Dental Bridge on Implants

dental implant bridge or denture on implants

A dental implant bridge, replacing several teeth in a row is a great stable alternative to a denture or conventional bridge.

Dental implant treatment is a possible solution to restore teeth missing or failing in a row, whether there are teeth missing or loose teeth in a row, decayed teeth / teeth with a bad prognosis, broken or cracked teeth or root treatments which have failed.

How long does dental implant bridge or fixed dentures on implant treatment take?

Dental implant bridge treatment durations vary on a case by case basis.

In simple cases (with the dental 3D CBCT scan showing good bone quantity), there are 4 or 5 appointments over a 4-5 month period.

In more complex cases, where bone grafting is required, a 6-8 month period is required.

In some cases (when there is good bone quantity / quality), it may be possible to extract teeth and place the implants in the same appointment – this is called an immediate loaded bridge. Otherwise, a 6 week to 4 month healing period is needed before the implants are placed.
