Implant-retained bridges: Restore your smile with confidence.

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.

What are Implant-retained bridges?

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.

Key benefits

  1. Enhanced stability: Implant-retained bridges offer unparalleled stability and support, ensuring you can chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
  2. Improved aesthetics: The bridges are meticulously designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing your smile’s appearance.
  3. Preserved jawbone health: Dental implants help preserve the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
  4. Longevity and durability: Implant-retained bridges are a durable, long-term solution that can last a lifetime with proper care.

The procedure

  1. Consultation and assessment: Our skilled team will conduct a thorough examination and discuss your oral health history to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for implant-retained bridges.
  2. Treatment planning: A personalised treatment plan will be created based on your unique needs, considering factors such as the number of missing teeth and the condition of your jawbone.
  3. Implant placement: Dental implants will be surgically placed into the jawbone to act as stable anchors for the bridge.
  4. Bridge design and fabrication: Customised bridges will be designed to match the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a seamless look.
  5. Bridge attachment: Once the implants have integrated with the jawbone, the bridge will be securely attached to the implants, completing your smile restoration.

Aftercare and maintenance

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.

FAQs

How does an implant retained bridge differ from a traditional bridge?

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.

How long does the procedure take for an implant retained bridge?

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.

How do I care for an implant retained bridge?

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.

How long do implant retained bridges last?

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.

Is the procedure painful?

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.

What are the benefits of implant retained bridges?

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.
