Can a St. Vital resident have their whole mouth assessed for implants?+
Yes. Request a visit on this page or call (204) 338-3003, and mention that several teeth are missing. A dentist at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg would carry out that full review.
If gum disease cost me teeth, can I still have implants?+
Possibly, though gum health needs to be assessed first. Inflamed or unstable gums can affect implants, so controlling gum disease is usually part of the conversation.
Do I need an implant for every tooth I’ve lost?+
Not necessarily. Several missing teeth may be replaced with a bridge or denture supported by fewer implants, depending on the bone and the design.
Can my existing partial denture stay while we plan?+
Ask about that at the assessment. Whether and how it can be worn during treatment depends on the plan and how healing progresses.
Can the work be spread out over time?+
Plans for several gaps are often staged. Ask which areas would make sense to address first and how the rest could follow.
Will implants stop me losing more teeth?+
Implants replace teeth that are gone; they don’t protect the others on their own. Caring for your remaining teeth and gums remains important.
