What Is an Implant Bridge?
In this video, Dr. Ruedi Tillmann explains implant bridges, their advantages, and how they combine the benefits of dental implants and traditional bridges. Patients in Ogden and Greater Salt Lake City are encouraged to contact our Kaysville office for a free consultation to explore this durable option.
If you are missing teeth on one side of your mouth, an excellent solution is to place two implants and create an implant-supported bridge. This approach mimics having two natural teeth and provides a durable and functional replacement.
Here’s how it works:
1. Placement of Implants: Two implants are placed side by side with a small space between them, acting as anchors for the bridge.
2. Fabrication of the Bridge: A prosthetic bridge is custom-designed to fit securely onto the implants. This bridge replaces the missing teeth and is permanently fixed in place.
3. Functionality and Durability: Once completed, the bridge functions like natural teeth, allowing you to chew a wide variety of foods comfortably and effectively.
This solution is highly successful and long-lasting. It restores both function and aesthetics, giving you a permanent option that looks and feels like your natural teeth. Implant-supported bridges are a reliable and transformative choice for replacing missing teeth on one side of the mouth.
