Will my restorations last the rest of my life?+
Nobody can promise that. Restorations can wear or need attention over time, and how they do depends on your bite, your gums and your upkeep. Ask what to expect from each option.
How often will I need to come back after treatment?+
There is no single answer. The schedule depends on your gums, your restorations and your home care, so ask the clinic once your treatment is mapped out.
Are implants lower maintenance than natural teeth?+
They still require care. The tissue around implants needs to be kept healthy through hygiene visits and home cleaning, and implants are monitored as well.
Is a night guard part of every plan?+
Not always. It is one possible element of maintenance, and it is mainly a question of how your bite and wear look. Ask whether it applies to you.
What happens if I am no longer able to clean as well as I used to?+
Tell the clinic. Different tools or techniques might help, and it is a fair question to raise when you are comparing options at the start.
As an Old Kildonan resident, can I ask about upkeep before booking?+
Certainly. Phone (204) 338-3003 with your questions. If you then decide on an assessment, it is carried out at our McPhillips Street clinic in Winnipeg.
