Implant Supported Bridge

Implant-Supported Bridges: A Permanent Solution for Multiple Missing Teeth

An implant-supported bridge is a reliable, long-lasting solution for replacing multiple missing teeth. This advanced dental implant treatment uses two or more dental implants placed in the jawbone to support a custom bridge made of several connected crowns. Unlike traditional dental bridges, implant-supported bridges do not require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth, helping preserve your natural smile while restoring full function and appearance.

By stimulating the jawbone, dental implants help prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure, making implant-supported bridges a superior option for long-term oral health.

How Implant-Supported Bridges Work

1. Dental Implant Placement

Small titanium posts (dental implants) are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing.

2. Healing & Osseointegration

Over several months, the implants fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and stable foundation.

3. Bridge Attachment

Once healing is complete, abutments are attached to the implants and a custom implant-supported bridge is securely placed, restoring multiple teeth at once.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Bridges

• Preserves Healthy Teeth: No need to reshape or damage adjacent teeth

• Prevents Jawbone Loss: Implants stimulate bone and prevent deterioration

• Improved Stability & Comfort: Allows confident chewing, speaking, and smiling

• Natural Look & Feel: Designed to closely match natural teeth

• Long-Term Durability: With proper care, implant-supported bridges can last for decades

Who Is a Candidate for an Implant-Supported Bridge?

Most patients in good oral and overall health are candidates for implant-supported bridges. Adequate jawbone density is required to support dental implants. If bone loss has occurred, bone grafting procedures (such as a sinus lift) may be recommended to ensure long-term success.

Implant-Supported Bridge vs. Traditional Dental Bridge

Traditional Dental Bridge

• Supported by adjacent teeth

• Requires grinding down healthy teeth

• Does not prevent bone loss

Implant-Supported Bridge

• Anchored by dental implants

• Preserves surrounding teeth

• Prevents bone loss and offers superior strength and longevity
