What is a Fixed Implant Bridge?
Fixed implant bridges are a type of bridge that uses dental implants to connect a dental bridge to the bone of your jaw. This is done by adding two dental implants where you are missing teeth and using another tooth to anchor all of them together. The missing teeth on either side of the implant will be bridged to the implant.
Due to the implant and the anchor of an additional tooth or teeth, the dental bridge can become permanent and will provide you with a long-lasting, confident smile. Most dental bridges will consist of at least 3 crowns—one full crown in the middle replacing the missing tooth, with the two on the sides as supports.

Types of Fixed Implant Bridges
Depending on how many teeth you need to have replaced will determine the best type of fixed implant bridge for you. When you visit us for your completely FREE fixed implant consultation, our highly experienced dental team will provide you with the best possible options that will work for your amazing smile. There are many types of dental bridges, including removable, permanent, and with or without implants. We can provide them all. For the longest and most effective dental bridge, we recommend fixed implant bridges because these bridges can provide you with a confident, charismatic, lifelong smile.Traditional Fixed Bridge
A traditional fixed bridge is similar to a retainer with dental crowns. These are removable and need to be removed when brushing or flossing, and they do not have implants to give support or extra stability. These will usually be temporary fixes until an implant bridge is possible.Dental Implant Supported Bridge
A dental implant supported bridge will give your bridge the support it needs without it being permanently cemented or screwed into the implant. This still gives your jaw the necessary stimulation to keep it strong, and the bridge can easily be removed for brushing and flossing. This is a good option for your multiple missing teeth but is not a permanent solution. Dental implants will give you a permanent lifelong smile and will not need to be replaced, but the bridge may need to be replaced every 10–20 years with proper cleaning and care.How Does a Fixed Implant Bridge Work?
It will work just like a dental implant and crown for a single tooth because it screws or cements the crown to the implant. However, the bridge will replace multiple missing teeth and will cover one current tooth to use as an anchor.Caring For Your Fixed Dental Implant Bridge
It is important for you to keep up proper at-home dental care just like you would for your natural teeth. Brushing, flossing, using mouthwash, and coming in every 6 months for dental cleanings and exams to get rid of any plaque and buildup around your fixed dental implant bridge and assess any infections or gum disease.Dental Bridges vs. Dental Implants
Dental implants or tooth bridges are placed into your gums to create a root for your jaw and for a dental accessory to be placed on top. Dental bridges will bridge the dental gaps. Dental implants work to stimulate your jaw and create a placeholder for your crown or dentures. Dental bridges go on top, but they are not tooth replacements by themselves. In case of tooth decay, a dental implant can provide a stable foundation for supporting a false tooth to restore its function.Fixed Bridge Cost vs. Dental Bridge Cost
The fixed bridge is affordable because it is a more in-depth process of securing the crown to the implants. It is designed to last a lifetime with proper care, so it will end up being less costly over time than a dental bridge that needs to be replaced every 5–15 years. They are both affordable treatment options for replacing missing or false teeth, but one will be permanent, whereas the other will need to get replaced periodically. We offer great financing options and seek maximum reimbursement of your treatment cost from your insurance company to make this treatment affordable for you.Schedule Your Completely FREE, No Obligation, Dental Implant Bridge Consultation NOW!
