Missing a tooth and hearing the word implant for the first time? Patients from across Winnipeg can begin with a clear explanation at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Let's find a time
Many people picture an implant as a false tooth screwed into the jaw. It helps to separate those ideas. The implant itself sits in the bone and stands in for the lost root, while the tooth you see is a separate piece made to attach to it.
If you live anywhere in Winnipeg and a gap has you weighing your options, this page is a starting point rather than a sales pitch. Whether an implant suits you can only be settled by an examination, and a crown, bridge or denture may each play a part in the answer.

The foundation goes in the jaw, and the visible restoration is designed separately to fit your gums and bite.
Imaging and an exam show what your bone, gums and overall health allow before anything is decided.
Expect distinct stages over months, because bone needs its own time to heal around the implant.
Two questions tend to come first for someone new to all this: what is being placed, and what could it hold? Here is each one answered in turn.
Think of the replacement as a stack, with each level doing a different job once healing is complete.
A lone gap is a common reason to ask, though implants have other uses too, and tooth count does not always match implant count.
Which of these fits, if any, comes down to your available support and the restorative design. Other ways of replacing a tooth deserve a fair look as well.
Biology sets much of the pace here, so the calendar varies from one person to the next. The sequence itself is more predictable.
Request your visitRecords and imaging come before surgery, so the implant can be positioned to suit the tooth it will eventually carry.
The implant goes into the jaw during a surgical appointment. If your plan calls for grafting, that is included at this stage.
Bone gradually heals around the implant over this period. We protect the site and check on how it is coming along.
Your abutment and restoration are fitted, and we then review your bite and set up hygiene visits for the long term.
Coming in with only a vague idea of what an implant involves is perfectly fine. Describing how the gap affects your eating, your confidence or your plans gives us plenty to work with.
When you book, feel free to ask what a first appointment includes and how to get an estimate for the phases you may need.
Two views of where implant conversations begin.
The word surgical gives many people pause. Saying so early means we can walk you through what happens at each stage and talk over what would make it easier.
Would seeing the model or your scan help? Say the word and we can go through either before you decide.
Put your questions about placement day to us directly, including what you may feel during the appointment and afterward.
An implant is a considered decision, so take the time you need to weigh the risks and alternatives we review.
Life with an implant
The implant itself cannot get a cavity. The gums and bone holding it are living tissue, though, and plaque can inflame them and contribute to bone loss.
Your home routine carries real weight around an implant. We can show you how to reach the areas around your particular restoration.
Regular hygiene and bite reviews give us the chance to catch changes while they are still small.
Let us know about bleeding, swelling, drainage, a lingering bad taste, a loose component, or pressure that hurts.

They are two different components. The implant sits in the bone beneath the gum, whereas a crown is the tooth-shaped restoration you see. An abutment joins them.
Often the plan for a suitable single-tooth space is one implant with one crown. With several missing teeth the numbers may not match, because support and design shape the configuration.
No single figure applies to everyone. Planning, surgery, integration and restoration occur in phases that can stretch across months, and healing changes or grafting can add time.
Nobody can promise that. Infection, smoking, general health, bite forces, implant position and upkeep can all influence the result, which is why risks and alternatives are reviewed beforehand.
A figure depends on what your assessment shows and which phases and restoration your plan involves. Ask us for an estimate, and check with your insurer, since coverage varies by plan.
