What Is An Implant Supported Bridge?
An implant-supported bridge is a dental restoration similar to a regular dental bridge, but it is supported by dental implants instead of natural teeth. This type of bridge is often used when multiple teeth are missing. Here’s how it works:
1. Implant Placement: One implant is typically placed in the jawbone for each missing tooth. These implants act as artificial roots, providing a strong and stable foundation.
2. Bridge Formation: After the implants have integrated with the jawbone, crowns are attached to the implants. These crowns are connected to form one continuous piece, creating a bridge.
Benefits of an Implant-Supported Bridge
1. Enhanced Stability: Since the bridge is supported by implants, it offers greater stability and strength than traditional bridges that rely on natural teeth.
2. Preserve Natural Teeth: Unlike regular dental bridges, implant-supported bridges do not require the grinding down of adjacent healthy teeth, preserving the natural tooth structure.
3. Improved Functionality: An implant-supported bridge restores the ability to chew and speak properly, enhancing overall oral function.
4. Maintains Jawbone Health: Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure.
5. Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, an implant-supported bridge can last many years, providing a durable and reliable solution for missing teeth.
