Have meals turned into a habit of steering food to one side? A gap toward the back of the mouth can change how you eat long before anyone else sees it.
Let's find a time
Molars and premolars do much of the grinding in every meal, so losing one often shows up at the dinner table first. You might notice that tougher foods have become a chore, or that one side now does nearly all the work.
A fixed bridge is one possible way to restore a chewing surface in that space. If you live in West Kildonan, an area of Winnipeg, the assessment takes place at our McPhillips Street clinic, where your dentist can look at the gap, its neighbours and the teeth that meet them from the opposite jaw.
Explore dental bridges
Teeth or implants underneath must be able to carry the forces a back-of-mouth bridge will face.
Whatever bites down on the replacement helps determine its shape and the material chosen for it.
Your dentist can ask how you chew now, including which side you have been relying on lately.
A rear bridge is planned around the job it will do each day. Two sets of questions tend to shape the conversation.
A bridge sits on crowned neighbouring teeth, on dental implants, or on a combination suited to that particular space.
Back teeth meet with force and also slide across one another, so these movements are recorded and studied.
Support from only one side is kept for carefully chosen cases, because of the forces involved. Whether that could apply to a rear tooth is a matter for your assessment.
Treatment happens over stages instead of all at once, and any one stage can be explained further when you get there.
Request your visitDescribe what has become hard to chew and when the tooth was lost. An examination of the space and surrounding teeth follows.
Crown preparation is carried out on anchor teeth where needed. With healed implants, the assessment turns to how a restoration will connect.
A scan or impression, a record of your bite and shade information all go toward making the custom piece. A temporary may cover the area in the meantime.
Before anything is secured, your dentist reviews contacts, margins, appearance, cleaning access and how the bridge meets the opposing teeth.
Small observations help. Which foods do you avoid? Do you favour one side? Has anything changed in the teeth next to the space?
Ask about estimated fees and appointment length when you speak with the clinic, since these depend on your design.
Waiting area and reception desk at Winnipeg North Dental.
Keeping your mouth open for rear treatment is an honest worry, particularly if your jaw gets stiff. Mention it early so it can be part of the conversation.
Let your dentist know ahead of time if holding your mouth open tends to bother you.
A simple gesture, agreed before you start, gives you a way to ask for a moment’s break.
Some patients want each step described and others do not. Tell us which suits you.
Back at your own table
A bridge joins its parts together, and that changes your daily cleaning. Rear areas are also harder to see, so a routine you can follow by feel is valuable.
Normal floss will not drop between joined units, so ask us to show you which threader, brush or water flosser reaches a molar bridge in your mouth.
Report it if the bridge seems to hit first when you close, or if an edge has turned rough or chipped.
Natural anchors can still decay along their margins, and rear margins are easy to miss at home without regular professional checks.
Urgent bridge or tooth trouble is a reason to phone the clinic. The form is meant for routine requests.

Helpful details about dental bridges in West Kildonan.
Ask our teamA missing back tooth can make the other side feel easier, and people often shift without deciding to. Your dentist can examine both sides and talk about whether replacing the tooth is suitable.
It has to be planned for that purpose. Support, the length of the space, opposing teeth and material selection all feed into whether a design is appropriate for your bite.
With a neighbour on only one side, a traditional design may not be possible. A one-sided bridge suits only selected situations, and implants or a partial denture may enter the discussion.
It can take some practice, because the area is hard to see and the units are joined. We can demonstrate tools that fit your bridge and your reach.
