When can I go back to heavy lifting after implant surgery?+
No general answer applies, because it depends on your procedure and your recovery. Describe your work to the dentist and ask for advice that fits your own plan.
Would a job with lots of dust affect healing?+
Ask about this at planning, and be specific about what you’re exposed to. The dentist can tell you what, if anything, your work means for caring for the site.
What if I get hit in the mouth at work after treatment?+
Tell the clinic by phone how the injury came about. Movement, a change in your bite or discomfort under pressure are all things the clinic will want to hear about.
Do my work hours rule out an implant?+
Hours aren’t a clinical barrier, but a realistic commitment to healing, hygiene and follow-up is part of being a candidate. Think about how those would fit into your life.
Can I chew a normal packed lunch while I heal?+
Your own instructions decide this, since they depend on the site and the procedure. Ask before surgery so that you can plan your meals for the workday.
How do Rosser residents get an implant assessment started?+
Send the form or phone (204) 338-3003 to ask for a visit. It would take place at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, where you can ask how to plan your time.
