Implant-supported bridges

When three or more teeth in a row are missing, an implant-supported bridge is often a good way to replace them.

Joining the new teeth together has several advantages:

• Fewer implants are needed, which lowers the cost.
• The bridge can span areas where the bone isn't suitable for an implant.
• Implants can't get cavities (though they can get gum disease), so these bridges typically last longer than bridges supported by natural teeth.
