Before you say yes to extensive dental work, you may want to know what comes after. For Old Kildonan residents, this page starts at the end: daily care, reviews and upkeep.
Let's find a time
Maintenance is the last phase of any reconstruction, and it never quite ends. Hygiene care, bite review, home cleaning tools and possibly a night guard all contribute to protecting what has been done. Because each option comes with its own needs, upkeep belongs in the discussion when you are choosing, and not just afterward.
The plan itself coordinates treatments for damage, missing teeth, bite concerns or disease, phase by phase. Old Kildonan is in Winnipeg, and residents are assessed and treated at our McPhillips Street clinic. Asking what you will be responsible for is a fine place to begin.

Implants, bridges, crowns and dentures do not all need the same attention, so ask about the differences.
Restorations share the mouth with bite forces and bacteria, which is why they call for continuing care.
Knowing what you would do at home helps you judge whether an option suits your routine.
A plan may blend natural teeth with several kinds of restorations, and each kind has its own demands. Here is what to ask about for each group. The specifics will depend on what ends up in your mouth.
Fixed work stays in place, but it still needs thorough cleaning, particularly where it meets the gum.
Anything that comes out needs its own routine, and the teeth that remain still have needs of their own.
Ask the dentist or hygienist for instructions tied to your own restorations. General advice may not fit the particular mix you have.
Upkeep is not an afterthought tacked on to the plan. It is worth raising at each point on the way through, so the routine does not come as a surprise at the end.
Request your visitBe honest about your dexterity, your schedule and how you feel about daily routines, as all of these may affect which options suit you.
Gum treatment and decay control create conditions meant to be maintained, so this phase is a good time to work on your home care.
For fixed and removable choices alike, ask what looking after each one would involve over the years ahead.
Definitive work then gives way to the maintain phase, which involves hygiene, review and care of any appliance.
Nobody needs to claim perfect brushing. A truthful account of what you do now, and what you find difficult, shows where you might need more help keeping restorations clean.
If you have trouble with your hands or eyesight, mention that. Ask whether any cleaning aids could make your routine easier.
A blue bench in the waiting area, and a light blue dental chair.
Cleaning under a bridge or removing a denture may be completely new to you, and a demonstration can make things seem less daunting. Ask to be shown, then ask again if it did not stick.
Seeing a cleaning method in your own mouth can be more helpful than hearing it described.
If a technique is too awkward, say so, as there may be another way of getting the same job done.
What is easy now may become harder later. Your routine can be discussed again when that happens.
Year after year
How often you return and what is checked depends on your own teeth, gums and restorations. Consider these the main threads of long-term care.
A hygienist can reach areas you cannot, including around implants and the margins of restored teeth.
Natural teeth, implants and restorations are all worth checking, so small concerns can be found while options remain open.
If you have a night guard or denture, bring it with you, and ask to have it looked at.
If something feels different about your restoration, a call to the clinic is worthwhile.

Helpful details about full-mouth reconstruction in Old Kildonan.
Ask our teamNobody 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Having a better sense of the treatment itself makes it easier to imagine the upkeep. Your assessment determines which of these might apply.
