Being told an implant wasn’t suitable can feel final, but circumstances can shift with time. Shaughnessy Park residents can ask for a current assessment at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
An earlier no usually reflected a particular moment: the gum health, medical conditions, bone or general circumstances you had back then. Some of those can change for the better, while others stay the same or call for a different plan entirely.
This page can’t tell you the old answer was wrong, and it may well still stand. What a Shaughnessy Park resident can do is find out where things are today. An up-to-date examination and imaging at our Winnipeg clinic gives you a current answer, whichever way it falls.

An assessment describes your mouth and your health at that time, so it is fair to ask whether it still applies.
Understanding why you were declined tells you which part of the picture needs looking at this time.
A fresh look may reach the same conclusion, and there are other ways to replace teeth if it does.
There are many possible reasons for an implant to be declined or delayed. Here is how some of them tend to be looked at again, keeping in mind that yours may be different.
Certain barriers concern conditions that could improve or be treated, after which a dentist can reconsider whether placement makes sense.
Some findings point less to whether an implant is possible and more to how the treatment might need to be designed.
Certain medical, medication or anatomical factors may continue to weigh against implants, and hearing this clearly is useful in itself.
A no from another dentist usually had good reasoning behind it. Share it openly, because that history helps guide what gets looked at now.
Treat this as an overview only. Your own visit will depend on how long ago you were assessed and on what the reason was.
Request your visitShare who assessed you, roughly when, and any reason you remember. Partial memories are still worth mentioning.
Go through conditions and medications as they stand today, including anything that has started or stopped since then.
Gums, bite and space are checked again, and current imaging can help the dentist assess your bone and anatomy.
Whether the answer is yes, not yet or no, ask what it rests on and what your other options would be.
Knowing the reason behind the old answer can make this appointment far more focused. Try recalling or tracking down what you can, but don’t put off a visit if you can’t find everything.
If you can’t remember the reason, ask whether your earlier office might share your records. It is a question to raise with them and with our clinic.
A consultation room and the clinic’s reception.
A previous no may have been a real disappointment, and you may fear hearing it twice. Going in with open expectations can make the visit easier, since either answer gives you something to act upon.
Mention that the last conversation was discouraging, so the clinician knows where you are coming from.
Press gently for the reasoning behind any answer you get, so you aren’t left guessing all over again.
New information can take time to digest, and you needn’t respond to it before you have left the room.
After the answer
A reassessment leads somewhere useful whatever it concludes. Your next step might be planning, treating something first, or comparing other ways to replace what is missing.
Records and imaging lead into planning the final tooth, with risks and alternatives still open for discussion.
Find out exactly what would need to improve, and ask when reassessing would make sense for you.
A bridge or denture may suit you instead, so request an explanation of how each might work for your mouth.
Pain, swelling or anything else that feels urgent is a matter for a call to (204) 338-3003, rather than the form.

That dentist may have been entirely right for good reasons. It is still reasonable to ask whether anything has changed since, particularly if some time has gone by.
Limited bone, unhealthy gums, infection, certain medications, smoking, ongoing growth and tight space can each influence an answer, sometimes in combination with one another.
Not always. A graft is sometimes part of a plan, but only an assessment and imaging can say whether your bone is adequate or whether grafting could apply in your case.
Then you would talk about replacements that don’t rely on an implant. Bridges and dentures are designed differently, and each has its own suitability to consider.
These pages cover bridges and removable dentures, plus gum disease treatment if your gums were part of the earlier decision.
