Implant Supported Dental Bridge
A Permanent Solution to Multiple Missing Teeth at Affinity Dental Clinics
Losing several teeth in a row can affect far more than your smile. It impacts how you chew, speak, and feel about yourself. While traditional bridges and removable dentures have long been used to address this problem, modern implant dentistry has redefined the standard of care. The Implant Supported Bridge offers a superior, fixed solution for replacing two or more missing teeth in a row — without compromising the health of surrounding natural teeth.
At Affinity Dental Clinics, we specialize in implant-based solutions, and the Implant Supported Bridge is one of our most trusted treatments for restoring multiple adjacent teeth. Backed by nearly two decades of surgical experience and an in-house dental laboratory, our multi-specialty team ensures each bridge is designed for strength, aesthetics, and long-term success.
What is an Implant Supported Bridge?
An Implant Supported Bridge is a type of dental restoration that uses two or more dental implants to support a fixed bridge that replaces multiple missing teeth. Unlike traditional bridges, which require shaving down adjacent healthy teeth, implant-supported bridges are self-sustaining — they integrate into your jawbone and provide unmatched stability and function.
Example:
If you are missing three teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge may involve placing two implants (on either end) with three crowns forming a bridge above them. This approach avoids unnecessary damage to nearby healthy teeth and preserves the bone beneath the implants.
Why Choose an Implant Supported Dental Bridge?
Patients often ask why they should choose a dental implant bridge over removable partial dentures or conventional tooth-supported bridges. Here are the reasons our patients prefer it:
Implant bridges are firmly anchored into the jaw, providing superior chewing force and eliminating the movement or slippage often experienced with removable appliances.
Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss and facial collapse that can occur after tooth loss.
Unlike traditional bridges, an implant bridge does not require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth for support.
With proper care, implant-supported bridges can last 15 years or longer, often outperforming conventional solutions.
Especially when made with custom zirconia, implant bridges are indistinguishable from natural teeth in both look and feel.
Who Is a Candidate for Implant Supported Dentures?
One of the main reasons patients choose us is our expertise in fabricating high-end zirconia bridges. Zirconia offers exceptional strength, natural translucency, and biocompatibility. It resists wear, does not stain easily, and is less likely to cause allergic reactions compared to metal.
Our in-house dental laboratory plays a major role here. Using the latest CAD/CAM software, 3D scanners, zirconia milling machines, and layering techniques, we produce implant bridges that are:
• Digital intraoral scanners for accurate modeling
• Twilight Sedation, administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist, to make surgery comfortable and anxiety-free
This level of detail and customization is difficult to achieve when outsourcing to third-party labs— and that’s why our patients consistently report higher satisfaction.
Ideal Candidates for an Implant Supported Dental Bridge
You may be a suitable candidate if:
Our team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation using digital X-rays and Cone Beam CT Scans to assess your eligibility and customize your treatment plan.
What to Expect at Affinity Dental Clinics
We begin with a comprehensive assessment using Cone Beam CT for precise bone and nerve mapping. Our Oral Surgeons and Implantologists collaborate to design your custom treatment plan.
Two or more implants are placed under local anesthesia or Twilight Sedation. Healing time varies based on bone quality, but ranges from 3 to 6 months.
Once implants integrate with your bone, we take impressions and our in-house dental lab fabricates a personalized zirconia bridge using CAD/CAM technology.
The bridge is securely attached to your implants, and bite adjustments are made to ensure a comfortable, natural fit.
We schedule follow-ups and use AirFlow technology for professional cleaning. Patients are educated on home hygiene to protect the implants and surrounding gum tissue.
