Many adults who lose a tooth don’t plan on giving up their sport. If you live in Stonewall and play something where a stray elbow is part of the deal, here’s what to raise when you’re considering implant care in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
An active lifestyle isn’t something implant planning tends to dwell on, unless you bring it up. Yet the area needs protecting while bone heals around the implant, and that’s a very different proposition if you take regular knocks to the face than if you don’t.
No general article can tell you when to return to your league. Bring up your sport at your assessment at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, and ask how it would affect your timing and what protection you’d need.

Your playing schedule may affect when you’d want surgery, so ask about it during planning.
Find out what would protect the healing area, and later the finished restoration, if you’re playing.
A blow to the mouth is something the clinic should hear about, even if it seems minor at the time.
Being active doesn’t change how an implant is assessed, but it does give you several useful things to discuss with the dentist while you’re planning.
Since your dentist can only advise based on your plan, bring these up along with the details of what you play.
Being fit doesn’t exempt anyone from the usual criteria, which depend on your mouth and overall health.
If your tooth was lost to an injury, tell the dentist what happened, since damage to the area may be part of what’s assessed.
You’d be travelling into Winnipeg for treatment, with time for healing built in. Raise how many visits are involved and how long they take, then compare that with your season.
Request your visitYour records and imaging decide where the final tooth belongs, and the plan is built around that position.
A surgical appointment sets the implant into the jaw, along with any graft your plan includes.
While the bone integrates with the implant, the site should be shielded and kept under observation.
After healing, an abutment and restoration are fitted, and your bite and hygiene are reviewed from then on.
It may be tempting to squeeze treatment in between commitments. Instead, talk it through ahead of time, so you can make informed choices about which dates suit you.
Ask directly what activities you should avoid, and for how long, based on your own procedure. Other people’s experiences can’t answer that for you.
A reclined chair in a treatment room, and two white chairs in the waiting room.
Your sport may be how you stay fit and see your friends, so it’s reasonable for it to feature in your decision. Say what matters to you, and ask what each option would mean for it.
Healing can’t be hurried for a playoff run, so ask what happens when your schedule and biology disagree.
If you’re weighing up implants against something removable, ask how each would suit your sport.
If you returned to play earlier than advised, or took a hit, say so without embarrassment.
Back in action
Decay isn’t a threat to the implant itself, but the gum and bone around it remain at risk. Plaque can bring on inflammation and contribute to losing supporting bone, so your cleaning routine and professional visits should carry on through every season.
Phone the clinic if a crown shifts, if your bite feels off or if pressure causes discomfort.
If you wear a mouthguard, ask whether it still fits properly around your new crown.
Tournament weekends can disrupt routines, so keep whatever cleaning tools you’ve been told to use in your bag.
A dental injury shouldn’t go through the request form. Call (204) 338-3003 and explain what occurred.

Helpful details about dental implants in Stonewall.
Ask our teamThere’s no one-size answer, as it depends on your procedure and sport. Let the dentist know what you play, and get advice specific to your plan.
It’s a good thing to ask, especially if you play contact sports. The dentist can talk through what’s appropriate for your mouth and activity.
A hard impact can affect dental work, so phone the clinic if your crown has moved or your bite feels different after a blow.
Ask the dentist to compare this with other tooth replacement options for your situation. Forces are one of the factors known to influence implant success.
Ask about strenuous exercise before surgery, because recovery advice depends on what’s being done. Follow your own instructions rather than general guidance.
Implant assessments take place at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg. To ask for one, send in the form or phone (204) 338-3003.
A sudden dental injury is handled differently from a planned implant. If a damaged tooth must come out, extraction may come first.
