Implant-Supported Bridges
A fixed bridge anchored to implants to replace several missing teeth in a row, without grinding down healthy teeth.
An implant-supported bridge replaces two or more missing teeth in a row. Instead of relying on your natural teeth for support, the bridge is anchored to dental implants, which protects your healthy teeth and helps preserve the jawbone.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
This option fits patients missing several adjacent teeth who want a fixed result that doesn't come out, and who have enough bone for implants or are able to have grafting.
What to Expect
We plan the implants with a 3D CBCT scan, place them, and allow time for healing. Once the implants are secure, we take a digital iTero scan and attach a custom bridge matched to your smile.
Common Questions
Quick answers to questions we hear often. See all FAQs
How is this different from a traditional bridge?
A traditional bridge is supported by the natural teeth on either side, which must be shaped for crowns. An implant bridge is supported by implants instead.
How many implants do I need?
Often two implants can support a bridge of three or more teeth. Your scan determines the plan.
How do I clean an implant bridge?
Brush normally and clean under the bridge with floss threaders or a water flosser. We'll show you how at your visit.
