If you have multiple missing teeth and wish to restore the appearance andfunctionality of your mouth, an implant-supported bridge might be a viable solution.

Dental implants can provide a stable and long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. Treatment typically involves several appointments to complete.

By mimicking the structure of a tooth's root, dental implants allow for replacing multiple missing teeth when placing multiple implants for individual restorations may not be possible.

Treatment starts with an intraoral scanner generating detailed 3D images to aid implant placement and the final restoration's design.

Next, the area is prepared for placing the dental implants surgically into the bone with special healing caps.

A temporary restoration can be added while you heal. Your doctor will discuss the best options for your situation.

On subsequent visits, your doctor will monitor the healing process and let you know when the area is ready for further treatment.

Once the area has healed, the healing caps are removed, and posts are placed in the implants.

Another intraoral scan is taken to create abutments, which serve as the foundation for the bridge.

Once the abutments are prepared, they are placed into the implants, and another scan is performed to create the final bridge design.

When the bridge is ready, your doctor will make any necessary adjustments and securely fix it.

This is one of several methods of creating an implant bridge that will restore your teeth to optimal shape and functionality why stabilizing, protecting, and preserving the surrounding teeth and tissues.

Your doctor can discuss with you the best way to design and fabricate your bridge based on the latest techniques and technology, as well as your unique treatment needs.
