Dental Implant Supported Bridge in Birmingham
An implant supported bridge is a type of bridge supported by a dental implant.
The implants are first fitted to restore missing or failing teeth, and an implant supported bridge is then attached to the implant.
These types of bridges are an ideal option when more than one tooth is missing. Implant supported bridges are more secure than regular bridges, helping to improve your general oral hygiene.
Implant Supported Bridge Process
Usually the treatment period lasts between 5 and 7 months, although – as each patient is unique – treatment times can vary. This is also dependent upon the type of treatment, such as if the lower or upper jaw needs the procedure, or both.
If your gums and jaw are healthy and teeth need to be removed, then just like with same day implants, tooth removal and implant insertion can take place in the same appointment. However, if this is not the case, additional appointments may be required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Implant Supported Bridge
What is an implant supported bridge?
An implant supported bridge is a dental restoration used to replace multiple missing teeth in a row. Instead of relying on natural teeth for support, the bridge is secured to dental implants placed in the jawbone. This provides a stable, long-lasting solution that restores both function and appearance while preserving surrounding healthy teeth.
How is an implant supported bridge different from a traditional bridge?
A traditional bridge relies on adjacent natural teeth for support, which often requires reshaping healthy teeth. An implant supported bridge is anchored to dental implants instead, making it more stable and helping to prevent bone loss in the jaw. This option is often more durable and feels closer to natural teeth when chewing and speaking.
How many implants are needed for an implant supported bridge?
The number of implants required depends on the number of missing teeth and their position. In many cases, two dental implants can support a bridge replacing three or more teeth. A clinical assessment allows the dentist to determine the most suitable configuration for strength, balance, and long-term success.
How long does an implant supported bridge last?
With proper care, an implant supported bridge can last many years and often decades. The implants are designed to integrate with the jawbone, while the bridge itself is made from durable materials suited for everyday use. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining the health of the implants and surrounding gums.
How do I know if an implant supported bridge is right for me?
Suitability for an implant supported bridge is determined through a detailed consultation and clinical assessment. During this visit, your oral health, bone support, and the number of missing teeth will be evaluated to ensure the restoration provides long-term stability and function. The full treatment process and expected timeline will also be explained clearly.
