Implant-supported bridges are a durable, long-lasting solution for multiple missing teeth. At Neola Dental, we provide expert care to restore function, aesthetics, and confidence to your smile.
What are implant-supported bridges?
An implant-supported bridge is a dental restoration that uses implants as anchors to replace multiple missing teeth. Unlike traditional bridges, this solution doesn’t rely on adjacent teeth for support, preserving their health and integrity.

What are the steps involved in getting an implant-supported bridge?
Getting an implant-supported bridge is a multi-step process that ensures a durable and reliable solution for multiple missing teeth. At Neola Dental, we use a detailed and patient-focused approach:
During your first visit, we evaluate your oral health, review your medical history, and discuss your goals. This step includes imaging, such as X-rays or 3D scans, to assess the condition of your jawbone and identify the optimal placement for implants.
The foundation of an implant-supported bridge begins with the surgical placement of dental implants into the jawbone. Depending on the number of missing teeth, two or more implants may be used to anchor the bridge. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation for your comfort.
After the implants are placed, a healing period of several months is necessary to allow the implants to fuse with the jawbone. This process, known as osseointegration, creates a stable and secure base for the bridge.
Once healing is complete, abutments are attached to the implants. These small connectors protrude above the gumline and serve as the attachment point for the bridge.
Impressions of your teeth and gums are taken to craft a custom implant-supported bridge. The bridge is designed to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth for a flawless appearance.
The custom bridge is securely attached to the abutments. After a final adjustment to ensure a comfortable fit, your new implant-supported bridge is ready to restore your smile and chewing ability.
We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to maintain your bridge and implants. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential to prolong the life of your restoration.
At Neola Dental, our focus is on delivering exceptional results with minimal discomfort. Each step of the process is designed to provide you with a functional, natural-looking smile that lasts for years.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Implant Supported Bridge
How long do implant-supported bridges typically last?
With proper care, implant-supported bridges can last 15 years or more, and in many cases, even a lifetime! Regular checkups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding habits like biting on hard objects can help keep them in great shape.
Can I eat normally with an implant-supported bridge?
Yes! Once your bridge is fully healed and secured, you can eat just like you would with natural teeth. At first, you might need to stick to softer foods, but after that, you’ll be able to enjoy all your favorite meals without worry.
What should I do if my bridge feels loose or uncomfortable?
If your bridge doesn’t feel right, it’s best to contact your dentist as soon as possible. It could be a minor adjustment, or it may indicate an issue that needs to be checked before it gets worse. Don’t ignore it—better to be safe!
Is the procedure painful or uncomfortable?
Not really! The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the process. Some mild discomfort or swelling afterward is normal, but it’s usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most people say the benefits far outweigh any temporary soreness.
