Replace Your Missing Teeth With Dental Implants
Replace Your Missing Teeth With Dental Implants
Fixed Implant Bridges are dental prosthetic devices designed to replace multiple missing teeth in a patient’s mouth. Unlike traditional dental bridges that rely on natural teeth for support, these bridges are anchored by dental implants. This modern solution is popular, successful, and highly effective for those seeking a stable and permanent restoration for their lost teeth.
When several teeth in a row are missing, fixed implant bridges offer an excellent option. Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a foundation, sometimes where there is less bone a graft can be placed. Porcelain restorations, resembling natural teeth, are attached to these implants. This setup mimics the function and appearance of natural teeth, allowing you to chew food and smile with confidence.
Besides restoring functionality and aesthetics, fixed implant bridges help preserve the jawbone and surrounding teeth, maintaining the shape of your smile and preventing future dental issues. They are considered the most ideal restoration method when multiple teeth are missing.
Unlike removable bridges (partial dentures) that need to be taken out for cleaning, fixed implant bridges are permanently attached to dental implants. This provides a worry-free solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth.

Patient Testimonial
Here’s How Fixed Implant Bridges Work:
Dental implants are placed for support. Dental implants are like posts that are embedded into jawbone.
Once implanted, the posts integrate with the bone through a process known as osseointegration, offering a robust foundation for the bridge. These implants are entirely surrounded by bone.
1
Abutments
Once the dental implants have healed and integrated with the bone, a process that usually takes several months, abutments are fixed to the implants. Abutments are connecting posts that are attached to the implant body, which remains hidden within the bone. They extend above the gum line and provide a core for the bridge.
2
Bridge Construction
The bridge is a bespoke prosthesis made up of artificial teeth designed to fill the gaps left by missing teeth. It is usually crafted from ceramic materials like zirconia to closely resemble natural teeth. These artificial teeth look remarkably realistic and can be custom designed to achieve any desired characteristics. They can be tailored to your preferences in terms of tooth size, shape, colour, and other specific details.
3
Attachment
The bridge is firmly secured to the abutments with screws. Once fitted, it becomes a permanent fixture in your mouth and cannot be removed by yourself. Should removal be necessary, only a dentist can perform this. The bridge is strong and stable, providing not only comfortable chewing but also the confidence to enjoy foods you may have avoided for years due to dental issues.
What Are The
Benefits of
Fixed Bridges?
1- A long-lasting solution that maintains the structure of surrounding teeth.
With proper care and maintenance, implant-supported bridges can last for many years, often decades.
2- Stability
Fixed Bridges can withstand the force of normal biting and chewing. They are highly stable and function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
3- Comfort
If you’re missing all teeth on a given arch (all uppers or all lowers) you will find them more comfortable than removable dentures since they are firmly anchored in the mouth.
4- Oral Health
Fixed implant bridges do not rely on adjacent natural teeth for support, which means neighbouring teeth do not need to be altered or prepared.
5- Fixed Implant Bridges look, feel and function like healthy natural teeth.
They are designed to look natural and blend seamlessly with the remaining teeth.
6- Confidence
Implant bridges restore your ability to eat normally, to talk and to smile without worrying about your dental prosthetic becoming loose or falling out.
7- Bone preservation
Bone loss around the jawbone often occurs when teeth are missing. Dental implants help prevent this by providing structure.
8- Affordability
Rather than replacing every missing tooth with an implant, this treatment option is an alternative and more affordable solution. Talk to us regarding our payment plans.

What Is The
Treatment Process
Like?
The process for receiving fixed implant bridges encompasses several stages and can span from a few months to several months. The duration varies based on factors such as the number of teeth being replaced, the amount of bone available, the number of implants required to support the bridge, and whether the implants will be placed in a single session or in two phases for temporary purposes, which is often necessary for full-arch cases. Typically, 3-4 teeth can be replaced with just 2 implants. For a full arch, 4-8 implants might be needed, depending on individual circumstances that will be thoroughly discussed with you prior to starting treatment. Here is an overview of the general treatment process:
1
Initial Evaluation
Your journey to dental implants begins with an initial evaluation. During this consultation, our team will assess your oral health, considering factors such as bone density, overall health, and oral hygiene. We will also take X-rays and sometimes a CBCT scan to gain a comprehensive understanding of your oral condition. This step is essential in determining the feasibility of the procedure. We believe in personalised care, so we will discuss various treatment options and work together to choose the one that best meets your unique needs and desires.
2
Planning For Your Prosthesis
Following the initial assessment, we create detailed records of your mouth. This includes taking photographs, precise jaw measurements, and other necessary data. These records are crucial in planning the fabrication of your temporary prosthesis. We ensure all your questions are addressed, provide you with the necessary prescriptions and post-operative instructions, and schedule your surgery for a smooth process.
3
Implant Placement: Restoring Your Smile
The next stage involves placing the implants. During this procedure, any necessary extractions are performed, and the implants are placed, often on the same day. We minimise discomfort and ensure a comfortable experience by using local anaesthesia and sedation where required. The implants are then given time to heal and integrate with the jawbone over the course of a few months. In the meantime, you will have temporary teeth to maintain your smile and functionality.
4
Abutment Placement: Connecting Implants and Prosthesis
Abutments (the connector pieces between the implants and the bridge) may be placed during the initial surgery or at a subsequent appointment, depending on the stability of the implants.
5
Healing Period
Once your implants have healed and fully integrated with your jawbone, we will take final impressions. At this stage, we work closely with you to capture your preferences for smile design, including tooth shape, shade, and any desired characterisations. Your input is invaluable as we custom-make your new smile. Once the final impressions are taken, the case is sent to our lab for the fabrication of your permanent prosthesis. During this period, we refine your temporary teeth to ensure your comfort and satisfaction.
