What should I ask first if I am not sure the effort pays off?+
Start with whether implants could address your particular complaint. If your frustration comes from something else, such as the bite or the shape of the denture, you will want to hear that early.
Can I still choose a regular denture after the assessment?+
Yes, the decision stays with you. A conventional denture relies on your oral tissues for support and needs no implant surgery, and the dentist can explain how it compares in your case.
Do the results make up for the surgery?+
Only you can judge that, and no outcome can be promised. Stability can improve compared with a conventional denture, but chewing still depends on your support, bite and adaptation.
Do I have to decide at my first appointment?+
Treat that visit as a chance to gather information. Mention if you would like time to reflect, and write down what you learn about stages, upkeep and fees so you can review it later.
How should someone from St. Andrews get the conversation started?+
Fill in the request form or dial (204) 338-3003, and mention that you are still weighing the idea. Your appointment would be at 2358 McPhillips Street in Winnipeg once the clinic confirms it.
