Implant Supported Fixed Bridge
The effects of losing your teeth can be devastating. There is a way to recover your missing teeth and regain the self-confidence that comes with smile. Full mouth dental implants are implants used if you are missing all of your teeth. One of the procedures that can be done is called implant supported fixed bridge.
The procedure for implant supported fixed bridge takes more time than a single implant. Most cases you will have multiple implants placed into your jaw bone. It will take about 2 to 6 months for the implants to bond and to form an anchor for your bridge. You will have to anticipate about 8-10 office visits. The amount of visits all depends on each case and specific conditions. You will be wearing temporary teeth while the implants are healing. The second part of this procedure is necessary to uncover the implants and attach extensions. These steps allow a foundation for the new teeth to be placed. Most patients have reported that the procedure was much more comfortable than they had thought it would be.
A fixed bridge on implants is a great permanent solution. The bridge is completely customized to each patient’s needs and situation. This implant supported bridge is non removable from the mouth by the patient. It is also palateless which means nothing will be covering the roof of your mouth. You can replace a full set of missing teeth with dental implants and a fixed bridge. This creates a natural highly esthetic look and is a stable permanent fix to missing teeth. This procedure will let you eat and function like having natural teeth. It also preserves your facial appearance and prevents bone loss. Before dental implants there was no other fixed bridge solution for missing teeth, with the advancement in modern dentistry it is now possible to replace a full set of teeth. Dental implants with a fixed bridge offer a permanent, reliable, secure, natural looking, and beautiful solution. We feel that the fixed bridge implant is the leading oral restoration procedure in replacing a full set of missing teeth.
