Implant Bridges

Traditional bridges are held in place by cemented crowns on either side of the gap that needs to be filled. And as conventional bridges require the adjoining teeth to be crowned to support the bridge, healthy teeth need to be filed down unnecessarily.

However, we can avoid this invasive process with implant-supported bridges and leave your natural teeth intact and preserved.

• Dental implants are better for your oral health.
• Bone in the jaw is better preserved with implants.
• With traditional bridges, the bone surrounding the tooth resorbs over time.
• The cement holding the bridge in place can wash out and wear over time.
• Bacteria on traditional bridges can decay teeth more easily.

If you have missing teeth in a row, you will likely be a perfect candidate for bridgework.

However, to secure the bridge with implants, you will be required to have enough jawbone to hold the titanium posts securely.

During your free implant consultation, we will assess the mouth’s condition and your jawbone mass – this will tell us if you are ready to have implants immediately or require pre-implant procedures like bone grafts.

Here at Maida Smiles, our implant technology is so enhanced that we can digitally plan the implant site and angulation before placement – this means we can achieve even better results before.
