I live in West Kildonan. Can I just come in and talk about it?+
Yes, you can request a consultation at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg, through this page or by calling (204) 338-3003. An assessment is the opening step, and treatment isn’t decided at the door.
Will implant surgery hurt?+
People differ, so no one can tell you exactly how it will feel for you. Ask how numbing is handled, what you may sense during placement, and what discomfort might follow, so you can judge with real details.
Can I be sedated for the procedure?+
That is a question for your consultation. Suitability would depend on your health and treatment plan, so raise it directly and find out what could apply in your case.
What if I back out after the assessment?+
The assessment exists to help you decide, and deciding against treatment is your right. You can ask about other tooth replacements or simply take more time to think.
Is the risk of surgery worth it for one tooth?+
Only you can weigh that, with accurate information about your own mouth. Risks and alternatives should be reviewed before any treatment, and a single crown is just one of the ways to fill a space.
Are there ways to replace a tooth without surgery?+
Yes. Bridges and removable dentures don’t need an implant placed, although each brings its own trade-offs. An examination can show which of them would suit your situation.
