How Implant Bridges Anchor Securely to Your Jaw

An implant-supported bridge — Implants are a direct replacement for lost tooth roots, connecting your bridge directly to the jawbone. The result is ultimate stability without having to compromise the integrity of adjacent teeth.

Six Benefits of Implant-Supported Bridges

Patients in Ridgewood and throughout Bergen County choose implant bridges for these standout advantages:

Complete, Confident Smiles

Implant-supported bridges fill visible gaps left by missing teeth with natural-looking, long-lasting results; no adhesives or visible hardware required.

Clearer, More Comfortable Speech

Because implant bridges are fixed in place, they help stabilize your tongue and lip movements for better articulation and reduced slurring.

Unmatched Stability

Anchored directly into the jawbone, implants prevent slipping, rocking, or movement, giving you confidence in any situation.

Restored Chewing Power

Enjoy a full, unrestricted diet again. Implant bridges restore biting force and balance, allowing you to comfortably eat foods like apples, nuts, and steak.

Preserved Bone and Facial Structure

Unlike traditional bridges, implants stimulate the jaw to prevent bone loss. This supports a fuller, more youthful facial appearance over time.

Stronger Sense of Self

Patients often report improved confidence in both personal and professional settings after restoring their smile with durable, natural-feeling implant bridges.

What to Expect During Your Implant Bridge Procedure

1st Surgery

Implant patients will undergo a minor oral surgery to have the titanium posts inserted into their jaw. Over the next four to six months, the implant and bone will fuse.

2nd Surgery

When this process is complete, you will return to have attachments called abutments placed, which will eventually connect the implants to the bridge.

Bridge Placement

After the gum tissue has healed - usually after about two weeks - you will return to have your permanent bridge attached to your implants.

Traditional Dental Bridges A Trusted Option When Implants Aren’t Ideal

A traditional bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth called pontics that are anchored in place with dental crowns.
The dental crowns are placed over your natural teeth on either side of the pontics. These teeth will need to be altered so the crowns will fit over them.
Compared to implant-supported bridges, traditional bridges are a simpler treatment. They lack most of the benefits implant-supported bridges provide, but in some cases, they may be a better fit. We will help determine the right solution for your needs.

The Traditional Dental Bridge

A traditional dental bridge is supported on either side by dental crowns that fit over two of your natural teeth.

Am I a Candidate for a Dental Bridge?

If you are missing one or more consecutive teeth, you are probably a candidate for a traditional bridge. Any gum disease or tooth decay will need to be resolved before the restoration is placed, however. Our Ridgewood, NJ, dentists may consider you as a candidate for an implant-supported bridge if you:

Are a non-smoker, as smoking can inhibit healing.

Are not diabetic or have controlled diabetes.

Have sufficient jawbone tissue. A bone graft may be needed if you have suffered bone atrophy in the treatment area.

What to Expect During a Traditional Bridge Placement

To place a traditional bridge that will replace one tooth or a few consecutive missing teeth, your dentist will first prepare your adjacent existing teeth for crowns. This involves reducing the tooth on either side of the gap before taking precise impressions.

Patients may receive a temporary bridge while they wait for their permanent bridge to be crafted by our trusted partner lab, which can take six days to around two weeks. We can also do a three day rush delivery if requested.

When your customized bridge is ready, you will come back to our office to have it placed. At this time, your dentist will ensure it fits properly. Next, the restoration will be secured with dental cement. Your dentist can make any necessary adjustments at this time in order to achieve a comfortable and balanced bite.
