Dental Implants in Winnipeg: Long-Term Solutions for Missing Teeth

At Winnipeg Orofacial Health Centre, we offer comprehensive surgical dental implant treatments to restore missing teeth with precision, function, and natural aesthetics. Whether you're missing a single tooth or require full-arch rehabilitation, dental implants provide a permanent, stable, and biologically sound solution.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small, biocompatible titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as an artificial root. Over time, the bone fuses to the implant (osseointegration), allowing us to securely attach a custom crown, bridge, or denture. The result? A restoration that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement. They don’t just restore appearance—they support your oral health and jaw structure. Benefits include:

  • Replacing one or more missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth
  • Preventing bite collapse, drifting teeth, and jawbone loss
  • Enhancing speech clarity and chewing efficiency
  • Eliminating the discomfort of loose dentures or partials
  • Preserving facial contour and helping prevent the appearance of premature aging

Our Dental Implant Process

We offer full-scope implant services, from initial planning to surgical placement and postoperative care:

1

Consultation & Digital Planning

Using advanced 3D imaging and CBCT scans, we assess your bone structure and develop a personalized treatment plan. Bone grafting may be recommended if there is significant resorption.

2

Surgical Placement

The implant is placed precisely under local anesthesia, with optional sedation for comfort. Our surgical protocols ensure the procedure is performed safely and predictably.

3

Healing & Osseointegration

Over the next few months, the implant integrates with your jawbone—creating a strong foundation for your final restoration.

4

Final Restoration

Once healing is complete, a custom prosthetic crown, bridge, or denture (provided by your restorative dentist or denturist) is attached for optimal aesthetics and function.

Types of Implant Solutions We Offer

Single-Tooth Implants

Replace a single missing tooth without affecting adjacent teeth.

Implant-Supported Bridges

Restore multiple adjacent teeth using two or more implants to support a fixed bridge.

Full-Arch Options

Fixed or removable solutions for restoring the entire upper or lower arch.

We work closely with your general dentist or prosthodontist to coordinate seamless prosthetic restoration.

Is the Procedure Painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort, often comparing it to a standard tooth extraction. Postoperative care instructions and appropriate medications support a smooth recovery. Our team is always available during the healing phase.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

During your initial consultation, our oral surgeon will assess your oral health, medical history, and goals. A comprehensive clinical exam and detailed imaging—often including 3D CBCT—allow us to evaluate the bone quality and volume necessary to support implants.

If needed, we may recommend bone or soft-tissue grafting to ensure a stable, predictable outcome. Every treatment plan is customized for long-term success and safety.

What Types of Implant Restorations Are Available?

We offer a full range of solutions designed to restore form, function, and aesthetics:

Single-Tooth Implants

Ideal for replacing one missing tooth with a custom crown anchored to its own implant.

Implant-Supported Bridges

Replace multiple missing teeth using two or more implants to support a fixed bridge.

Full-Arch Solutions (Fixed or Removable)

Restore all teeth in an upper or lower arch using multiple implants.

We’ll guide you through options and collaborate with your restorative dentist to meet your expectations.

Do Dental Implants Need Special Care?

Dental implants are low-maintenance, but like natural teeth, they require daily oral hygiene and regular professional checkups. We’ll provide clear instructions on brushing, flossing, and maintaining implant health. With proper care and routine follow-ups, your implants can serve you well for decades.

What Kind of Anesthesia Is Used for Dental Implant Surgery?

Your comfort and safety are top priorities. We tailor anesthesia and sedation to your needs:

  • Local Anesthesia
  • IV Sedation (Moderate or Deep)

We will review options during your consultation to help you choose the level of comfort that’s right for you.
