What Is an Implant-Supported Bridge?
In this video, Dr. Vahid Bashi discusses how custom-made implant bridges provide a natural appearance and enhance both function and aesthetics.
An implant-supported bridge is a type of dental bridge that is anchored onto dental implants rather than being supported by natural teeth. This option is ideal for areas in the mouth where multiple teeth are missing. The process begins with the placement of implants in the jawbone at the site of the missing teeth. After allowing time for healing and for the implants to integrate with the bone, a bridge is then attached to these implants. Unlike removable bridges or dentures, an implant-supported bridge is cemented in place, ensuring it remains secure and does not become loose.
This bridge is custom-made to match the color and shape of your existing teeth, ensuring a natural and seamless appearance. Opting for an implant-supported bridge can significantly enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of your smile.
To determine whether an implant-supported bridge is the best solution for your dental needs, scheduling a consultation is advisable.
