I’m in Weston and have an unfinished implant. How do I start?+
Call (204) 338-3003 or send the form, and explain that your crown or denture was never fitted. Any assessment would be held at 2358 McPhillips Street, Winnipeg.
Can you finish an implant that another office placed?+
Please ask when you call, and share the details you have. Whether it can go ahead depends on your implant, the condition of the site and the parts that are available.
Is it a problem if years have gone by?+
Possibly, though not inevitably. Long gaps can allow gums, bone and neighbouring teeth to change, so the site needs examining before anyone can answer that for you.
What if nobody can identify my implant?+
That can complicate things. Imaging and an examination may offer some information, so mention the problem early and ask about the choices available to you.
Does the implant need to come out if it can’t be restored?+
No answer applies to everyone. The dentist can explain what was found and discuss what could be done, including what might replace the missing tooth instead.
Is it okay to wait a bit longer?+
An assessment can tell you whether anything needs attention soon. Symptoms such as bleeding, swelling or drainage are reasons to get in touch without delay.
