A bridge that has served you for years can loosen, decay at an anchor tooth or simply wear out. For Garden Grove residents, care takes place at our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Let's find a time
Long-standing dental work doesn’t last forever, and finding out your bridge needs attention can feel like starting over. The first question isn’t really about implants. It’s about why the bridge is failing, and what shape the anchor teeth and the bone under the gap are in.
Sometimes a new bridge is the sensible answer, and sometimes a design using implants deserves a look, particularly if an anchor tooth can’t be kept. If you are a Garden Grove resident, an assessment at our Winnipeg clinic can help separate those possibilities.

Decay, gum changes, fracture and bite forces can each be at fault, and each one points toward different solutions.
The condition of the teeth holding your bridge is often central to what could replace it.
A replacement bridge or removable option may be more suitable, depending on what the examination shows.
Once the reason for the failure is known, your options usually come down to a few broad directions. Suitability depends on your teeth, bone, gums and goals.
If anchor teeth remain sound and can be restored predictably, a conventional replacement may still be on the table for you.
A planned implant could replace an anchor or support a new span, standing on its own support once healing has taken place.
Where many teeth are affected, a denture, possibly retained by implants, is another route worth exploring during your discussion.
Your teeth may need treatment before any replacement is built. Taking the old bridge off could also reveal details that no one can see while it is still in place.
This offers a rough idea of how an appointment like this tends to go. Your examination can change the order or add further steps along the way.
Request your visitShare what you’ve noticed, such as movement, a bad taste, or food getting stuck under your bridge, and when it started.
Supporting teeth, surrounding gums and your bite get checked, with X-rays or other imaging as your dentist considers it useful.
If implants are being considered, three-dimensional imaging can help assess the bone under the span and the anatomy close by.
Bridge, implant and removable options can then be weighed, with an explanation of how each would be staged and maintained.
Even a rough history of the bridge can help explain why it’s failing now. Bring what you know, and remember that you don’t need exact dates or the original paperwork.
If part of the bridge has come off, call the clinic and ask what to do with the piece and how soon you should be seen.

You already paid for a bridge once, and being told it needs replacing can feel unfair. That frustration is understandable, and it’s reasonable to want careful explanations before committing to anything new.
Point out any tooth under the bridge that hurts when touched or tapped, so it can be approached gently.
Ask what you would have in place of the bridge during treatment, if it needs to be removed.
Understanding what caused this failure can make a replacement feel like a better-informed decision.
Making the next one last
Neither a bridge nor an implant restoration looks after itself. Plaque along the gum line can affect teeth and implants alike, so reaching beneath the span matters every day, whichever design you end up with.
Have someone demonstrate the tools that suit your new restoration and show you how to thread them under it.
Hygiene visits and bite checks can pick up small changes before they turn into another failed restoration.
Bleeding, an odd taste or movement in any part of the restoration should all prompt a call to the clinic.
A bridge that has come loose, or severe discomfort beneath one, is a phone matter. Reach the clinic on (204) 338-3003.

Occasionally repair or recementing may be an option, depending on why it failed. Ask the dentist to look at the bridge and its anchors before you assume it needs replacing.
Perhaps, though the number of implants doesn’t always match the number of missing teeth. Available support and the restorative design guide how many would be needed.
That depends on their condition. Some might be restored and kept, while others may need removal. Your dentist can explain how each tooth fits into the possible plans.
Ask about temporary options early, since they depend on which teeth are affected and on the design that gets chosen. It’s a useful thing to settle before you begin.
Common culprits include decay at an anchor, gum changes, cracks and bite forces. An examination can look for the likely reason, which can then help shape what comes next.
