Years away from the dentist, and now a gap you would like to deal with? You may have more than one concern on your mind. That is a normal place to begin.
Let's find a time
When it has been a long time since your last visit, a bridge may not be the very first thing on the list. A bridge needs sound teeth and gums beneath it, so your dentist will want a full picture of your oral health before talking about replacement designs.
For patients living in North End Winnipeg, this picture is put together at our clinic on McPhillips Street. Nobody needs a tidy history to come in. Bring what you remember, and the rest can be worked out from an examination.
Explore dental bridges
Time away from dental care is common, and your history simply helps with today’s planning.
Teeth and gums that hold a bridge may need attention before a bridge can be planned.
Ask your dentist which concerns come first, and which ones can follow afterward.
A complete assessment often helps sort your concerns into what needs prompt attention and what can be planned around it.
Your dentist begins by examining your whole mouth instead of focusing narrowly on the gap you came in about.
Once the foundation is understood, the replacement options can be compared against what your mouth can support.
Your treatment order depends on your findings. Asking what can wait and what should not may be the most useful question you bring.
Your actual route depends on your exam findings. This is the general order of things if a bridge is suitable.
Request your visitWe review your medications, your past dental care and what has been bothering you, along with the time since your last visit.
Your dentist explains the findings, including any problems that should be handled before bridge planning goes further.
When the foundation is ready, supports are prepared or assessed. Scans or impressions, bite records and shade details follow, and a temporary may be fitted.
A careful review of margins, contacts, your bite and cleaning access comes before the bridge is finally secured.
You do not need to brush up on anything or apologize for the time that has passed. If you can’t remember your last dental visit, an estimate is fine.
If you previously saw another clinic and would like your records, ask how a transfer would work. Ask also about estimated costs once your needs are clearer.

Coming back after years can feel like a big step. Tell us what kept you away if you want to, whether it was worry, cost or simply life getting in the way.
It can be a lot to hear at once, so have your dentist go over the findings again if you need.
Long-standing sensitive areas deserve a mention, even if you have grown accustomed to them.
Ask how care could be divided if a long list of treatment feels like too much at once.
Staying in the habit
Getting back into routine care is part of what protects a bridge. Natural teeth at its margins remain vulnerable to decay, and problems are easier to catch when someone is looking.
Because regular floss cannot slip between joined teeth, ask us to demonstrate a threader, an interdental brush or a water flosser.
Regular examinations help keep small changes from going unnoticed. Your dentist can recommend how often you should return.
Food trapping, bleeding or a shift in how the bridge feels is reason enough to phone, even years after treatment.
Pain or swelling that feels urgent should prompt a phone call to the clinic, not a form request.

Helpful details about dental bridges in North End Winnipeg.
Ask our teamBegin by requesting a visit and mentioning that it has been some time. An examination comes first, and your dentist will use it to explain what your mouth needs.
Often the teeth and gums around a bridge need to be healthy first. Your dentist will explain whether anything should be treated beforehand, and why.
There is no way to know without looking, and some problems cause no symptoms. Finding out gives you real information to plan around, whatever the result.
X-rays are recommended when clinically appropriate, and a long absence can be one reason to consider them. Ask what they would show and why they are suggested.
Say so. Your dentist can tell you what is most pressing and which steps could reasonably be scheduled later, based on your examination.
