If you are missing several teeth in a row, you might struggle with confidence in your smile. While you’d like to restore your smile, traditional dentures (full or patrial) may seem daunting and uncomfortable.
Many patients feel unsure if they want to commit to dentures outright, but this isn’t the only option. Implant bridges are a secure and natural-feeling alternative to traditional dentures.
In this blog, Dr. Lauren Lewis explains how implant bridges a solution for multiple missing teeth can be and how to get started.
What Is an Implant Bridge?
An implant bridge uses a small number of dental implants to support multiple replacement teeth in a row.
Instead of placing an implant for every missing tooth, implants are strategically positioned in the jawbone to anchor a custom-made bridge.
Our bridges are customized in-house in our dental lab. This assures quality control and the perfect fit for our patients.
Strategic placement for implant bridges allows us to restore both function and appearance while minimizing the number of implants needed.
How Does the Process Work?
- Book an initial consultation to explore if you are an ideal candidate. This may depend on your age and any ongoing dental issues.
- Following evaluation, the process begins with placing dental implants at key points in the jawbone.
- Once the implants have healed and integrated with the bone, a custom-designed bridge is securely attached to your implants, replacing multiple teeth in a row as needed.
The result is a restoration that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.
