A bridge can involve lasting changes to natural teeth, so it is sensible to want answers first. These are questions that can help you understand a recommendation and feel settled about your decision.
Let's find a time
Birds Hill is a community outside the City of Winnipeg, and people from there who see us come in to our McPhillips Street location in Winnipeg. If you like to think things through, consider this a list to bring to the consultation.
A good discussion should tell you why a given design suits your space, what it asks of the teeth around it and what daily care it would require. You are entitled to understand each of those before you agree to anything.

Your dentist can link a recommendation to what was found in your mouth.
Hearing the alternatives gives you something to compare it against.
A replacement you cannot clean well is worth reconsidering early.
Some of what matters concerns how the restoration holds. The rest concerns what it would change in your teeth, your routine and your future appointments.
These get at why support and span have led your dentist to one particular structure over another.
These help you judge what you would be taking on over the long run, beyond fitting day.
Writing the answers down as you go can make them easier to review at home, where you may think of more to ask.
Treatment moves through stages, and the kind of question most worth asking changes with each. Take them up at whichever point they apply to you.
Request your visitYour dentist studies support, alignment, gums, roots and existing fillings or crowns. Ask what stood out and what your alternatives are.
This is your last chance to pause. Make sure you understand any tooth reshaping or implant assessment that comes next.
Scans or impressions, a bite record and a shade match are collected. Raise any preferences about the colour or look at this stage, and ask about a temporary.
Look at the appearance and say how the bite feels while contacts, margins and cleaning access are being reviewed before it is secured.
Your priorities can shape the conversation as much as your X-rays do. Before coming into Winnipeg, jot down what you hope to get from a replacement and what would make you hesitate.
If you need more time after your consultation, say so. A recommendation is yours to consider, and it is reasonable to ask what waiting could change in your mouth.

A long list of questions does not make you a difficult patient. If you find that you freeze when a dentist is explaining things, let us know and ask for it to be repeated or explained another way.
A term that is unclear the first time can be explained in other words.
It is useful to tell us what is making you unsure about the recommendation.
Having them with you means you do not have to hold everything in your head.
Should you choose a bridge
Agreeing to a bridge means agreeing to look after it. Knowing what that looks like ahead of time is part of an informed choice, so consider it as carefully as the design.
Connected units block regular floss. Tools for this job may include a threader, super floss, an interdental brush or a water flosser, and you will be shown what suits your bridge.
Planned examinations help catch trouble in the gums or at the margins of natural anchors, so ask how frequently you should be seen.
If you notice a chip, roughness, looseness or a different bite, call (204) 338-3003 and describe what changed.
Persistent food packing, a lingering bad taste, bleeding or swelling are further signs that should be mentioned.

Ask our teamNothing about the consultation itself requires an answer on the spot. Tell your dentist if you would like time to think, and ask whether a delay could affect your options.
Anchor teeth that have been reshaped are generally not returned to how they were, so ask about this directly before preparation starts.
A tooth-supported bridge calls on neighbouring teeth as anchors, whereas one implant replaces a root and carries its own crown. Your health, anatomy, timing and goals all affect how these compare.
Weak support, a long span, difficulties with cleaning or bite forces may each raise questions. Your dentist can explain whether any of these apply after examining you.
No dentist can promise a result. What you can fairly ask for is a clear explanation of the factors in your case and how each one might affect your bridge.
Use the form or phone (204) 338-3003, and say you would like to talk through your choices. The appointment would be at our Winnipeg clinic, once it has been confirmed with you.
Knowing the basics of implants, removable dentures and crowns will make your questions sharper when you sit down to talk over a bridge.
