When you're missing two or more teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge is an excellent solution. Unlike a traditional bridge that relies on crowning neighboring teeth for support, an implant bridge is anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone where your natural tooth roots were. This means your remaining natural teeth stay completely untouched.
We typically place two or more implants to support the bridge, depending on how many teeth are missing. The bridge itself is custom-made to match your natural teeth perfectly, and once placed, it's permanently fixed in your mouth—there's nothing to remove or adjust daily.
Implant bridges look, feel, and function like natural teeth. You can eat whatever you want, brush and floss normally, and enjoy a restored smile. Because the implants stimulate your jawbone, they help prevent the bone loss that happens when teeth are missing. The entire process usually takes 4-6 months.
