About Implant Supported Bridges

An implant-supported bridge is a dental restoration that replaces multiple missing teeth by mounting a bridge onto dental implants rather than natural teeth. These bridges consist of prosthetic teeth anchored by titanium implants that are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing exceptional stability and preventing bone loss. Unlike traditional bridges that require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth, implant-supported bridges preserve natural tooth structure while offering superior strength, functionality, and aesthetics. They typically require 1-2 implants to support 3-5 replacement teeth, making them a cost-effective solution for consecutive missing teeth. With proper care and maintenance, implant-supported bridges can last significantly longer than conventional bridges, potentially providing a lifetime of reliable function and natural appearance.

Our Process For Implant Supported Bridges

At London Dental Specialists, our implant-supported bridge treatment is a structured process designed to restore your smile with precision and care. It begins with a comprehensive consultation and assessment to evaluate your oral health and discuss your specific needs. Following this, we develop a customised treatment plan tailored to your situation. The procedure involves the strategic placement of dental implants, which serve as sturdy foundations for the bridge. Once the implants have integrated with your jawbone, a custom-crafted bridge is securely attached, restoring both function and aesthetics. Post-treatment, we provide dedicated aftercare support to ensure the longevity and success of your implant-supported bridge.

The Benefits of Implant Supported Bridges

The conditions we treat for Implant Supported Bridges in London are:


  • Multiple Missing Teeth - Implant-supported bridges are ideal for patients missing several adjacent teeth, providing a stable and permanent solution without the need for individual implants for each missing tooth.

  • Bone Loss in the Jaw - Our implant-supported bridges help prevent further bone deterioration by stimulating the jawbone through osseointegration, maintaining facial structure and oral health.

  • Failed Traditional Bridges - For patients who have experienced issues with conventional dental bridges, implant-supported alternatives offer superior stability and longevity without damaging adjacent healthy teeth.

  • Compromised Chewing Function - We restore proper bite alignment and chewing ability with implant-supported bridges that function like natural teeth, allowing patients to enjoy their favourite foods again.

  • Aesthetic Concerns - Our implant-supported bridges provide natural-looking tooth replacement that enhances dental aesthetics and restores confidence in your smile.

  • Shifting Teeth - By filling gaps left by missing teeth, implant-supported bridges prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position, maintaining proper dental alignment.

  • Speech Difficulties - Missing teeth can affect pronunciation; our implant-supported bridges restore proper oral structure to improve speech clarity.

  • Periodontal Disease Complications - For patients who have lost teeth due to advanced gum disease, implant-supported bridges offer a restorative solution once periodontal health has been stabilised.

  • Premature Facial Ageing - The bone preservation properties of dental implants help maintain facial structure and prevent the sunken appearance that often accompanies tooth loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

Considering implant-supported bridges? You're not alone. Many patients seek this permanent solution for missing teeth, combining the stability of dental implants with the functionality of bridges. At London Dental Specialists, we understand you may have questions about the procedure, healing time, longevity, and success rates. Implant-supported bridges differ from traditional bridges by anchoring to titanium posts fused with your jawbone rather than relying on natural teeth for support. This innovative approach offers exceptional durability—potentially lasting a lifetime with proper care—and preserves your natural tooth structure. While the treatment requires patience during the healing process, the remarkable 94-96% success rate makes it worth considering. Below, we've answered the most common questions to help you make an informed decision about your dental health.

What is an implant-supported bridge?


An implant-supported bridge is a dental restoration that replaces multiple missing teeth by attaching a bridge to dental implants rather than natural teeth. The dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to function as artificial tooth roots. Once the implants fully integrate with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration, the custom-made bridge is securely attached to provide a stable, long-lasting tooth replacement solution.



How long do implant-supported bridges last?


With proper care and maintenance, implant-supported bridges can last 15-20 years or even a lifetime. Their longevity depends on several factors including:



  • Excellent oral hygiene practices

  • Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings

  • Avoiding habits that can damage the restoration (such as teeth grinding)

  • The quality of materials used in the bridge construction

  • The patient's overall health and lifestyle factors



What are the advantages of implant-supported bridges over traditional bridges?


Implant-supported bridges offer several advantages over traditional tooth-supported bridges:



  • They preserve jawbone density and prevent bone loss

  • No need to grind down adjacent healthy teeth for support

  • Superior stability and chewing function

  • Better aesthetics and more natural appearance

  • Longer lifespan with proper care

  • Improved oral health by preventing shifting of remaining teeth



What is the process for getting an implant-supported bridge at London Dental Specialists?


The process at London Dental Specialists typically involves:



  1. Initial consultation and comprehensive examination

  2. Treatment planning using advanced imaging technology

  3. Surgical placement of dental implants

  4. Healing period of 3-6 months for osseointegration

  5. Placement of abutments on the integrated implants

  6. Taking impressions for the custom bridge

  7. Fitting and securing the final implant-supported bridge

  8. Follow-up appointments to ensure proper function and comfort



What is the success rate of implant-supported bridges?


Implant-supported bridges have a very high success rate, typically around 95-96% over a 10-year period. This high success rate is attributed to advanced implant technology, precise surgical techniques, and proper case selection. At London Dental Specialists, our experienced team ensures optimal outcomes through comprehensive planning and expert implementation of treatment protocols.



Are implant-supported bridges suitable for everyone?


While implant-supported bridges are an excellent solution for many patients with multiple missing teeth, they may not be suitable for everyone. Ideal candidates should have:



  • Adequate jawbone density to support implants

  • Good overall health

  • Healthy gum tissue

  • Commitment to excellent oral hygiene


Patients with insufficient bone may require bone grafting procedures before implant placement. During your consultation at London Dental Specialists, our team will assess your specific situation and determine if you're a suitable candidate.



How do I care for my implant-supported bridge?


Proper care for your implant-supported bridge includes:



  • Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush

  • Daily flossing using special floss threaders or interdental brushes

  • Using an antimicrobial mouthwash as recommended

  • Attending regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings (typically every 6 months)

  • Avoiding chewing extremely hard foods that could damage the bridge

  • Wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth during sleep



What are the potential disadvantages of implant-supported bridges?


While implant-supported bridges offer numerous benefits, potential disadvantages include:



  • Longer treatment timeline (3-6 months for implant integration)

  • Higher initial cost compared to traditional bridges

  • Surgical procedure required for implant placement

  • Possible need for additional procedures like bone grafting in some cases


At London Dental Specialists, we thoroughly discuss these factors during your consultation to ensure you make an informed decision about your dental restoration options.



How much does an implant-supported bridge cost at London Dental Specialists?


The cost of an implant-supported bridge at London Dental Specialists varies depending on several factors, including:



  • Number of implants needed

  • Number of teeth being replaced

  • Need for additional procedures (bone grafting, etc.)

  • Materials used for the final restoration


During your consultation, we provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing. While the initial investment is higher than traditional bridges, many patients find the long-term benefits and durability make implant-supported bridges a cost-effective solution over time.
