What Are Implant-Supported Bridges?
Mobile patients should think of implant-supported bridges like a regular bridge, but better. Instead of being supported by adjacent dental crowns, this type of bridge is connected to your mouth through dental implants. It works if you have two or more teeth missing to which your specialized dentist will insert dental implants on either side of the bridge. The dental implants our patients in Mobile receive will last a lifetime with the proper care.
The in-office procedure starts with the surgical implantation of the implants. Once the posts are implanted in the jawbone, they will fuse with the surrounding bone over the course of a few months. This means that the implants will be sturdily attached to your jaw. A connector is then attached to the posts, allowing for your customized bridge to snap onto the jaw. Keeping up with your daily oral hygiene routine and regular checkups is generally enough to keep your bridge lasting for 20-plus years. Our office is equipped with the latest in dental technology to ensure our clients receive the best dental implant procedures and care serving Mobile.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Bridges
There are numerous benefits to having implant-supported bridges for Mobile patients. The loss of teeth can decrease your confidence significantly. It also takes away a fair amount of the function of your teeth and mouth. By restoring your natural-looking teeth through implant-supported bridges, you can feel confident in your smile and enjoy all of the crunchy and chewy foods you love to eat. When you lose teeth, this can also cause changes in your facial structure due to the loss of support. For patients in Mobile, implant-supported bridges help keep that structure because they stimulate the jawbone when you chew food, keeping your bone from deteriorating.
Who Qualifies for Implant-Supported Bridges in Mobile?
There are certain qualifications that most people have to meet for implant-supported bridges to be suitable for them. These qualifications include the following:
- Enough bone in the jawbone
- Strong oral health
- Overall good health
- Two or more consecutive missing teeth
