What Is an Implant-Supported Bridge?

In this video, Dr. Rameek McNair discusses implant-supported bridges, an effective solution for replacing multiple adjacent missing teeth.

An implant-supported bridge is a dental solution used when a patient has multiple adjacent missing teeth. For example, a patient might have a natural tooth at the back, followed by one or more missing teeth, and then another natural tooth. To provide adequate support in such cases, one or two dental implants are typically placed in the gaps.

These implants are used as support points for the bridge. The natural teeth at the back and front are often reshaped to accommodate crowns, which are then linked together with the crowns on the implants. This interconnected structure ensures that the load of biting is evenly distributed across both the natural teeth and the implants, providing a stable and durable foundation. This method not only restores functionality but also aims for long-term success in dental restoration.
