An Innovative Approach to Replacing Multiple Teeth
At the Djawdan Center for Implant and Restorative Dentistry, we specialize in implant-supported bridges as a more functional solution than partial dentures. Unlike partial dentures, which may slip or cause discomfort, implant-supported bridges are anchored securely to dental implants placed in the jawbone. This anchorage provides superior stability and mimics the natural function of tooth roots, making them an ideal solution for replacing a few missing teeth. They offer enhanced comfort and performance, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
What are Implant-Supported Bridges?
Implant-supported bridges consist of a series of artificial teeth that are anchored by dental implants rather than relying on adjacent natural teeth for support. This method not only preserves the remaining natural teeth by avoiding the need to file them down but also provides a foundation that promotes bone retention and stability, further preventing the facial structure changes often associated with tooth loss.
The Benefits of Choosing Implant-Supported Bridges:
• Enhanced Stability and Comfort: Unlike traditional bridges, implant-supported bridges are anchored directly to the jawbone, offering exceptional stability and comfort without the issues associated with partial dentures.
• Preservation of Natural Teeth: This method does not require altering the adjacent natural teeth, preserving your existing dental structure.
• Aesthetic and Functional: Designed to look and function like natural teeth, these bridges enhance both the aesthetics of your smile and your overall dental health.
• Durability and Longevity: Implant-supported bridges are built to last, providing a long-term solution for missing teeth with the potential to last a lifetime with proper care.
Our Process: Detailed and Patient-Centric
1. Comprehensive Evaluation: Your treatment begins with a thorough evaluation, including advanced 3D imaging to assess the health of your jawbone and the precise placement for the implants.
2. Implant Placement: Dental implants are surgically placed in the jawbone at the positions of the missing teeth. These serve as the anchors for the bridge.
3. Healing and Integration: After placement, a period of healing is required for the implants to integrate with the bone, a process that typically takes a few months.
4. Fabrication and Fitting: Once healed, our in-office dental lab crafts your custom bridge, ensuring it matches the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a seamless look.
5. Final Restoration: Once integration is complete, the custom-made bridge is securely attached to the implants, restoring full functionality and aesthetics to your smile.
