What is an Implant-Supported Bridge?

An implant-supported bridge is a dental restoration that uses titanium implants placed into your jaw to support a custom-made bridge. The bridge replaces multiple missing teeth at once.

Regular bridges rely on nearby teeth for support, while implant-supported bridges stand on their own. This means no altering healthy teeth and a more natural feel.

When to Get Implant-Supported Bridges

Implant-supported bridges may be right for you if:

You’re missing multiple teeth in a row
You prefer a permanent, secure solution that doesn’t shift around
You want to keep your natural teeth intact
You’re looking for a solution that helps preserve your jawbone health
You’re ready for a long-term investment in your smile

How Are Implant-Supported Bridges Placed?

The process begins with a thorough consultation, where we will assess your oral health and design a treatment plan.

Titanium posts are then placed into the jaw, where they’ll heal and bond over a few months. During that time, we will provide a temporary restoration to maintain your appearance and comfort.

After healing, we attach your bridge to the implants, giving you a strong, seamless fit that doesn’t feel like a replacement.

Benefits of an Implant-Supported Bridge Over Traditional Bridges

Stability: With implants holding your bridge in place, you can go about your day with confidence—without the worry of it slipping or shifting. ‍
Preserves Healthy Teeth: No need to file down neighboring teeth, leaving them as strong and healthy as they were before. ‍
Natural Feel: Implants are placed in your jaw, so the bridge feels like natural teeth. ‍
Helps Prevent Bone Loss: Implants stimulate your jawbone, helping prevent the bone loss that often occurs when teeth are missing. ‍
Long-Lasting: With proper care, implant-supported bridges can last 15 years or more, offering you a durable, long-term solution.
