Six reasons to choose implant-supported bridges following removal of a broken tooth

Once they learn about their advantages, these restorations are highly desirable for many patients. Below are six reasons our patients love implant-supported dental bridges to repair their smile after the extraction of a broken tooth beyond repair:

• Prevents bone loss. When a tooth is lost, the bone beneath it starts to deteriorate from a lack of stimulation. An implant-supported bridge helps prevent this by stimulating the jawbone through the implants, ensuring long-term oral health.
• Maintains facial structure. Missing teeth often cause changes in facial structure, making individuals appear older than they are. An implant-supported bridge maintains facial structure as it mimics the natural roots of teeth.
• Restores function. With a fixed dental prosthetic, patients can enjoy their favorite foods without worrying about shifting or discomfort, allowing for a more enjoyable and comfortable dining experience. Additionally, implant-supported bridges help with clear speech, unlike removable dentures that may cause slurring.
• Long-lasting solution. Implant-supported bridges have a higher success rate and can last several years with proper care, making them a durable and reliable option for tooth replacement.
• There is no need to alter adjacent teeth. An implant-supported bridge preserves the health of surrounding teeth since it does not require filing down adjacent, supporting teeth like traditional dental bridges do.
• Natural-looking results. The prosthetic teeth used in an implant-supported bridge are made to look and feel like natural teeth, providing patients with a seamless smile restoration. Custom-designed for each individual, they blend in perfectly with existing teeth, ensuring an attractive and confident smile.
