Can you look after a bridge made somewhere else?+
Ask us to take a look, and describe it when you call. An examination shows the condition of the supports and bite, and what comes next would depend on those findings.
Does my bridge have to be replaced because I switched dentists?+
Changing offices alone is not a reason for new work. Any recommendation should come from what is found in your mouth.
How will I know how old mine is if I have no records?+
You may not, and that is okay. A rough memory is fine, and your former office might be able to help if you can contact it.
Could decay be hiding beneath a bridge that feels fine?+
Natural anchor teeth can develop decay along their margins, and comfort alone does not rule that out. This is one reason regular examinations are recommended.
How long is an old bridge supposed to hold up?+
No fixed lifespan applies. Its support, your bite, cleaning, decay, gum health, its material and its upkeep all have a bearing on how it fares.
What if my old bridge is causing trouble right now?+
Call rather than using the form, so you can describe what is happening. Pain, swelling or a bridge that has moved is better talked through by phone.
How do Rosser residents get a bridge reviewed?+
Phone (204) 338-3003 or send the form and explain you have a bridge from another office. You would be seen at our clinic in Winnipeg, once the clinic has confirmed a time with you.
