Implant-supported bridges come with numerous advantages:

• Natural Look and Feel: These bridges mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, offering comfort and functionality superior to traditional bridges. You can chew and speak with confidence, knowing your teeth are secure.
• Durability: Anchored directly to dental implants, these bridges are more durable and long-lasting than their traditional counterparts. You won't have to worry about your bridge loosening or falling out.
• Prevents Bone Loss: Tooth loss can lead to jawbone deterioration, which may alter your facial structure. Implant-supported bridges stimulate the jawbone and promote bone growth, helping to preserve your natural face shape.
• Improved Oral Health: Traditional bridges require filing down adjacent teeth, which can compromise their integrity. Implant-supported bridges don’t require any alterations to your natural teeth, thus preserving your oral health.
• Enhanced Quality of Life: Missing teeth can make eating difficult and affect your self-esteem. Implant-supported bridges restore your smile and confidence, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and activities without worry.
  

Implant-supported bridge placement involves a detailed and patient-friendly process:

1. Exam and Consultation: Dr. Hsue at West Valley Dental will assess your oral health, including teeth, gums, and jawbone, to determine if you’re a good candidate for this procedure. This initial consultation will address your health history, goals, and any questions you might have.
2. Implant Placement: Depending on your needs, one or more titanium screws will be inserted into your jawbone. This foundation will need some time to heal and integrate with your bone, a process known as osseointegration.
3. Abutment Placement: Once healing is complete, an abutment is attached to each implant. This piece connects the dental implants to the bridge.
4. Bridge Placement: A custom-made bridge, designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, is then securely attached to the abutments.
5. Recovery: The recovery phase is crucial for ensuring the success of the implant. It may involve some rest and a specific care regimen, including proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
6. Post-Placement Care: We will guide you on how to care for your new bridge, likely recommending special cleaning tools to keep the bridge and surrounding teeth pristine.

Implant-supported bridges offer superior benefits compared to traditional dental bridges, such as a more natural appearance, increased durability, and enhanced oral health. They can significantly improve your quality of life by restoring both function and confidence.
