Several Teeth Missing
Benefits with fixed bridge on implants
In this case, when replacing three teeth in the far back of the mouth, a fixed bridge
anchored to dental implants is the only fixed alternative. Traditional dentures can’t
offer the same stability or function.

Having dental implants replacing your lost back teeth will give you new, unparalleled
strength and stability that allows you to eat what you want. It will also
preserve your jawbone and facial appearance.

• The only fixed alternative in this situation.
• A stable, secure solution that lets you eat what you want
• Preserves your facial appearance and prevents bone loss.

Treatment
After the initial examination, you can expect 4-5 additional visits until the final
fixed bridge is permanently attached. It is normal to experience some minor bruising
and swelling in the gum and soft tissue afterwards. Any discomfort is usually
treated with an ordinary painkiller. You should expect to be able to work the next
day.

 

Course of treatment

The course of treatment described here is one of several options available.
Consult your dentist to find out what the best solution is for you, given your
specific condition.

Installing the fixed bridge – Step-by-step

1. Before the procedure Three teeth at back end of the mouth are missing. The only real replacement alternative is installing a fixed bridge. The bridge contains all teeth in one piece and is anchored on dental implants.	2. Installing the implants First, the implants are installed.This is normally done in a single session. A temporary bridge may be placed at the same time, making it possible for you to function like normal almost immediately after leaving the dentist.

3. Attaching the bridge The implants need to integrate with the jawbone before the permanent bridge is attached. This is normally done 1-2 months after the implant installation. The time will vary, depending on the teeth affected and the esthetical demands.	4. End result The new bridge will handle all the pressure that your strong, natural back teeth did. You will have a stable and secure solution that allows you to eat what you want.
