If you have heard a tooth may not be saved, you can start thinking about what comes after it. Asking about replacement ahead of time gives you more to go on.
Let's find a time
Most people only start to research bridges once the gap already exists. If you still have the tooth, you have a chance to ask how the eventual space could be handled and how the removal itself might relate to those options.
A bridge is only one possibility, and it may or may not suit you. Brooklands is in Winnipeg, and residents wondering what lies ahead can request an assessment of the failing tooth and its neighbours at our McPhillips Street clinic.
Explore dental bridges
A clear explanation of why removal is being considered is a good place to begin the conversation.
Teeth on either side are examined too, as they could become part of a future plan.
Bridges, implants and removable replacements each have their own timing and requirements.
These questions are connected without being the same question. Your dentist can help you consider them in a sensible order.
Removal is a major step, so understanding the reason for it can make everything that follows easier to think through.
Once you know the tooth is likely going, your attention can turn to the replacements that might be appropriate for your mouth.
Pain, swelling or anything that feels urgent changes the priorities. Please call the clinic about those symptoms instead of using the form on this page.
Timing varies from one person to the next, and your dentist decides on it based on your mouth. This outline shows the broad order of things.
Request your visitYour dentist examines the affected tooth, its neighbours, gums and bite, and discusses what removal could mean for your replacement options.
If an extraction is carried out, the area needs time before a final restoration is made. Ask how this applies to your own situation.
Natural anchors are shaped for crowns as planned, and scans or impressions, bite details and shade information are taken. A temporary may be used.
Bite, margins, contacts and looks are reviewed along with cleaning access. After any needed adjustments, your bridge is attached.
It can be difficult to absorb news about losing a tooth. Noting what you remember, and what you still do not understand, helps you make the most of your next conversation.
Asking for estimates for each option you are considering can help you compare them. Coverage depends on your plan, so bring your details.

You may feel upset, or even relieved, if the tooth has been causing trouble. Either reaction is fair, and you are welcome to talk about what is on your mind.
If you are worried about having a visible gap, bring that up early on so it can be planned around.
Tell your dentist if the idea of an extraction worries you, so you can discuss your comfort needs.
You do not have to settle everything at once. Ask which decision needs to come first.
Once the bridge is in
A tooth lost is a good reminder to protect the ones around it. Regular visits and thorough cleaning help you look after the anchors and the rest of your mouth.
Joined bridge units do not let ordinary floss through. Our team will demonstrate super floss or another suitable tool for yours.
If decay, gum problems or a crack played a role, ask how those same concerns may apply to neighbouring teeth.
A change in fit, swollen gums or food catching under the bridge should be reported so it can be looked at.
No fixed lifespan can be promised for a bridge, as it depends on support, bite, gum health, maintenance and more.

Ask our teamIt can be helpful to discuss it beforehand if your situation allows. Your dentist can explain whether planning can happen first, or whether the tooth needs attention sooner.
Ask your dentist to explain the findings and any treatment that might be possible. That depends on the cause, the damage and what remains of the tooth.
That depends on your plan and which options are appropriate. If a visible space is a concern, raise it before the removal so it can be discussed.
Yes, an assessment can include them. Their gums, roots, alignment and restorations all help show whether a tooth-supported bridge could be reasonable later.
That is your decision, made with information about your bite, your spacing and how you use the area. Ask what could change if the space were left as it is.
