Do I need all of these treatments?+
Almost certainly not. Reconstruction draws on several areas of dentistry, but the mix is chosen for each individual. Having one does not mean every item on this page is required.
Why does gum treatment come before crowns or implants?+
Restorations need a healthy foundation that can be maintained. Controlling gum disease first gives final work a better base, and gum findings can change what is suitable afterward.
Can I have a root canal and a crown as part of the same plan?+
Yes, those are commonly related. A crown may be used to rebuild a weakened tooth, and where it comes in the order depends on the tooth and on your overall plan.
Is it possible to mix implants, bridges and dentures?+
A plan may use more than one replacement method where that fits the spaces, the bite and your preferences. The dentist can explain which combinations might suit you after your assessment.
If one treatment changes, does everything else change too?+
It may. Treatments often rely on each other, so ask how a change would ripple through the remaining phases. Plans can also shift as teeth, gums and bite respond.
Can a Kildonan Park resident ask about just one part of the plan?+
Of course. Call (204) 338-3003 or write through the form below with your question. Treatment is provided at our McPhillips Street clinic, and staff will reply to you.
