Services: Dental Implants: Full Implant Bridge
Full Arch Dental Implants with Fixed Bridges
Having fixed bridges on dental implants is similiar to having new teeth roots with bridges anchored on dental implants. The number of dental implants recommended will be dependent on bone condition.
Installing Implant Bridge
The course of treatment described here is one of several options available. Consult your dentist to find out what the best solution is for you, given your specific condition.
1: Before the procedure
All teeth on jaw are missing. The alternatives for full arch dental implants cases is either installing a fixed bridge or overdentures.
2: Installing the implants
First, the implants are installed. The number of implants placed is dependent on bone condition and the implantologist judgement. If conventional implants are done, temporary dentures can be opted to be made or your old dentures may be worn that enable you to eat and function while the implants are left to heal and integrate with the jaw bone.
3: Attaching the bridge
The implants need to integrate with the jawbone before the permanent fixed bridge is attached. This is normally done 3-6 months after the implant installation for a full arch case. The time will vary, depending on bone condition.
4: End result
The new bridge provides a stable and secure solution that allows you to eat what you want.
