For many people, the main frustration of a missing tooth shows up at the table. If you are wondering how a bridge might change the way you eat, these are the things worth understanding and asking about.
Let's find a time
North Kildonan is an area in Winnipeg, and bridge treatment with us takes place at our McPhillips Street clinic. Perhaps you have given up on certain foods, or food now gets stuck where a tooth used to be.
A bridge aims to restore chewing, but how well that works depends on its support, the bite and the shape of the replacement. Your dentist can explain what to expect in your own case and what eating may be like at each stage.
Explore dental bridges
How your teeth meet influences the bridge’s form and material.
An interim bridge protects teeth, so ask what to avoid while wearing one.
If it keeps happening around a bridge, that is worth mentioning.
Each bite sends force through the replacement tooth into whatever is holding it. Planning takes those demands into account, so tell your dentist how you tend to eat.
Several structural factors determine whether a design can cope with what you ask it to do.
Your habits offer information that an examination alone cannot, so bring them up when options are being discussed.
Be candid about what you hope to eat again, and ask whether that seems realistic with the design being suggested.
Your plan sets the number of appointments, and instructions can differ at each. Asking about food before you leave is a simple habit to adopt.
Request your visitYour dentist reviews the teeth next to the space, your gums, your bite and any restorations. This is a good time to talk about your chewing.
Any anchor teeth are prepared, or healed implants are reviewed. Ask how you should eat until you return.
Bite and shade details, plus a scan or impression, inform the final work. If you get a temporary bridge, ask which foods could dislodge or damage it.
The final restoration is checked for bite, contacts, margins, appearance and cleaning access, and then it is attached in place.
You may have adapted so gradually that you barely notice it anymore. Spending a few days watching your habits can give your dentist a much clearer description of the problem.
It helps to bring up any dietary needs or swallowing concerns as part of your health history, along with your medications.

Having food trapped in a gap, or worrying about chewing in front of others, can be embarrassing. Tell us about it plainly, because these everyday problems are what your plan should be addressing.
Whether it is steak, seeds or sandwiches, specifics help your dentist understand you.
When your bridge is tried in, pay attention to how your teeth come together.
Ask what approach makes sense for you, and keep your dentist informed.
After meals, every day
A bridge does not take away the need to clean. Particles and plaque can collect under the replacement tooth, so a good routine after eating helps protect your gums and natural anchors.
Since regular floss is blocked by the connection, we will show you what fits your bridge, which may be a threader, super floss, an interdental brush or a water flosser.
Regular visits are a chance for margins and gums to be assessed, and to discuss anything you have noticed at mealtimes.
If chewing feels different, or you find a chip, a rough edge or movement, call (204) 338-3003.
Bleeding, swelling or a bad taste that will not fade should be reported, in addition to any food that repeatedly gets trapped.

Helpful details about dental bridges in North Kildonan.
Ask our teamAsk your dentist, as that depends on your design, your supports and your bite. Do let them know which foods matter most to you, since advice can then be specific.
They may be, so ask before leaving your appointment which foods to avoid. A temporary serves a protective role, and the clinic can tell you how to look after it.
Restoring chewing is one purpose of a bridge. Follow what your dentist advises at fitting, and call the clinic if biting on that side feels wrong.
A chipped surface is one of the changes the clinic would want to hear about. Ask what is sensible given your material and your bite, especially if you tend to bite hard things.
Some particles can collect there, which is why daily cleaning underneath matters. If food keeps packing in, mention it, since the design or contacts may need to be looked at.
Call (204) 338-3003 or fill in the form with a line about what is bothering you when you eat. The clinic will reply to find a time at McPhillips Street.
Implants and dentures also replace missing teeth, while inlays, onlays and crowns restore teeth that are damaged but still present. These pages explain each option.
