Implant bridges in London

Replacing multiple missing teeth

Losing several teeth in a row changes how you eat and speak, and a removable denture that slips turns every meal into something to manage. Within our dental implants in London service, an implant bridge gives a fixed structure that does not move. Dr Ope Sodeinde assesses your bone density and gum health, and the assessment sets the number of implants needed to carry your bridge.

Bridge planning in Primrose Hill

The assessment establishes the cost and expected lifespan of your restoration and lets Dr Ope Sodeinde choose the most suitable of the implant systems we place for your bone. Where bone or gum has been lost, we set out the options for implants with receding gums so the bridge sits securely and looks natural. The bridge is planned against your bite so it loads the implants evenly.

Who can benefit from implant bridges

An implant bridge suits patients missing two or more adjacent teeth who have enough bone at each end of the gap for an implant. Dr Ope Sodeinde examines the bone and gum to confirm this. If a whole arch is missing, All-on-4 full-arch implants are the alternative. You can view patient cases and stories to see how these restorations function in practice.

Your path to a bridge restoration

Bridge design and planning

Dr Ope Sodeinde works out how many implants the span needs to carry the force of biting and chewing, and where each one sits in the bone.

Surgical implant placement

The titanium posts are placed in the jawbone under local anaesthetic. You can read about the implant procedure step by step. In some cases we can fit a provisional bridge at placement as same-day dental implants, which reduces the number of visits.

Osseointegration period

The bone fuses with the implants over several months. We check the site before the final bridge is attached.

Custom bridge fabrication

The bridge is made to match your natural teeth in colour and shape, then fixed to the implants.

Final bridge fitting

The bridge is fitted at our Primrose Hill practice and the bite and alignment are checked and adjusted.

Care is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, specialist periodontist, who owns London Dental Specialists and is registered as a specialist in periodontics (GDC No. 104071).

Common concerns about bridge restorations

How much do implant bridges cost?

The cost follows the number of implants and the span of the bridge, so we quote it after assessing your bone and the gap. You can compare it with single and multiple tooth implants if each tooth were replaced individually.

How long do implant bridges last?

The lifespan depends on how well the implants integrate and on your oral hygiene afterwards. For implants we place, we offer a 10-year implant warranty, subject to its written conditions.

Which implant bridges do you use?

We use Straumann and can provide any brand. The system and the bridge material are chosen for your clinical needs, and we explain the properties of each option at your planning appointment.

What is the difference between implant bridges?

Bridges differ in the number of implants supporting them and the span they replace. Some use two implants to carry three or four crowns; longer spans need more. We decide the configuration by measuring your available bone and space.

Your bridge assessment

Cost is the first thing most people ask about, and a diagnosis-first approach means you get an itemised quote before any treatment begins. To find out whether a bridge suits you, book a consultation to see what the £195 fee includes. Dr Ope Sodeinde will assess your bone levels and confirm whether grafting is needed before the implants. Sedation is available if you are anxious.

Further implant guidance

Related reading covers the implant systems we place, single and multiple tooth implants, All-on-4 full-arch implants, same-day dental implants, and implants with receding gums. Dr Ope Sodeinde and the team can talk through these options, and through sedation, at your assessment. Book your consultation.

The consultation ends with a written plan and an itemised quote for your implant bridge, yours to keep and use at any practice. It includes in-mouth x-rays and a complimentary second appointment to discuss the plan before you decide.

The £195 consultation fee goes towards the cost of any treatment you choose to have with us; it is not an extra on top. Local anaesthetic is standard and sedation is available.
