifespan is assured. Your implant, abutment and restoration may each have their own maintenance or replacement needs over the years.
Watch for bleeding, swelling, drainage, an ongoing bad taste, a restoration that moves, or bite changes and pressure discomfort. Contact the clinic if you notice any of them.
Because the tissue around it can still become diseased. Plaque can inflame the gums and contribute to bone loss, and that bone is what holds your implant in place.
Healing is one of the variables that cannot be fully predicted. Ask us how this situation would be handled, and what options might follow, as part of reviewing the risks before treatment.
Every form of tooth replacement requires some ongoing care, though the demands differ. A bridge or denture can be compared with an implant during your assessment.
These pages cover both the routine care that protects an implant and a restoration you may want to understand more fully.
