Implant Supported Bridges

In this section, we discuss a bridge attached to, or supported by one or more implants. As discussed in the Implant Dentistry section earlier, the use of dental implants to secure a fixed partial denture (a bridge) ensures that you get optimal functionality from the prosthetic teeth as well as reduction in the resorbtion of the bone. Additionally, not having the bridge attached to the adjacent, natural teeth eliminates the need to prepare them and reduces the stress placed on them. Undue stress can occasionally cause problems and adversely affect the overall oral health.

For patients with missing teeth, implant crowns can offer a comfortable, natural-looking solution with many critical benefits. It offers an attractive, functional, and long-term solution by providing an implant-supported bridge that would not require support from your healthy, surrounding teeth.  Implant Crowns are also extremely stable, and you can be confident that they will stay in place while you eat, speak, and smile.  With proper care, your implant crowns can last a lifetime and facilitate long-term oral health.

If you have lost multiple teeth, an implant crown may be the right solution. Talk about your solution with Dr. Shaw today. Call us today.
