Implant-supported bridges
Replacement of several missing teeth with a bridge supported by implants. Planning determines the number of supports, the span and the materials.
About Service
Unlike a single crown, a bridge comprises several units. It relies on implants and requires assessment of their condition, support arrangement and the ability to clean the restoration.
Options include bridges on four or six MegaGen implants and a titanium-bar design. Before treatment, agree on the number of replacement teeth, materials, retention and the sequence of surgical and restorative stages.
What the treatment or procedure involves
- Assessment of supports and bridge planning.
- Impressions or digital records.
- Fabrication, try-ins and placement according to the selected protocol.
- Cleaning guidance and follow-up.
Important considerations
- Mechanical complications, chipping and loosening can occur.
- Inadequate cleaning beneath the bridge contributes to problems with surrounding tissues.
Options
- Bridge supported by six MegaGen implants
- Bridge supported by four MegaGen implants
- Implant-supported bridge on a titanium bar
Additional stages and components
- Porcelain-fused-to-metal tooth unit in a bridge
- MegaGen Multi-unit abutment
- Straumann Multi-unit abutment
Information helps prepare for a consultation and does not replace an individual diagnosis. The dentist determines the procedure, materials and timing after assessment.

Contraindications

- Peri-implant inflammation requiring care before definitive restoration.
