Implant Bridges Katy TX

Dental bridges are natural-looking tooth replacements that help maintain facial structure, reduce stress on the jaw and fill in the gaps caused by missing teeth. Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth and rely on surrounding healthy teeth for support. This causes damage to healthy teeth and may lead to future tooth loss.

An implant bridge attaches artificial teeth directly to the jaw or under the gum tissue. Dental implant bridges provide strong, natural looking replacements and rely on implants in the jawbone for each missing tooth. The crowns for each tooth are connected to form one piece. We are proud to offer our patients in Katy, Sugerland, and the surrounding areas dental implant bridges to replace missing teeth.

Advantages of Implant Bridges

Implant bridges provide the comfort and support of a traditional dental bridge without any damaging side effects. The benefit of using implants is that they do not rely on neighboring teeth for support and they are permanent and stable.

Implant Bridges can be used to:

• Restore a smile
• Reduce the risk of gum disease
• Restore the ability to bite and chew

The First Step

Implants are precisely placed into the jaw bone to mirror the location of the roots of the missing natural teeth.

The Second Step

After appropriate healing time has taken place, to allow for the implant to fuse within the bone, impressions of the teeth and bite are taken to custom fabricate a connector post or abutment, and bridge.

The Final Step

The abutment and dental bridge are attached to the implant, completing the process. Some patients may experience minor soreness after the dental implant procedure which can be treated with over the counter medication.
