What is an Implant-Supported Bridge?

An implant-supported dental bridge replaces multiple missing teeth in a row without affecting healthy adjacent teeth.

Unlike traditional bridges that require grinding down neighboring teeth, implant bridges attach to titanium posts surgically placed into your jawbone.

These posts function like tooth roots, preventing bone loss and providing a solid foundation. Using advanced 3D and 4D imaging, we plan implant placement for maximum stability and precision. The visible portion consists of custom-made crowns that match your natural teeth in color and shape.

This modern prosthodontic solution offers greater stability than removable options, maintains facial structure, and provides a long-lasting, comfortable alternative to traditional dentures or bridges.

What to Expect During Your Dental Implant Bridge Appointment

Initial Consultation and Customized Planning

  • Comprehensive Oral Exam - We'll assess your teeth, gums, and jawbone to confirm that implant-supported bridges are the right solution.
  • Advanced 3D Imaging - Digital scans help us evaluate bone density and precisely plan implant placement.
  • Personalized Treatment Plan - We'll design a treatment strategy that fits your needs and schedule.

Your Implant Procedure

  • Implant Placement Surgery - Two or more titanium implants are placed in the jawbone to anchor your bridge securely.
  • Healing and Osseointegration - Over several months, the implants will bond naturally with your bone to form a stable foundation.
  • Custom Bridge Placement - Once healed, we'll attach a custom-crafted bridge that blends beautifully with your natural teeth.

Recovery and Ongoing Care

  • Post-Placement Instructions - We'll guide you on caring for your implants and keeping the area clean.

I had another dentist and hadn’t planned on going anywhere, but they couldn’t help me with implants. So, I called Southeastern Dental Center and when I got here, it was like money was secondary. It was all about me. The confidence, the happiness, the reward at the end – it’s worth it all. It really is.

When you see teeth in a day, you think ‘well, how could that be possible?’ They explained exactly what the procedure was going to be, I came in for my appointment, and the next thing I remember, I woke up the next day with a mouth full of teeth. It was pretty awesome.

I've been researching my teeth for almost six years. I wanted them done and I started looking for places around Columbus that did implants with good reviews. Southeastern Dental Center was the place. The reviews are awesome, the people are amazing, and they got me in quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

The complete process typically takes 3-6 months. After initial implant placement, a healing period of 3-4 months allows for osseointegration before the final bridge is attached.

Most patients report minimal discomfort. We use local anesthesia during the procedure, and most people return to work the next day with only mild soreness.

With proper care, the implants can last a lifetime, while the bridge itself typically lasts 10-15 years before needing replacement.

Implant bridges are fixed permanently in your mouth, don't require removal for cleaning, provide better chewing function, and prevent bone loss.
