What Is an Implant Bridge?

A fixed, implant-supported bridge is a dental prosthetic that replaces one or more missing teeth in a row. Unlike traditional bridges, which attach to your existing natural teeth, fixed bridges are attached using dental implants. This makes the fixed bridge strong, and the implants help to keep your jawbone healthy.

Implant-supported bridges provide the added advantage of restoring chewing ability and speech clarity while maintaining the health of the jawbone. They distribute pressure evenly, reducing stress on the surrounding natural teeth and enhancing comfort. Additionally, they eliminate the need to grind down adjacent teeth, which is often necessary with traditional bridges.

Whether you’ve lost teeth due to trauma, decay, or gum disease, an implant-supported bridge can be a life-changing solution. Patients report a drastic improvement in their quality of life, eating habits, and self-esteem after receiving their dental implant restorations.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

 Implant-supported dentures are a great option if you are missing most or all of your natural teeth. We offer two types of implant-supported dentures:

• Fixed implant-supported dentures, which are permanently attached to dental implants
• "Snap-on" implant-supported dentures, which are easy to remove for cleaning.

Both types offer significant advantages over traditional dentures. Because they are anchored by dental implants, these dentures are more stable, secure, and comfortable. They don’t slip or shift while speaking or eating, and they help preserve the bone in your jaw, preventing the sunken appearance that often accompanies missing teeth.

Patients who have struggled with ill-fitting dentures find renewed confidence and ease of use with implant-supported options. These advanced prosthetics provide the freedom to enjoy your favorite foods and the comfort of knowing your smile looks natural and attractive.

Implant-supported dentures are also easier to care for than many people expect. Regular brushing, occasional removal (if applicable), and routine dental visits are all it takes to keep your smile looking its best. With the added support of dental implants, you can count on enhanced stability and peace of mind each day.
