A long-empty space or talk of a bone graft can leave you uncertain. If you live in The Maples, our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg can help explain what your imaging shows.
Let's find a time
Maybe a tooth has been missing for years, or someone mentioned that you could need a graft, and now you are picturing something much bigger than you signed up for. Before assuming the worst, it helps to see what is actually there.
Three-dimensional imaging lets your dentist look at bone volume and surrounding anatomy in relation to the tooth that would be restored. People in The Maples can have that assessment at our Winnipeg clinic. A graft is recommended only if the plan requires one, and the scan alone does not decide everything.
Explore dental implants
Scanning in three dimensions reveals the height, width and neighbouring structures a regular look cannot show.
Bone may already be adequate for the implant and restoration planned, and only an assessment can establish that.
When grafting does form part of the plan, your overall timeline could be longer, so factor that in.
Bone is a major piece of the puzzle, though not the only one. These are the questions that imaging and examination work to resolve together.
We look at whether there is sufficient volume in the correct location to support an implant for your final tooth.
A good scan does not settle candidacy on its own, as your health and your mouth contribute to risk as well.
If bone is limited, your dentist can talk through what that means, whether grafting is advised, and how other tooth replacements compare.
The basic order remains the same whether or not a graft is involved. What can change is how long you wait at certain points along the way.
Request your visitYour scan and records are matched against the planned tooth, so we can tell what the site needs in order to support it.
An implant is inserted surgically. Where your plan requires it, grafting is performed as part of that treatment.
Healing bone joins with the implant at its own rate. During this time, protection and monitoring of the site are the focus.
Next come your abutment and restoration, and then ongoing visits to review your bite and the area’s cleanliness.
Anything that shows how the area has changed over time is potentially useful. If you can recall when the tooth was lost and whether the extraction was difficult, please tell us that as well.
Grafting can affect both timeline and estimate, so ask what would change if it turns out to be needed. Coverage varies between plans.
Room to review your scan and ask questions.
A term like bone graft can sound more alarming than an explanation of it does. Should it come up in your care, ask us to describe what it would involve and why it is being suggested in your case.
Ask us to point out what we are seeing, because an image is easier to understand with someone walking you through it.
Find out why grafting is or is not recommended for you, and what your options would be if you preferred to skip it.
Let us know what worries you about surgery or recovery, so those points are covered before you make a choice.
Looking after the bone you have
All the planning that goes into an implant site can be undermined over time, since plaque-driven inflammation may contribute to lost bone. Regular care is how you help protect what healed.
Consistent cleaning at home is your main contribution. Ask for guidance if your restoration makes certain surfaces tricky to get at.
Maintenance appointments let us look at the tissue, bite and restoration together, and imaging may be used when appropriate.
Persistent bad taste, drainage, bleeding, swelling, a moving component, or pain with pressure are all reasons to contact us.
For a problem you feel can’t wait, use the phone: (204) 338-3003.

Ask our teamRequest an assessment using this page or by calling (204) 338-3003. Your appointment would be at our clinic at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, and imaging is decided once you have been examined.
Not by itself. A gap of many years can be associated with changes in the bone, but only an exam and imaging can show whether the site is workable for your plan.
You would learn that from an assessment with imaging. Neither symptoms nor appearance can determine it, because the question is whether existing bone suits the specific implant and restoration planned.
It may. Treatment already spans months through its phases, and grafting or changes in healing can extend the timeline. Ask how it would alter your own schedule.
Other tooth replacements may be possible, such as a bridge or denture. Your dentist can compare these with an implant, keeping your anatomy and priorities in view.
Depending on what your imaging reveals, these services could help you think about what comes before an implant, or what might replace one.
Learn when a tooth extraction may be needed in Winnipeg, what happens during the visit, how to prepare for recovery and which replacement options may follow.
