Implant-Supported Bridges: A Modern Solution for Missing Teeth
Missing multiple consecutive teeth can affect more than just your smile—it impacts how you eat, speak, and feel about yourself. At Best Dental, we specialize in implant-supported bridges, a revolutionary solution that combines durability, functionality, and natural aesthetics.
Unlike traditional bridges that rely on your remaining natural teeth for support, implant-supported bridges stand independently, preserving your natural teeth while restoring your complete smile.

Why?
An implant-supported bridge (also called a “fixed dental partial”) offers a permanent solution for patients missing several adjacent teeth. The process involves placing dental implants into your jawbone to serve as artificial roots, with a custom-designed bridge anchored securely to these implants.
The result? A restoration that looks, feels, and functions just like your natural teeth.
Transform Your Smile: Implant-Supported vs. Traditional Bridges
The chart below compares traditional dental bridges, and implant-supported bridges
| Feature | Traditional Bridge | Implant-Supported Bridge Best Choice |
|---|---|---|
| Support System | Relies on adjacent natural teeth, which must be filed down and prepared for crowns | Supported by dental implants that integrate with your jawbone, preserving your natural teeth |
| Impact on Natural Teeth | Requires irreversible modification of healthy neighboring teeth | Completely preserves your natural teeth |
| Replacement Capacity | Typically limited to replacing 1-2 teeth between supporting crowns | Can replace multiple consecutive teeth with fewer support points (4-6 implants can support a full arch) |
| Longevity | Average lifespan of 5-10 years before needing replacement | Can last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance |
| Bone Health | Does not prevent jawbone deterioration that follows tooth loss | Stimulates and preserves jawbone tissue, preventing deterioration |
| Feel & Function | Can feel bulky or unnatural; limited chewing force | Feels and functions just like natural teeth; full chewing capacity |
| Long-term Cost | Lower initial cost, but higher lifetime cost due to multiple replacements | Higher initial investment, but lower lifetime cost due to durability |
| Maintenance | Requires special cleaning tools; higher risk of decay around attachment points | Can be brushed and flossed like natural teeth; lower maintenance |
Individual results may vary. Schedule a consultation at Best Dental to determine which option is right for your specific dental needs.
The Journey to Your New Smile
The process of getting an implant-supported bridge typically involves:
- Comprehensive Consultation: Complete examination including 3D imaging (CBCT) to assess your oral health and bone structure.
- Implant Placement: Surgical insertion of titanium implants into your jawbone. If needed, bone grafting may be recommended to create a stronger foundation.
- Healing Period: A 4-6 month integration period allows the implants to fuse with your jawbone. We may provide temporary teeth during this time.
- Custom Bridge Creation: Our lab crafts your personalized bridge to perfectly match your natural teeth.
- Final Placement: Your new bridge is secured to the implants, revealing your transformed smile immediately.
Is This Right for You?
If you’re nodding along as you read this, chances are an implant-supported bridge could be perfect for you. Most people who are healthy enough for routine dental work are candidates, though certain factors might require additional consideration:
- If you smoke, we’ll work with you on a plan to pause during the healing process
- If you have diabetes, we’ll coordinate with your doctor to ensure optimal healing
- If you have limited bone tissue, we have solutions to build a stronger foundation
Whatever your situation, we believe in finding a way to help you smile confidently again.
An Investment in Yourself - Costs Of An Implant-Supported Bridge
We believe in transparent conversations about the financial aspect of dental care. An implant-supported bridge typically costs $10,500 to $14,000 for a 3-unit bridge, depending on your specific needs. With our team, patients only pay $5,000 for a 3-unit dental implant bridge. This excludes any additional costs if additional procedures like bone grafting are needed.
At Best Dental, we’re committed to making this life-changing treatment accessible through:
- Insurance coordination (we’ll help maximize your benefits)
- Flexible payment plans
- Financing options include CareCredit, Cherry Financing, and more
Many of our patients tell us their implant bridge was the best investment they’ve ever made in themselves—with dividends paid daily in confidence, comfort, and joy.
FAQ About Implant Supported Bridges
How long does the process take?
The entire process typically takes 3-6 months, depending on your healing time. The good news? You’ll have a temporary solution to wear in the meantime.
Are implant-supported bridges painful?
Not at all! We use local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Most patients report minimal discomfort and are back to their normal routines within a day or two.
Can I get an implant-supported bridge if I’ve had bone loss?
In many cases, yes! We offer bone grafting procedures to rebuild the jawbone and create a stable foundation for your implants.
How do I care for my implant-supported bridge?
Simply brush, floss, and visit your dentist regularly—just like you would with natural teeth.
