Were you told you have gum disease, or did you lose the tooth to it? Then your gums belong at the centre of any talk about what fills the space.
Let's find a time
A bridge relies on what lies beneath it, and that includes the gums and bone around every supporting tooth. Inflamed or receding gums can change whether a tooth could be a suitable anchor, and sometimes also when a bridge should be considered.
Past gum trouble does not automatically rule anything out, but it does call for a careful look. Patients from Old Kildonan, an area of Winnipeg, can have their gums and possible supports examined together at our clinic on McPhillips Street.
Explore dental bridges
Your dentist reviews the tissue and support around any tooth being considered as an anchor.
Active gum concerns may need to be addressed before a replacement can be planned.
A bridge must leave a realistic way for you to keep the gum line beneath it clean.
Your dentist considers your gums alongside your teeth. Two questions tend to guide what happens next.
Some signs may suggest that gum care should be sorted out before bridge work moves ahead.
An anchor takes on additional work, which is why reduced support around a tooth matters so much.
Gum disease history is relevant to implants as well as to tooth-borne designs. Mention any past treatment, even if it took place at another clinic.
Every mouth is different, and your findings may change this order. If a bridge goes ahead, the general pattern is as follows.
Request your visitTissue health, support and alignment are examined, and your dentist explains how each finding may affect the decision about a bridge.
If gum treatment is recommended, it is explained first. Your dentist can tell you when replacing the tooth might be revisited.
With a stable foundation, the supports are prepared or assessed. Scans or impressions and shade and bite details are then gathered, and a temporary may be fitted.
At the try-in, margins and cleaning access get close attention, together with contacts and appearance, before the bridge is secured.
Previous deep cleanings, gum treatment, or a warning you were once given can all help. So can health information, since some conditions and habits can relate to gum health.
If gum care turns out to be part of your plan, ask for an estimate that makes clear which treatment each amount refers to.

Gums that are already sensitive can make the idea of dental treatment less appealing. Tell us where it hurts and which parts of a visit you find difficult.
Pointing out gum soreness at the start lets the team discuss your comfort before they begin.
Bleeding gums and bad breath are clinical signs, and you can bring them up plainly with us.
Agree beforehand how you will indicate you need a moment, then use that signal freely.
Long-term gum protection
Plaque along a bridge margin can irritate the gums and raise the risk of decay on natural anchors. Consistent daily cleaning does a great deal to protect both.
A floss threader, super floss, interdental brush or water flosser may help remove plaque around the gums. We can demonstrate options for your bridge.
Tell us if you see bleeding or swelling around the bridge. A persistent bad taste there is also worth reporting.
Your dentist or hygienist can recommend how often to come in for your gums and bridge, according to your individual needs.
Rapid swelling or pain is a reason to phone the clinic. Please do not wait on a reply to the online form.

Helpful details about dental bridges in Old Kildonan.
Ask our teamIt depends on how active the disease is and how much support your teeth have. Your dentist may recommend managing your gums first, then revisit the bridge afterward.
Not automatically. What matters is the present condition of your gums and supporting teeth, which your dentist can assess and explain in person.
Plaque that collects around or under a bridge can irritate the gums. This is why cleaning access is considered in the design, and daily care matters so much afterward.
They may or may not be. Bone, general health and healing are all part of implant planning, and your gum history is important information to share.
