WHAT ARE IMPLANT-SUPPORTED BRIDGES, AND HOW DO THEY WORK?

Implant-supported bridges are an alternative to traditional dentures. They are made up of two implant posts that we place in your jawbone and a false tooth or teeth in between. The implant posts act as anchors for the bridge and keep it securely in place.

This type of bridge is an excellent option for people who have lost more than one tooth or need tooth extractions. It is also a good choice for people who have difficulty wearing traditional dentures.

WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR IMPLANT-SUPPORTED BRIDGES?

To be a candidate for implant-supported bridges, you must have healthy gums and enough bone in your jaw to support the implant posts. It would be best if you were committed to oral hygiene and willing to care for your implant-supported bridge.

The best way to determine if implant-supported dentures are right for you is to schedule a consultation with our team. Dr. David Henry and Dr. Greer can examine your mouth and jaw and let you know if implant-supported bridges are a good option.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF IMPLANT-SUPPORTED BRIDGES?

There are many benefits of implant-supported bridges. Here are some of the most popular reasons our patients love implant-supported bridges:

Improved Appearance:

Implant-supported bridges look just like natural teeth! Our high-quality materials make your implant-supported bridge indistinguishable from your natural teeth.

Improved Function:

Implant-supported bridges allow you to eat and speak with confidence. You won’t have to worry about dentures which can slip or fall out when you’re eating or talking.

Improved Oral Health:

Implant-supported bridges help to preserve your jawbone and prevent tooth loss. They also make it easier to keep your mouth clean, which helps to reduce the risk of gum disease.

HOW LONG DO IMPLANT-SUPPORTED BRIDGES LAST?

These bridges can last for years – between eight and fifteen on average with proper care. However, some factors can affect their lifespan. In particular, maintaining good oral hygiene and regularly visiting a dentist for checkups and cleanings can help ensure the bridge’s longevity and surrounding gum tissue. It’s also important to remember to treat the bridge just as you would natural teeth – avoid habits like crunching on hard objects or using your teeth as tools.
