Losing a tooth because its support wore away often raises a hard question about the teeth still in place. Whyte Ridge residents in that position can request a periodontal assessment at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street to find out how the remaining teeth are supported and what can help protect them.
Let's find a time
When periodontitis has already cost a tooth, it shows that the disease was able to break down attachment and bone at that site. Other teeth may be affected to a lesser degree, or not at all. The only reliable way to know is to measure each one and look at the bone on appropriate images.
Treatment then aims to control inflammation, slow or halt further loss and keep the remaining teeth stable. Where a gap needs filling, the health of the neighbouring gums and bone also matters for whichever replacement might later be considered.

Support around each tooth is measured so risk is understood across the mouth.
Getting active disease under control comes before talk of replacements.
Maintenance helps protect the progress made once treatment is complete.
After a tooth has been lost to gum disease, care focuses on the sites still at risk. What that involves depends on how much support each tooth retains.
These address disease around the teeth that remain.
Some situations need a closer look at options.
Whether a missing tooth could be replaced with a bridge, implant or denture is decided at assessment. Gum health and bone levels are part of that decision.
This assessment pays close attention to areas around the gap and to any tooth showing signs of movement.
Request your visitTell us about the tooth you lost, when and why, and whether others feel loose. Expect questions about your general health, the pills you take, smoking and relatives who lost teeth.
Gentle probing records pocket depth, bleeding, recession and attachment at every tooth still in place.
Mobility checks, bite review, deposits and suitable images show how much support remains and where cleaning is difficult.
You hear which teeth are stable, which are at risk and what treatment and maintenance would aim to protect them.
Knowing when and why the tooth was removed, and any treatment before that, helps put your current readings in context.
Once the clinic is in touch, feel free to raise how long things take and what they cost. Only your insurer can say what it will pay toward.

It is common to feel discouraged after losing a tooth. The assessment is about understanding where things stand now and what can be done from here.
Your history is information for planning, not a reason for criticism.
Ask which teeth look secure and which need the most attention.
When options exist, their trade-offs can be talked through with you.
Holding the line
Periodontitis is managed over time. Regular recalls help keep inflammation in check and spot early changes around the remaining teeth.
Follow-up probing shows which teeth have responded and which need more care.
Having already lost a tooth is one input; how calm your gums are now and your other risks decide the rest of the spacing.
Areas next to the space may need specific cleaning tools, which can be shown to you.
If another tooth begins to feel loose, the gum swells or you notice a change in your bite, call the clinic.

Ask our teamNot necessarily. Risk varies from tooth to tooth. Measuring each one and treating active disease can help protect the teeth that remain.
Some teeth become steadier once inflammation is controlled, but this depends on how much support is left. The assessment helps judge that.
Active gum disease is usually addressed first. Replacement options are considered once the gums are stable and suitability has been assessed.
Routine treatment focuses on preserving the bone that remains. Regenerative procedures may be possible for certain defects but are not suitable everywhere.
Often, yes. Teeth beside a space can be harder to clean, and specific tools may help. These can be demonstrated at your visit.
