We specialize in providing implant-supported bridges in Hickory, North Carolina, an innovative and durable solution for replacing multiple missing teeth. This advanced dental procedure bridges the gap created by missing teeth using dental implants as support, unlike traditional bridges that rely on adjacent teeth for support.
Key Advantages of Implant-Supported Bridges
Opting for implant-supported bridges at Hickory Dentistry comes with several key benefits:
- Enhanced Durability and Stability: Implants provide a strong foundation, making the bridge more stable and durable.
- Preservation of Natural Teeth: Adjacent teeth do not need to be altered to support the bridge, helping to preserve natural tooth structure.
- Improved Oral Health: Implants help to maintain jawbone density and support overall facial structure.
The Procedure Explained
The process of getting an implant-supported bridge involves a few key steps:
- Initial Consultation: Dr. Josh M. Millsaps evaluates your oral health to determine if you are a candidate for the procedure.
- Implant Placement: Titanium implants are surgically placed into the jaw where teeth are missing.
- Healing Period: A period of healing allows for the integration of the implants with the bone.
- Bridge Placement: Once healing is complete, a custom-made bridge is securely attached to the implants.
