The space you stopped noticing
Restorative & Prosthodontics for West Kildonan Residents
A tooth came out years ago and you simply learned to chew around it. It is never too late to ask what that old space means for the teeth still working beside it.

A gap with some history
Getting used to it is not the same as it being fine.
Plenty of people adapt to a missing back tooth so completely that they forget about it. If you live in West Kildonan, in Winnipeg, and that sounds familiar, you may have wondered whether it is too late to do anything, or whether anything needs doing at all. Both are fair questions, and the honest answer depends on your mouth.
Spaces can alter how you chew and how much support your remaining teeth receive. Over the years, neighbouring or opposing teeth may also tilt or shift, which can affect what fits there now. Not every old gap has to be filled. At our McPhillips Street clinic, an examination can show whether yours is causing trouble and which replacements remain realistic.

Look at the neighbours
Teeth on either side of an older space, and those above or below it, are reviewed for any movement or added wear.
Room may have changed
A replacement needs enough space for a useful tooth, so past shifting can influence which designs are practical today.
Leaving it is an option too
Depending on position, bite and your priorities, the recommendation could be to watch the area rather than treat it.
If replacement makes sense
Ways West Kildonan patients can close an old space
Implants, bridges and dentures are the main routes for a long-standing gap. Crowns may come into it if a neighbouring tooth also needs rebuilding.

Revisiting an old decision
What gets checked after all this time.
Knowing roughly when the tooth came out, and why, gives the conversation a useful starting point.
Request your visit- 01
Recall how you lost it
Decay, a fracture and gum problems can each say something different about the area. Mention what you remember, along with anything you avoid chewing now.
- 02
Measure what is there today
Your dentist looks at the gums, the bite and the health of the surrounding teeth. Imaging helps show bone, particularly if an implant is being considered.
- 03
Decide whether to act
You hear what could be done, what could be left alone, and what each choice is likely to involve in visits, upkeep and cost.

Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about restorative & prosthodontics in West Kildonan.
Ask our teamHas too much time passed to replace a tooth I lost long ago?
Time alone does not rule anything out. What counts is the current state of the bone, gums, bite and adjoining teeth, which an assessment can establish.
Why would an old gap matter if it never hurts?
A space can be silent and still change how forces travel through your bite. Sometimes nothing needs doing, but that is worth confirming with a proper look.
My teeth have tilted into the space. Does that rule out a replacement?
Not automatically, although less room may narrow the choices. Moving selected teeth with orthodontic planning is occasionally part of the discussion when position affects restorative space.
Is bone loss a concern with a long-standing gap?
Jaw and gum tissues keep changing after a tooth is lost. Imaging shows whether enough bone remains for a planned implant, and only that review can answer the graft question.
Which is simpler for an old space, a bridge or a partial denture?
They differ more than simple or complicated suggests. A bridge stays fixed and relies on suitable anchors, whereas a partial comes out and can replace teeth in several spots with one appliance.
How should someone from West Kildonan arrange this kind of visit?
Send the request form or phone (204) 338-3003 and mention the missing tooth. Staff will get back to you about a time at our McPhillips Street clinic.
