Implant-Supported Bridges: An Optimal Solution for Replacing Multiple Teeth
Tooth loss can have a significant impact on the quality of life, affecting not only the aesthetic appearance of the smile but also the functionality of chewing and speaking. Fortunately, there are now effective solutions to replace missing teeth and regain a radiant smile and optimal functionality. Among these, implant-supported bridges present themselves as an alternative of choice.
What is an Implant-Supported Bridge?
Implant-supported bridges are a tooth replacement solution that differs from traditional dental bridges in their method of attachment. Unlike a conventional dental bridge that relies on the adjacent natural teeth, an implant-supported bridge is fixed to two or more dental implants, thus avoiding the preparation (trimming) of the neighboring natural teeth to receive crowns and reducing the stress that can be damaging to them.
Thanks to the natural appearance and feel of porcelain and the functional stability provided by the implants, implant-supported bridges are an effective solution for replacing multiple missing teeth.
Advantages of Implant-Supported Bridges
Using dental implants to secure a fixed partial denture (a bridge) offers optimal functionality of the prosthetic teeth as well as a reduction in bone resorption. Moreover, the fact that the bridge is not attached to the adjacent natural teeth eliminates the need to prepare them and reduces the stress they experience. Excessive stress can sometimes cause problems and harm overall oral health.
In summary, implant-supported bridges represent a comfortable, aesthetic, and advantageous solution for patients suffering from tooth loss. It is an attractive, functional, and long-term solution that does not require the support of the surrounding healthy teeth.
