Implant-Supported Bridges

For patients who have lost more than one tooth, an implant-supported bridge offers a secure and permanent solution.

Replacing missing or rotten teeth is essential to keeping your mouth healthy in the long run. A missing tooth can cause more trouble than just an unsightly gap in your smile. Tooth loss can cause your remaining teeth to shift around the gap, changing the alignment of your smile and even causing changes in your facial aesthetics.

Having missing teeth can also affect your ability to chew nutritious foods. Other tooth replacement options, such as removable partial dentures, aren’t as stable as implant-supported bridges. An implant bridge can return the majority of your chewing function so you can eat what you want again.

What Is An Implant-Supported Bridge?

While a standard dental bridge can prevent most tooth-loss-related problems, an implant-supported bridge has several advantages. Traditional bridges rely on adjacent teeth for support. These nominally healthy teeth need to be reshaped before the bridge is secured in place using dental cement. Using implants to secure the bridge instead means that no healthy teeth need to be ground down in order to replace a missing tooth.

How Many Implants Are Used?

Tooth loss can cause your remaining teeth to shift around the gap, changing the alignment of your smile and even causing changes in your facial aesthetics.
Dental implants can prevent the continuation of bone loss that occurs when a tooth is removed. When you lose a tooth, the bone in your jaw no longer gets the sensations of pressure from the force of your bite that tell the bone to regenerate. As a result, your body starts to resorb the bone and your jawbone shrinks in that area. With an implant-supported bridge, the implants help your bone feel the force of your bite so your bone stays stimulated. Bone resorption may still occur under the middle of the bridge, but it will be less problematic than bone loss associated with having a removable bridge or no bridge at all.

Procedure Overview

Getting an implant-supported bridge takes several appointments.

The first step is the placement of dental implants.

After initial placement, it usually takes several months for the bone and gums around the implants to heal.

Once implant sites are healed, the dentist will take impressions of your mouth in order to make a mould.

Using the resulting model of your teeth, the lab technician will create your custom crown, color matched to your existing teeth.

Once the final bridge arrives the dentist will either screw or cement it in place on the implants.
