What is an Implant-Supported Bridge?

An implant-supported bridge is a dental restoration that replaces multiple missing teeth by using dental implants as anchors. Unlike traditional bridges, which rely on neighboring teeth for support, implant-supported bridges are fixed in place using titanium implants that are surgically placed into the jawbone. This option offers enhanced stability, improved comfort, and a more natural appearance, making it ideal for patients with missing teeth who want a durable, permanent solution.

The Implant-Supported Bridge Procedure

Our implant-supported bridge procedure involves several key steps to ensure a successful outcome. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Consultation & Diagnosis: During your initial consultation, we’ll evaluate your oral health and determine if you’re a good candidate for implants. X-rays and scans may be taken to assess your bone structure.
2. Implant Placement: If necessary, dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they will fuse with the bone over a period of several months (osseointegration).
3. Bridge Fabrication: Once the implants have fully integrated with your bone, a custom-made bridge is created to match your natural teeth. The bridge is then securely attached to the implants.
4. Final Adjustment & Polishing: After the bridge is placed, we ensure a proper fit and make any necessary adjustments. Finally, the bridge is polished for a natural, smooth finish.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Bridges

• Long-lasting Solution: Implant-supported bridges are durable and designed to last for many years, providing a reliable solution for missing teeth.
• Improved Comfort: Unlike traditional bridges, implant-supported bridges do not rely on surrounding teeth, ensuring greater comfort and stability.
• Natural Look & Feel: These bridges are custom-designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a beautiful, realistic smile.
• Preserves Bone Health: Implants help prevent bone loss in the jaw, which is common after tooth loss, ensuring long-term oral health.

Why Implant-Supported Bridges Matter

Implant-supported bridges are not just about restoring your smile; they’re also about improving your overall oral health. Missing teeth can lead to bone loss, misalignment, and difficulty chewing. An implant-supported bridge provides a stable, permanent solution, helping to restore the full function and appearance of your teeth. It also ensures that your remaining teeth remain healthy and properly aligned, preventing further dental issues.
