What is an Implant-Supported Dental Bridge?
An implant-supported dental bridge, also called a fixed partial prosthesis, is a permanent solution for filling the gap left by missing teeth. Unlike traditional bridges that rely on adjacent natural teeth, an implant-supported dental bridge is anchored directly to dental implants, which serve as artificial roots to support the bridge and preserve jawbone health over time. This structure helps prevent bone loss, a common issue with missing tooth roots.
Our process implant-supported bridge process begins with a precise digital scan of your mouth, allowing our doctors to design a custom-fit implant-supported dental bridge tailored to your ideal tooth shape, color, and size for a natural and beautiful smile.
Benefits of an Implant-Supported Dental Bridge
- Restores Function and Comfort: Chew, speak, and smile confidently with a securely anchored bridge.
- Prevents Bone Loss: Implants help stimulate the jawbone, supporting your long-term oral health.
- Preserves Natural Teeth: Does not involve modifying healthy adjacent teeth for support.
- Durable and Long-Lasting: Offers a lasting solution for tooth replacement when properly maintained.
Caring for Your Implant-Supported Dental Bridge
Proper care is essential to maintain your implant-supported dental bridge and the health of your natural teeth. Cleaning around implants requires attention to the area beneath the bridge, along with regular brushing and flossing. We recommend:
- Using a floss threader to clean between the implant-supported dental bridge and gum tissue.
- Regular visits with our team to professionally clean your bridge and assess its condition.
- Reviewing your home-care routine to ensure effective cleaning techniques.
During these visits, our team will examine the health of your implants, implant-supported dental bridge, and surrounding gum tissue, helping to prevent issues such as gum disease, bone loss, or complications with the implant-supported dental bridge.
