Is it too late for a bridge if my tooth was lost years ago?+
Time alone does not rule one out. What counts is the present condition of the teeth, gums and bite around that space, which we can assess.
Could the neighbouring teeth have moved?+
They can, and opposing teeth can change position as well. Alignment is part of the examination because it affects how a bridge might be designed.
Does replacing the tooth help keep my bite balanced?+
Helping to maintain spacing and bite balance is one of the aims of a bridge. How much it can do for you depends on how your teeth meet at present.
What if a bridge is not suitable after all?+
Then we’ll talk about what else may fit, such as dental implants or a removable partial denture. Health, anatomy, timing and your goals all feed into that comparison.
Can food get stuck beneath a bridge?+
Food can collect there, which is why cleaning access is part of the design. If it keeps packing in the same spot after placement, tell us.
Which Winnipeg North address do I come to for a bridge?+
