Bleeding, looseness or a sour taste near an existing implant all deserve attention, wherever it was placed. Tyndall Park residents can call our McPhillips Street clinic to ask about having it looked at.
Let's find a time
Most writing about implants assumes you are thinking of getting one. You, however, may have had yours for years, perhaps placed by a dentist you no longer see, and only now find yourself wondering whether something has changed or how it should be cared for.
An implant is not a set-and-forget repair. Its surrounding gums and bone can run into trouble, and its visible parts can loosen or wear. If you live in Tyndall Park and something doesn’t feel right, phone our Winnipeg clinic, describe what you have noticed, and ask about arranging an assessment.

Swelling, drainage, persistent bad taste and bleeding around an implant should not be left to sort themselves out.
An implant cannot decay, yet the tissues holding it can become diseased when plaque stays in place.
A problem could involve the implant, the abutment or the restoration, and each has a separate role.
Problems around an implant tend to come from two broad directions. Only an examination can tell which one applies, and sometimes both do.
Plaque that builds up at the gum line can inflame the soft tissue, and that inflammation may go on to affect supporting bone.
The visible tooth and its connection handle chewing forces every day, and they don’t necessarily age at the same rate.
A symptom on its own rarely points to one cause. Tell the clinic what you have noticed, and let an examination sort out what is behind it.
No two situations are the same, so this is only a general outline. What happens next would depend on what the examination finds.
Request your visitExplain when you first noticed the problem and what makes it better or worse. Mention roughly when the implant was placed.
Your gums, bite and restoration are checked, and imaging may be discussed to give a view of the bone around the implant.
You should come away understanding what appears to be going on. Ask what your options are and what each would involve.
Depending on the cause, your next step might involve hygiene care, attention to a component, or further assessment.
Records from another office can be hard to find, particularly when years have passed. Bring whatever you do have, and don’t let missing paperwork stop you from calling about a concern.
If you know which office placed your implant, it may be possible to request your records from them. Ask about this when you speak to the clinic.
Inside the waiting room at Winnipeg North Dental.
Perhaps no one explained how much care an implant needs, or life simply got in the way. Whatever brought you here, the helpful thing is to describe it honestly and find out what’s going on.
If the area hurts to touch or clean, mention that before anyone starts checking around the implant.
Be frank about how you clean around it and how long it has been since your last hygiene visit.
Feel free to ask for the findings to be explained step by step, so that nothing feels rushed or confusing.
After it’s been looked at
Whatever the finding, an implant benefits from steady attention from now on. Ask how to clean this particular restoration, because a method that works well around natural teeth may not reach everywhere under a crown or bridge.
Request a demonstration if you find it difficult to clean beneath or around your implant’s restoration.
Hygiene appointments and bite reviews should continue as a normal part of owning an implant.
Smoking and general health can influence implant health, so bring up any changes as they happen.
If it feels pressing, please don’t send a form. Call (204) 338-3003 and explain the situation.

You are welcome to phone and ask. Share what you know about the implant, then find out whether the clinic can assess it and which records would help.
Plaque-related inflammation is one possible explanation, but there can be others. Bleeding is a sign to have it looked at, so contact the clinic and don’t simply brush harder.
Many people don’t. Tell the clinic what you remember, and ask whether your earlier office could supply records. An exam and imaging can also provide some information.
Methods vary with the shape and position of your restoration. Ask for instruction on your own bridge, and tell the clinic if you find some areas difficult to reach.
A symptom alone doesn’t tell you that. Causes range widely, from a component issue to tissue disease, so have it examined and ask what your choices would be.
