A stretch of missing teeth raises different questions from one lone gap. For Transcona residents, this page explains how an implant bridge works and how that kind of space gets assessed on McPhillips Street.
Let's find a time
With neighbouring teeth gone, the obvious assumption is that each needs its own implant. Often the design works differently. A planned group of implants can hold up a bridge of connected replacement teeth, which is why the count of missing teeth and the count of implants don’t always line up.
How that might look for you depends on where the space falls, what support your jaw can offer and how the finished teeth would meet the ones opposite. Transcona is an area in Winnipeg, and if you live there, this assessment takes place at our clinic on McPhillips Street.

An implant bridge joins several replacement teeth into one restoration carried by implants.
Available bone and the restorative design guide how many implants a span might need.
Tooth-supported bridges and partial dentures may also come into the discussion for you.
A wider space adds some planning decisions. The dentist has to think about the whole row as well as each position within it.
Bone may vary from one part of a space to the next, so the entire span gets studied.
A bridge has to function as one unit, so it’s designed for chewing load and for cleaning access.
A gap’s width alone can’t reveal the answer. Two people missing the same number of teeth could end up with quite different plans.
Provided implants turn out to be suitable and you go ahead, the work unfolds in phases. Grafting, your health and each site’s healing influence how long it takes.
Request your visitRecords and imaging decide where each replacement tooth belongs, and the implant positions follow from those decisions.
Surgery places each implant in its planned spot, and any grafting the plan requires gets done then.
All of the implants need time to integrate with bone. The area stays protected and is checked over this time.
Abutments link your implants to the connected teeth. The bite is then checked, and hygiene instruction and review follow.
A row of teeth seldom disappears for no reason. Gum disease, an old bridge or a series of failed repairs could each change the plan, so try to remember what you can of the history.
Wearing a partial denture across this space at the moment? Bring it along so the dentist can see how it fits.

A multi-tooth plan can sound like a lot when you first hear it. Ask for it to be split into its parts, so that you can see what each appointment is for and what you’d do for teeth along the way.
A model or your own scan can make a span easier to picture, so ask whether one could be shown.
A wide gap can be harder to live with during healing. Raise this concern while planning.
Placing more than one implant may prompt extra questions on comfort, and those are welcome ones.
Cleaning a connected span
Connected teeth can’t be flossed between in the ordinary way, and plaque that collects under them can inflame the gum and threaten bone around the implants, even though implants don’t decay. Learning a method that works for you is part of the treatment.
Ask for a hands-on demonstration, and if you find it awkward at home, come back and say so.
Professional maintenance can pick up on what you may not notice around a longer restoration.
If any part of the bridge shifts or your bite suddenly feels different, get it checked.
Call (204) 338-3003 if you notice bleeding, swelling or drainage around the implants, or a bad taste that keeps returning.

No fixed rule applies. Your bone, the position of the gap and the design of the bridge all feed into that number, and it can only be worked out after an assessment and imaging.
A conventional bridge is anchored to natural teeth beside the space, whereas an implant bridge rests on implants placed in the jaw. Each has its own requirements and suits different situations.
That can be worth asking about. Whether individual implant crowns would make sense depends on the available room and support, along with your bite and cleaning needs.
It depends on the problem and how your restoration is built. Different components can have different maintenance needs, so ask what future repairs could involve during planning.
Tooth-supported bridges, partial dentures and restorative care in general are all relevant if several teeth in a row are missing.
