Benefits of Dental Bridges

In this case, when replacing three teeth in the far back of the mouth, a fixed bridge anchored to dental implants is the only fixed alternative. Traditional dentures can’t offer the same stability or function.

Having dental implants replacing your lost back teeth will give you new, unparalleled strength and stability that allows you to eat what you want. It will also preserve your jawbone and facial appearance.

• The only fixed alternative in this situation
• A stable, secure solution that lets you eat what you want
• Preserves your facial appearance and prevents bone loss

How Dental Bridges Work

Installing the Fixed Bridge – Step-by-Step

The course of treatment described here is one of several options available. We can help you find out what the best solution is for you, given your specific condition.

1. Before the procedure: Three teeth at back end of the mouth are missing. The only real replacement alternative is installing a fixed bridge. The bridge contains all teeth in one place and is anchored on dental implants.

2. Installing the implant: First, the implants are installed. This is normally done in a single session.

3. Attaching the bridge: The implants need to integrate with the jawbone before the permanent bridge is attached. This is normally done 4 months after the implant installation. The time will vary, depending on the teeth affected and the esthetical demands.

4. End result: The new bridge will handle all the pressure that your strong, natural back teeth did. You will have a stable and secure solution that allows you to eat what you want.
