Thinking about a bridge
Restorative & Prosthodontics for Tyndall Park Residents
A bridge stays in your mouth and does not come out at night, which appeals to many people. It also depends heavily on the teeth holding it up, so those deserve your attention.

Fixed replacement, examined closely
A bridge is only as sound as its supports.
If a bridge has been suggested to you, or you are a Tyndall Park resident in Winnipeg wondering about one, there is a good chance you have a specific worry: what happens to the healthy teeth next to the space. In a tooth-supported design, crowns on those neighbours carry the artificial tooth between them, so preparing them is part of the deal.
Whether that trade-off makes sense depends on the teeth involved. Anchors that already hold large fillings are in a different position from untouched ones, and implants can sometimes carry a bridge without relying on natural teeth at all. We examine the gums, roots and alignment at our McPhillips Street clinic so you can weigh it with real information.

Sturdy anchors
Teeth or implants underneath the design have to be able to manage the chewing forces planned for them.
Span length
Longer stretches create different mechanical demands, which is why replacing several teeth raises the stakes on support.
A route for cleaning
Connected teeth cannot be flossed the regular way, so a realistic daily routine belongs in the design stage.
Fixed and removable compared

A little clarity before your visit
Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about restorative & prosthodontics in Tyndall Park.
Ask our teamDoes a bridge damage the teeth next to the gap?
Anchor teeth in a tooth-supported design are shaped to receive crowns, which is a permanent change. Your dentist can explain whether those teeth are good candidates and which alternatives avoid this.
Is there a bridge that uses a tooth on one side only?
Yes, this is called a cantilever design. Because support comes from a single side, it is reserved for carefully selected situations with suitable forces.
How do I floss around a bridge?
Regular floss cannot pass between joined units. A floss threader, super floss, interdental brush or water flosser may reach beneath the replacement tooth, and staff can show you which fits your work.
Why does food keep getting caught under my bridge?
Repeated packing beneath or beside a bridge is worth reporting, as are bleeding, swelling or a lingering bad taste. They can point to something that needs a closer look.
What is the difference between a bridge and a removable partial?
A bridge is cemented or attached, and you do not take it out. A partial is removed for cleaning and can replace teeth in separate spots using one appliance.
Can one bridge cover a few missing teeth in a row?
Some can, although a longer span makes the quality of support more important. It is one reason implant-supported designs may be discussed for bigger spaces.
What should a Tyndall Park resident do to arrange a bridge consultation?
Phone (204) 338-3003 or fill in the request form, noting that you would like to discuss a bridge. Your visit would take place at our McPhillips Street clinic.
