Book an appointment

When several teeth are missing in a row, particularly toward the back of the mouth, a bridge anchored to implants is often the only fixed alternative available.

Back teeth do most of the work of chewing, and they are where a removable denture struggles most: it has the least to hold on to and the most force to resist. Implants change that completely. The bridge is anchored into the jaw, so it does not lift, rock or need adjusting mid-meal.

What you get back

  • Strength and stability that lets you eat normally rather than selectively
  • Preservation of the jawbone in the area the teeth were lost from
  • Facial support, since bone loss in the back of the jaw shows in the face over time
  • Nothing to remove, and nothing clipped onto your remaining teeth

The trade-off, stated honestly

An implant bridge costs more than a partial denture and takes longer to complete. What it buys is a restoration that is fixed, that does not load your remaining natural teeth, and that maintains the bone rather than sitting on top of it while it disappears.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about multiple-tooth implant bridges at LAL Dental.

Do I need one implant per missing tooth?
Usually not. A bridge spanning several teeth can be supported on fewer implants than there are teeth, provided they are positioned to carry the load. How many, and where, is decided at planning.
How long does it take?
After the initial examination, expect roughly 4 to 5 further visits before the fixed bridge is permanently attached.
Is there much discomfort afterwards?
Some minor bruising and swelling of the gum and soft tissue is normal, and is usually managed with ordinary painkillers. Most patients are back at work the following day.
Why not a removable partial denture?
A partial denture is cheaper and faster, and it clips to your remaining teeth, which puts stress on them and traps plaque against them. It also has to be taken out. A fixed bridge on implants stays in, and it preserves the bone underneath.
