Missing multiple teeth doesn’t have to hold you back from having a full, healthy smile. An implant bridge is a durable, long-lasting solution to replace several missing teeth in a row.
Unlike traditional bridges, which rely on surrounding teeth for support, an implant bridge anchors to dental implants placed in your jawbone. Besides restoring the look and function of your teeth, this approach supports jawbone health and prevents more tooth loss.
At Wilson Family Dental, we are committed to helping you regain your smile with expert care and personalized treatment plans.
What is an Implant Bridge?
An implant bridge is a dental restoration that uses two or more implants as anchors to support a custom-made bridge. The implants act as replacement roots, providing unmatched stability and comfort. Once the implants are securely placed and healed, the bridge is attached, filling the gap with natural-looking, functional teeth.
Benefits of Implant Bridges
Choosing an implant bridge offers several advantages:
- Stability and Comfort: Implant bridges are anchored to the jawbone, eliminating the need for adhesives or clasps. They feel secure and natural.
- Preserved Jawbone Health: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
- Longevity: With proper care, an implant bridge can last for decades, making it a cost-effective solution in the long run.
- Improved Functionality: Eat, speak, and smile confidently without worrying about slipping or shifting, as with dentures.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Implant bridges are custom-designed to match your natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.
Who is a Good Candidate for an Implant Bridge?
Most individuals with multiple missing teeth are great candidates for an implant bridge. Ideal candidates include those who:
- Have good oral health and sufficient jawbone density to support implants.
- Are non-smokers or willing to quit during the healing process, as smoking can affect implant success.
- Are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups.
- Seek a permanent, reliable alternative to traditional bridges or removable dentures.
