Getting used to a bridge is a new experience, and it helps to know what is worth watching. This page looks ahead to the period after fitting, so you can tell a passing oddity from something to report.
Let's find a time
Rivercrest is outside the City of Winnipeg, so its residents travel into Winnipeg for treatment at our clinic. Once your bridge is attached, you go home with something new to learn, and much of that learning happens between appointments.
Each person’s experience differs with the design, the location of the space and how long the gap has been there. So rather than predict how yours will feel, we can tell you which signals call for a phone call, and which questions to ask before leaving.

Your teeth should be reviewed if their contact feels changed.
A daily habit under the bridge begins as soon as you get home.
Something that keeps bothering you deserves a quick call.
A restoration filling a formerly empty space may simply take noticing at first. Some changes, however, should be brought to the clinic’s attention.
Having a tooth in that spot again is a change in itself. These are everyday things you can ask your dentist about before leaving.
These are not things to wait out. The source of each should be looked at, and describing it by phone is a good start.
If you are not sure which list something belongs on, phoning is reasonable. You do not have to decide for yourself whether it matters.
All this comes after a process that unfolds across stages. The plan set after your examination determines how many trips into the city are needed.
Request your visitYour dentist considers gums, alignment, root health, surrounding restorations and the bite, and considers bone and healing too if implants are in question.
As required, adjoining teeth are prepared to receive crowns, or implants that have healed are assessed.
Bite records and a shade selection accompany a scan or impression, and you might wear a temporary until the custom piece is complete.
This is the moment to speak up. Contacts, margins, appearance, cleaning access and your bite are checked and adjusted prior to attachment.
Your fitting appointment is the natural time to ask what the next while should look like. Having your questions ready means fewer loose ends once you are back home.
It may help to keep the clinic’s number somewhere easy to find, and to write down the instructions you are given.

Feeling a little self-conscious around a new restoration is understandable. At the same time, you know your mouth, and your description of a change is useful to us even when you are unsure what it means.
Even a change you find hard to describe is fine to bring up.
If something occurs only with certain foods or at certain times, write that down.
A good look can help you describe a chip or swelling to the clinic.
Habits for the months ahead
Plaque collects beneath a bridge as it does elsewhere, and clearing it daily protects your gums and lowers decay risk around natural anchors. Getting comfortable with that routine early pays off later on.
Your bridge may suit a threader, super floss, an interdental brush or a water flosser. You will see them demonstrated, and you can ask for another look.
Ask when your next one should be, so that the margins and surrounding gums keep getting attention well after treatment wraps up.
For a chipped surface, a rough edge or anything else from the lists on this page, call (204) 338-3003.
Should a concern seem urgent, phone the clinic rather than sending the form, and describe what you are experiencing.

Helpful details about dental bridges in Rivercrest.
Ask our teamExperiences vary, so ask at your fitting what would be normal in your case. Plan to begin your new cleaning routine, and phone the clinic about anything that worries you.
You might notice that teeth meet earlier on one side, or that one spot feels high when you close. Mention this to the clinic, as bite is something your dentist can review.
Many people find they notice a new restoration less over time, though it varies. If an edge feels rough or it keeps bothering you, ask to have it checked.
Ask your dentist at the fitting, as the answer can depend on your bridge and how it was attached. Restoring chewing is a goal, but the instructions you get are specific to your treatment.
Yes, and particularly if it continues. A short description by phone lets the clinic tell you whether it needs a visit, which matters when you are coming in from outside the city.
