Where in the north end can I ask about an implant after an extraction?+
Our clinic in Winnipeg North is at Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street. Call (204) 338-3003 or fill in the form here, and the clinic will get back to you about a suitable appointment.
Can an implant go in right after a tooth comes out?+
That depends on your site and cannot be answered without an examination. Bone, infection, stability and your restorative plan all affect the timing, so ask about this while your extraction is still being planned.
Do I need a bone graft after having a tooth removed?+
Not automatically. Assessment and imaging reveal whether the existing bone is adequate for the implant and restoration planned, and grafting is added only when that plan requires it.
Does an implant affect the teeth on either side of the gap?+
An implant stands on its own foundation, which can preserve neighbouring teeth when appropriate. We can compare that with how a bridge or partial denture would work in your mouth.
What if my tooth came out years ago?+
You can still ask for an assessment. Time since the extraction is one piece of the picture, and imaging helps show the current state of the bone and surrounding anatomy.
