At Greg M. Lee Dentistry, we offer implant-supported bridges to provide a durable and natural-looking solution for those missing multiple teeth. Implant-supported bridges are anchored directly into your jawbone, offering a stable and permanent replacement that mimics the feel and function of your natural teeth. This advanced treatment option helps you regain the ability to eat, speak and smile without worrying about loose or shifting dentures.
What to Expect with Implant-Supported Bridges
When you choose implant-supported bridges, the process begins with placing small titanium posts into the jawbone where the teeth are missing. These implants serve as artificial roots, bonding with your jawbone over time to create a secure base for your bridge. Once the implants are fully integrated, the custom-made bridge is attached to the posts, filling in the gaps left by your missing teeth. This creates a seamless look that blends with your natural teeth while restoring full functionality.
The procedure is typically completed over several months, allowing time for your implants to fuse with the bone, a process known as osseointegration. While the healing time varies depending on individual needs, the result is a long-lasting solution that offers superior comfort and stability compared to traditional options.
Why Choose Implant-Supported Bridges?
- Long-lasting and reliable, providing a more permanent solution
- Helps maintain jawbone health by preventing bone loss
- Offers enhanced comfort and stability over traditional bridges
- Restores natural bite and chewing function
- Preserves adjacent healthy teeth, as they are not altered to support the bridge
