Unlike traditional bridges, which are anchored to neighbouring teeth, an implant retained bridge is supported by dental implants inserted directly into the jawbone. This provides greater stability and preserves the surrounding teeth.
Here at Knighton Dental, we understand the impact of a missing tooth or multiple teeth on your confidence and oral health. Our implant-retained bridges are a reliable and long-lasting solution to restore your smile and regain your quality of life.
Implant-retained bridges are custom-crafted dental prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth by anchoring them to dental implants. Dental implants act as sturdy, artificial tooth roots, providing a secure foundation for the bridge.
Regular dental check-ups and proper oral hygiene are essential to ensure the longevity and functionality of your implant-retained bridge. Our team will provide guidance on how to care for and maintain your new smile.
Don’t let missing teeth hold you back. Schedule a consultation at Knighton Dental to explore how implant-retained bridges can transform your smile and improve your quality of life.
Unlike traditional bridges, which are anchored to neighbouring teeth, an implant retained bridge is supported by dental implants inserted directly into the jawbone. This provides greater stability and preserves the surrounding teeth.
The process typically takes several months from start to finish. This includes the time for placing the implants, allowing them to fuse with the bone (which may take 3-6 months), and then attaching the bridge once the implants have fully integrated.
Caring for an implant retained bridge is similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental cleanings are essential to maintain the health of the bridge and the implants supporting it.
With proper care, implant retained bridges can last many years. The implants themselves can last a lifetime, while the bridge may need to be replaced after 10-15 years depending on wear and tear.
The implant placement is done under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort or swelling can occur post-surgery, but this can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief and should subside after a few days.
Implant retained bridges offer several benefits, including greater stability, improved appearance and function, the preservation of jawbone density, and no need to alter or rely on adjacent healthy teeth.
