Benefits
With Fixed Bridge on Implants:
In this case, when replacing three
teeth in the far back of the mouth, a fixed
bridge anchored to dental implants is the
only fixed alternative. Traditional dentures
can't offer the same stability or function.
Having dental implants replacing your
lost back teeth will give you new,
unparalleled strength and stability that
allows you to eat what you want. It will
also preserve your jawbone and facial appearance.
- The only fixed alternative in this
situation.
- A stable, secure solution that lets
you eat what you want
- Preserves your facial appearance and
prevents bone loss
Treatment:
After the initial examination, you can
expect 4-5 additional visits until the
final fixed bridge is permanently attached.
It is normal to experience some minor
bruising and swelling in the gum and
soft tissue afterwards. Any discomfort
is usually treated with an ordinary painkiller.
You should expect to be able to work
the next day.
- Immediately functioning
teeth
- Excellent esthetic result
- Life long, stable solution
Course of Treatment
Installing
the Fixed Bridge- Step-By-Step:
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
Three teeth at back end of
the mouth are missing. The
only real replacement alternative
is installing a fixed bridge.
The bridge contains all teeth
in one piece and is anchored
on dental implants. |
 |
2:
Installing the Implant
First, the implants
are installed. This is normally
done in a single session. A temporary
bridge may be placed at the same
time, making it possible for
you to function like normal almost
immediately after leaving the
dentist. |
 |
3:
Attaching the Bridge
The implants need to integrate
with the jawbone before the
permanent bridge is attached.
This is normally done 1-2
months after the implant
installation. The time will
vary, depending on the teeth
affected and the esthetical
demands. |
 |
4:
End result
The
new bridge
will handle
all the pressure
that your strong,
natural back
teeth did.
You will have
a stable and
secure solution
that allows
you to eat
what you want. |
Alternatives To An All-Ceramic Crown
On Implant:
 |
Removable
Partial Denture
This
alternative
is often perceived
as uncomfortable
and a bit complicated
to use. Function
can’t
be compared
to that of
a bridge. This
denture is
made of plastic
and metal,
which affects
its look. It
is quite expensive
to fabricate
due to its
many parts.
However, the
installation
process is
simple, and
natural teeth
are spared. |
