Dental Bridge Implants in Phoenix, AZ

An implant-supported bridge is a custom restoration that replaces multiple missing teeth using two or more tooth implants as anchors. Instead of relying on adjacent teeth for support, the bridge is securely attached to titanium implants placed in the jawbone, creating a stable and natural foundation.

This treatment restores chewing ability, speech, and aesthetics while preventing bone loss in the area where teeth are missing. Every case at The Smile Studio is digitally planned for precision and tailored to the unique needs of each patient, ensuring your new smile blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.

How Does an Implant-Supported Bridge Differ from a Traditional Bridge?

While both options replace missing teeth, the approach and long-term benefits differ:

• Traditional bridges rely on neighboring teeth that must be reshaped to hold the restoration.
• Implant-supported bridges are anchored directly into the jawbone with dental implants.
• Implants preserve bone structure and do not affect nearby healthy teeth.
• The result is greater stability, longevity, and comfort.

Patients often find implant bridges feel more natural, require less maintenance, and offer a more permanent solution for tooth loss.

What Are the Benefits of Choosing an Implant-Supported Bridge Over a Removable Denture?

An implant bridge provides many advantages over a traditional denture or partial:

• Prevents bone loss and gum shrinkage.
• Feels and functions like your natural teeth.
• Stays fixed in place—no adhesives or slipping.
• Improves speech and chewing ability.
• Enhances your smile’s appearance and confidence.
• Provides a long-lasting solution for missing teeth.

At The Smile Studio, your comfort is always a top priority. Our patients enjoy nitrous oxide for relaxation, cozy amenities, and a supportive environment that helps make every step of treatment comfortable and stress-free.

Am I a Good Candidate for an Implant-Supported Bridge?

You may be a good candidate for an implant-supported bridge if you:

• Have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density.
• Maintain good oral hygiene habits.
• Do not smoke or are willing to quit.
• Are committed to regular dental care and follow-up visits.

During your consultation, Dr. Burnham will use 3D imaging to evaluate your bone structure and design a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Every patient’s smile is unique, and we’ll help you decide if a dental bridge implant is the best solution.

How Long Does the Procedure Take for an Implant-Supported Bridge?

The timeline for implant bridge treatment typically includes several stages:

• Consultation and Planning: Comprehensive evaluation and 3D imaging.
• Implant Placement: Performed in one or two visits using surgical guides for precision.
• Healing and Osseointegration: The implants fuse with the bone over three to six months.
• Final Bridge Placement: A custom, natural-looking bridge is attached once healing is complete.

At The Smile Studio, our advanced technology and meticulous approach help streamline this process, providing predictable results and a comfortable experience.

How Long Will an Implant-Supported Bridge Last?

With proper care, an implant-supported bridge can last 15 to 25 years or more. The longevity of your restoration depends on maintaining healthy gums, practicing good oral hygiene, and attending regular dental visits.

Our team provides personalized maintenance tips and professional cleanings to help you care for your implants. Tools like floss threaders or water flossers make it easy to clean around your bridge, helping preserve your investment for decades.
