If you’re missing multiple teeth, implant-supported bridges offer a stable, long-lasting solution that restores both function and aesthetics. Unlike traditional dental bridges, which rely on adjacent teeth for support, implant-supported bridges are anchored directly into the jawbone using dental implants placed by experienced professionals. This ensures superior durability, prevents bone loss, and enhances oral health.
At Hyde Park Dental Arts, our team of highly qualified and experienced dental professionals specializes in providing implant-supported bridges using the latest technology and best practices. If you’re looking for a permanent solution for missing teeth, we’re here to help!
Who is a Candidate for Implant-Supported Bridges?
You may be a great candidate for implant-supported bridges if you:
- Have multiple missing teeth in a row
- Have adequate jawbone density to support dental implants
- Are in good overall oral health
- Want a more permanent solution than traditional dentures or bridges
- Do not have uncontrolled diabetes, gum disease, or other conditions that may affect healing
During your consultation at Hyde Park Dental Arts, our implant dentistry specialists will evaluate your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and determine whether implant-supported bridges are the right solution for you.
What Are Implant-Supported Bridges?
An implant-supported bridge is a dental restoration used to replace multiple missing teeth. Instead of depending on natural teeth for support, the bridge is attached to dental implants, which are surgically placed into the jawbone by our board-certified dental implant specialists.
These implants act as artificial tooth roots, providing unparalleled strength and stability. The bridge, typically made of high-quality, biocompatible materials like porcelain or ceramic, blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring a beautiful and natural-looking smile.
Benefits of Implant-Supported Bridges
Choosing implant-supported bridges over traditional options offers numerous benefits, including:
Superior Stability & Durability
Our dental implant experts use state-of-the-art implant systems that fuse with the jawbone, creating a secure foundation for your bridge. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, they won’t slip or shift while speaking or eating.
Prevents Bone Loss
Tooth loss leads to jawbone deterioration over time. Dental implants stimulate bone growth and prevent bone loss, preserving facial structure and oral health.
No Damage to Adjacent Teeth
Traditional bridges require grinding down adjacent teeth to support the prosthetic. Implant-supported bridges eliminate this risk, protecting your natural teeth.
Improved Chewing & Speech
Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew food properly or speak clearly. Implant-supported bridges restore full chewing function and natural speech patterns.
Long-Lasting Solution
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, while the bridge itself can remain in excellent condition for many years.
Aesthetic & Natural Appearance
Custom-crafted by our skilled dental technicians, implant-supported bridges provide an aesthetically pleasing and natural-looking smile.
The Implant-Supported Bridge Procedure
The process of getting implant-supported bridges involves several steps:
Consultation & Treatment Planning
We start with a comprehensive examination, including digital X-rays and 3D imaging, to assess your bone structure and overall dental health. Our expert implantologists will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Dental Implant Placement
Using advanced guided implant surgery techniques, titanium implants are surgically placed into the jawbone at strategic positions. Over the next few months, these implants fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
Abutment Placement
Once the implants are fully integrated, small connectors called abutments are attached to serve as the foundation for the bridge.
Custom Bridge Placement
A custom-made porcelain or ceramic bridge, designed to match your natural teeth, is securely attached to the abutments, restoring your smile with a natural-looking and fully functional dental prosthetic.
Recovery & Aftercare
After implant placement, healing time varies from 3 to 6 months, during which the implants integrate with the bone. Our dental team will provide you with post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
Caring for Your Implant-Supported Bridge
To maintain your new smile, follow these expert recommendations:
- Brush and floss daily using non-abrasive toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush
- Use interdental brushes or water flossers to clean around implants
- Schedule regular dental check-ups for professional cleanings and exams
- Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption to ensure implant longevity
Cost of Implant-Supported Bridges
The cost of implant-supported bridges varies based on several factors, including:
- The number of implants required
- The type of materials used for the bridge
- The complexity of the procedure
- Any additional treatments needed, such as bone grafting
On average, implant-supported bridges can range between $3,000 to $15,000 per arch. During your consultation at Hyde Park Dental Arts, we will provide you with a detailed cost breakdown and discuss available financing options to make treatment affordable.
