A crown, bridge or implant depends on healthy tissue and bone around it. St. Vital residents weighing restorative work can ask for a periodontal assessment at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street, so any active gum disease is identified before that work is planned.
Let's find a time
Crowns and bridges sit on natural teeth, and those teeth are held by gum attachment and bone. An implant also relies on the bone and soft tissue that surround it. If inflammation is active in that support, it makes sense to know before committing to new work.
Gingivitis affects only the gum and can often settle with good plaque control and professional cleaning. Periodontitis involves lost attachment or bone and needs more deliberate treatment. A full set of measurements and images shows which situation applies and which teeth, if any, need attention first.
Explore gum disease treatment
Gum attachment and bone around key teeth are measured before new work is designed.
Where inflammation is found, it can be addressed so restorations begin on calmer tissue.
Knowing your gum risk helps everyone think about how new work will be kept clean.
The order matters. Bringing gum inflammation under control usually comes before permanent dental work, though the exact sequence depends on your findings.
These steps address disease in the supporting tissues.
Once the gums are assessed, these become easier to answer.
Suitability for any crown, bridge or implant is decided at assessment. Gum findings are one important part of that decision, not the whole of it.
Even if only one tooth is planned for work, disease elsewhere can affect the overall plan, so the whole mouth is examined.
Request your visitLet us know which tooth or gap you hope to restore. Your health history, medicines, tobacco habits and whether gum disease runs in your family are covered too.
Several points per tooth are probed for pocket depth, bleeding, gum recession and lost attachment.
Images, tooth mobility, how your teeth close together and visible deposits indicate support and trouble spots for cleaning.
You hear how your gum health bears on the restorative work and what treatment, if any, would come first.
If a crown, bridge or implant has been suggested elsewhere, knowing the details helps the gum assessment focus on the teeth that matter most to that plan.
Wondering about time in the chair or fees? Raise it when the clinic reaches you. Whether a plan pays for any of it is for your insurer to say.
A treatment chair in pale blue vinyl, a hand-wash sink behind it.
It can feel like a delay when you are eager for new teeth. In practice, treating active gum disease first gives restorative work a sounder base.
You can ask how gum treatment might fit into the timeline for your restoration.
Images of the bone around the planned tooth can be shown and explained.
Tell us which result matters most to you so trade-offs can be discussed.
Before and after the new work
Gum care does not end once a crown or implant is placed. Regular periodontal maintenance helps keep the tissue around natural teeth and restorations healthy.
Readings after gum treatment show whether the tissue is ready for the next stage.
Recall spacing reflects what your gums have been through, how settled they are now and the risks you carry, with restorations counted in.
Once restorations are in, your home routine may need new tools to reach their edges.
If a tooth planned for restoration becomes loose, swollen or painful in the meantime, call the clinic.

Helpful details about gum disease treatment in St. Vital.
Ask our teamA crown relies on the tooth underneath, which relies on healthy attachment and bone. Finding active disease first helps the restoration start on a stable base.
A history of gum disease does not rule it out automatically, but active disease and bone levels are important. Suitability is decided after assessment.
It may change the order of care. How long depends on what is found and how the tissue responds, which reassessment shows.
Dental work can make some areas harder to clean, and plaque left there can inflame the gums. Good access and regular maintenance help manage that.
That is something the assessment will look at closely. Options depend on how much support remains, and some situations call for more advanced care or referral.
