A bridge that has served its time
Restorative & Prosthodontics for North Kildonan Residents
Bridges don’t have a fixed lifespan, but anchor teeth, gums and bite can all change around them. If yours is giving you trouble, a careful review can show what your choices are now.

Looking again at an old bridge
The anchors under it usually tell the real story.
When an established bridge begins to cause problems, the cause isn’t always the bridge itself. Natural anchor teeth can develop decay at the margins, gums can change, and a surface can chip. North Kildonan is an area in Winnipeg, and residents looking into this can have the work reviewed at our McPhillips Street clinic.
The review considers whether the supporting teeth can still carry the load, using an examination and appropriate X-rays. From there, the options may include a repair, a new bridge, implant support or a removable partial. Your bite, the length of the span and your own priorities all shape the recommendation.

Inspect the anchors
Decay, root health and gum support around the supporting teeth determine much of what can happen next.
Review the design
Span length, chewing forces and how easily you can clean beneath it all help show why trouble may have developed.
Weigh what comes next
Fixed and removable replacements each have trade-offs, so ask how they compare for the teeth you have now.

Getting a bridge reviewed
From first symptoms to a decision.
You don’t need to know whether it can be saved before you come in. Finding that out is exactly what the visit is for.
Request your visit- 01
List what has changed
Note any movement, packed food, a bad taste, bleeding, or a chip. Include roughly how long it has been going on.
- 02
Allow for a close examination
Expect attention to margins, gums and bite, along with X-rays where appropriate, so the condition of hidden areas can be judged.
- 03
Ask about the interim
If replacement is recommended, find out how the space would be managed and what a temporary bridge might involve.

Helpful details about restorative & prosthodontics in North Kildonan.
Ask our teamHow long is a dental bridge expected to last?
No lifespan can be promised. Support, bite, cleaning, decay, gum health, material and maintenance all play a part, so age alone doesn’t tell you whether a bridge has failed.
Why does my old bridge smell or taste bad?
A persistent bad taste can go along with trapped food, gum inflammation or trouble at the anchor teeth. Mention it so the area can be examined, as the cause isn’t obvious from the outside.
If an anchor tooth has decay, is the whole bridge lost?
It depends on the extent of the decay and on how much sound tooth remains. Because the units are connected, one weak anchor can affect the overall plan, so ask what your options are.
Can a new bridge go on the same teeth as the old one?
Sometimes, if those teeth still have suitable gums, roots and structure. The planned chewing forces and span length also need to be considered before a replacement is designed.
Could implants take over from my old bridge?
Possibly. Implants can support a replacement without using natural teeth as anchors, but bone, health and healing time all need assessing, and treatment can span months.
My bridge came off in one piece. Should I recement it myself?
No. Keep it somewhere safe, avoid household adhesives, and call the clinic to explain what happened and ask what to do in the meantime.
