Implant-Supported Bridges

An implant-supported bridge replaces several missing teeth in a row by anchoring a fixed bridge to dental implants rather than relying on natural teeth for support. Because the bridge is secured to the jawbone through the implants, it can restore chewing function and a natural appearance without the need for a removable device. Patients often consider this option after losing multiple adjacent teeth, or when they want an alternative to a removable partial denture.

How We Approach Treatment

Dr. Adam Salm, Dr. Jed Kanner, and Dr. Hayley Grandeau evaluate the health of the jawbone and surrounding teeth before recommending an implant-supported bridge, and discuss how it compares to other replacement options such as bridges, dentures, or implant-supported dentures.

Technology That Supports Planning

Digital X-Rays — give a clear view of the jawbone and remaining teeth to help plan implant placement.
Intraoral Scanner — captures a precise digital impression of your bite, replacing traditional molds when designing the bridge.
Digital Shade Matching — helps the finished bridge blend in with your natural tooth color.

What to Expect

Treatment typically involves placing implants, allowing time for healing, and then fitting the custom bridge. Our team will walk you through each stage and answer questions about care and maintenance along the way.
