Restore Your Missing Teeth with Dental Implants
Restore Your Missing Teeth with Dental Implants
Fixed implant bridges are prosthetic devices crafted to replace several missing teeth within a patient’s mouth. Unlike traditional dental bridges that depend on natural teeth for support, these bridges are secured by dental implants. This contemporary solution is widely favoured for its success and effectiveness, offering a stable and permanent restoration for missing teeth.
When multiple adjacent teeth are missing, fixed implant bridges provide a highly effective solution. Dental implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone to serve as a stable foundation. If there is insufficient bone, a graft may be used to support the implants. Porcelain restorations that closely resemble natural teeth are then affixed to the implants. This arrangement replicates both the function and appearance of your natural teeth, enabling you to chew comfortably and smile with assurance.
In addition to restoring both function and appearance, fixed implant bridges help preserve the jawbone and adjacent teeth, maintaining the shape of your smile and preventing future dental complications. They are widely regarded as the optimal solution for replacing multiple missing teeth.
Unlike removable bridges (partial dentures) that require removal for cleaning, fixed implant bridges are securely attached to dental implants. This offers a hassle-free solution that mimics the appearance, feel, and function of natural teeth.

Patient Testimonial
Here’s How Fixed Implant Bridges Function:
Dental implants are inserted for support. They function like posts that are embedded into the jawbone.
Once inserted, the posts fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong base for the bridge. The implants become fully encased in bone.
1
Abutments
After the dental implants have fully healed and integrated with the bone, a process that typically takes several months, abutments are attached to the implants. Abutments are connecting posts that link to the implant body, which remains concealed within the bone. They extend above the gum line and serve as the foundation for the bridge.
2
Bridge Construction
The bridge is a custom-made prosthesis consisting of artificial teeth designed to fill the spaces left by missing teeth. Typically crafted from ceramic materials such as zirconia, it closely mimics the appearance of natural teeth. These artificial teeth are highly realistic and can be tailored to meet your individual preferences regarding tooth size, shape, colour, and other specific details.
3
Attachment
The bridge is securely attached to the abutments using screws. Once in place, it becomes a permanent part of your mouth and cannot be removed independently. If removal is required, only a dentist will be able to perform this procedure. The bridge is designed to be both robust and stable, offering comfortable chewing and restoring your confidence to enjoy foods you may have previously avoided due to dental concerns.
What Are The
Advantages of
Fixed Bridges?
1. A durable solution that preserves the integrity of surrounding teeth.
With proper care and maintenance, implant-supported bridges can provide a long-lasting solution, often remaining effective for many years, even decades.
2- Stability
Fixed bridges are designed to endure the pressure of everyday biting and chewing. They provide excellent stability and function much like natural teeth, enabling you to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence.
3- Comfort
For those missing all teeth in an arch (either upper or lower), fixed bridges offer greater comfort compared to removable dentures, as they are securely anchored in place within the mouth.
4- Oral Health
Fixed implant bridges do not depend on neighbouring natural teeth for support, meaning that adjacent teeth remain unaffected and do not require alteration or preparation.
5. Fixed implant bridges closely resemble and function like healthy, natural teeth.
They are crafted to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth, offering a natural appearance and feel.
6- Confidence
Implant bridges restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with ease, eliminating concerns about your dental prosthetic becoming loose or dislodged.
7- Bone preservation
Bone loss in the jawbone frequently occurs when teeth are missing. Dental implants help prevent this by offering essential structural support.
8- Affordability
Instead of replacing each missing tooth with an individual implant, this treatment offers a more cost-effective alternative. Please speak to us about our payment plans for further details.

What Does the
Treatment Process
Involve?
Receiving fixed implant bridges involves several stages and can take from a few months to several months to complete. The timeframe depends on factors such as the number of teeth being replaced, the bone availability, the number of implants needed to support the bridge, and whether the implants will be placed in one session or in two phases, especially for full-arch cases. Generally, 2 implants can replace 3-4 teeth, while a full arch may require 4-8 implants, depending on your specific situation. This will be thoroughly discussed with you before starting the treatment. Here’s an overview of the general process:
1
Initial Evaluation
The journey to receiving dental implants starts with an initial evaluation. During this consultation, our team will assess your oral health, including bone density, overall health, and oral hygiene. We will also take X-rays and, if needed, a CBCT scan to gain a comprehensive view of your oral condition. This step is crucial for determining the suitability of the procedure. We offer personalised care and will discuss various treatment options to choose the one that best fits your needs and preferences.
2
Planning For Your Prosthesis
After the initial assessment, we will create detailed records of your mouth, including photographs, precise jaw measurements, and other necessary data. These records are essential for planning the creation of your temporary prosthesis. We will address any questions you may have, provide prescriptions and post-operative instructions, and schedule your surgery to ensure a smooth process.
3
Implant Placement: Restoring Your Smile
The next step involves placing the implants. This procedure may include any necessary extractions and the placement of the implants, which can often be done on the same day. To ensure a comfortable experience, we use local anaesthesia and sedation as needed to minimise discomfort. The implants will then need several months to heal and integrate with the jawbone. During this healing period, you will have temporary teeth to maintain both your smile and functionality.
4
Abutment Placement: Connecting Implants and Prosthesis
Abutments, which are the connectors between the implants and the bridge, may be fitted during the initial surgery or at a later appointment, depending on the stability of the implants.
5
Healing Period
After your implants have fully healed and integrated with the jawbone, we will take final impressions. At this stage, we will work closely with you to design your new smile, considering factors such as tooth shape, colour, and any specific characteristics you desire. Your input is crucial in creating a personalised smile. Once the final impressions are completed, they will be sent to our laboratory to create your permanent prosthesis. Meanwhile, we will adjust your temporary teeth to ensure maximum comfort and satisfaction.

Delivery of Final Teeth: A Transformational Moment
Receiving your final teeth is a transformative experience, especially for those who have lived with missing, painful, or unattractive teeth for an extended period. Imagine looking in the mirror, seeing your flawless smile, and knowing it will remain that way for many years to come!
