Implant bridge

About the treatment

An implant bridge joins several replacement teeth in one restoration. Supports are planned at selected points; each missing tooth does not necessarily require its own implant.

When might it be considered?

It may suit several adjacent missing teeth. The gap length, biting forces and access for cleaning beneath the bridge are considered.

How is treatment planned?

Planning determines implant positions according to bone, available space and bite forces. After placement and integration, impressions are taken for the bridge. The try-in checks implant fit, speech, appearance and chewing contacts. The bridge is secured using the chosen fixing method, and you are shown how to clean beneath it with appropriate tools.

Aftercare and limitations

The area beneath the bridge needs suitable cleaning aids. Bite changes, cracks or movement need review. Prosthetic components may require maintenance even when the implants remain stable.

Timing and costs

Your plan and quotation are determined after examination. Complexity, materials, preliminary treatment and follow-up visits affect timing and cost. Ask for a written plan explaining what is included.

Questions about this treatment

How do I clean beneath the bridge?

The team shows you aids suited to your restoration’s spaces; cleaning the visible surfaces alone is not enough.

Is the bridge removed every night?

A fixed implant bridge differs from a removable denture. Attachment, cleaning and maintenance are explained for the specific restoration.

What if the bridge feels loose?

Request a professional review. Movement can involve connecting components or other factors; avoid attempting repairs or tightening it yourself.
