Dental Implants Winnipeg – Restore Your Smile with Confidence
Missing one tooth – or several – can affect how you chew, speak, and smile. Dental implants are a long-lasting way to replace missing teeth with results that look and feel natural for many patients. At Kilcona Dental Centre in Winnipeg’s Transcona neighbourhood, we provide clear guidance from your first visit to your final restoration, coordinating with trusted specialists when needed.Â
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small, biocompatible post (commonly titanium) placed into the jawbone to act as a prosthetic tooth root. After healing, a custom abutment and crown (or bridge/full-arch prosthesis) is attached, restoring appearance and function. Implants can replace a single tooth, several teeth, or an entire arch with a fixed bridge.
Who’s a Candidate?
You may be considered for implants if you have one or more missing teeth, adequate bone volume, healthy gums, and no uncontrolled medical conditions that impair healing. Smoking, poorly controlled diabetes, a history of head/neck radiation, or active gum disease may affect candidacy and healing timelines. Our dentist will review your medical history and may coordinate with a specialist when appropriate.Â
*Claims about faster healing or lower overall cost depend on your case and should be individually discussed.
Step-by-Step: What to Expect
- Consultation & Planning
We review your goals, medical history, and take diagnostic imaging (X-rays as appropriate). You’ll receive a personalized plan outlining the sequence, estimated timeframes, and any preparatory care such as extractions or bone grafting. - Implant Placement
The implant is strategically placed in the jaw. Many patients describe pressure and vibration rather than sharp pain during the procedure. Simple cases are usually completed in a single visit; complex cases may require staged care. - Healing (Osseointegration)
Over the next weeks to months, bone bonds to the implant surface. During this period, you may wear a temporary tooth or modified denture for appearance and function. Our team will check healing and advise on diet (soft foods initially), hygiene, and any activity limits. - Abutment & Restoration
Once stable, a custom abutment and a natural-looking crown or bridge are attached to complete your smile. Final adjustments fine-tune your bite and comfort.Â
