For a comfortable, long-lasting replacement for a missing tooth or teeth, implant-retained bridges might be the answer.

Designed to replace anywhere from just one missing tooth to several missing teeth, implant-retained bridges are made up of a metal support structure and a prosthetic tooth or teeth that are usually made from porcelain. In this way the false teeth are held in place with implants, making them more stable, secure, and comfortable than more traditional bridges.

FAQs

What is the treatment process like?

Like other implant treatments, you can expect the application of your implant retained bridge to take place over two or more appointments and several months. We’ll always start with an initial consultation where we’ll determine if you’re a suitable candidate for an implant – this is usually done via X-ray or CT scan.

Then, when we’ve established this is the correct treatment for you, you’ll come into the practice to have the implant placed in the jaw. This requires local anaesthetic and then leads to a wait of a few months while we allow time for the jaw and implant to fuse, as well as for the site to heal. Once the implant has completely integrated and fused with the bone, your teeth are ready to be restored and your bridge can be placed.

Why choose an implant-retained bridge?

We’ll always go through all your options with you when it comes to replacing a tooth or teeth. In consultation, we’ll be able to offer help and advice according to your particular oral health needs as well as your smile ambitions. Implant-retained bridges aren’t suitable for every patient, but they do offer a very stable and secure replacement option and can help enhance a smile with their natural-looking finish.
