What Is an Implant-Supported Bridge?

In this video, Dr. Diane Hines explains how an implant-supported bridge restores several missing teeth in a row.

An implant-supported bridge is used when a patient is missing several teeth in a row. For example, if the lower arch has no teeth on one side, we can place two or more implants with space between them. A custom bridge with crowns is then secured to those implants, restoring the entire span of missing teeth with a natural look and strong function.

Damaged or missing teeth don’t have to keep you from smiling. At Aesthetic Dental in Southfield, MI, we offer custom crowns and bridges designed to look natural and restore full function. Schedule a free consultation today to see how we can help.
