Implant-supported bridges are a great choice if you are missing one to several teeth in a row. When compared to traditional dental
bridges, implant-supported bridges will provide you with much more support and strengthened stability, without having to alter any of the surrounding teeth. Dr. Shukoor
is an expert in implant-supported bridges to replace missing teeth or to redo old dental bridges, and can help you restore the beauty of your smile today.
Gain stability and strength for your dental restoration.

Before any work can be done, you must first visit a cosmetic dentist who has advanced training and education in the placement of implant-supported bridges. Your dentist will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth, gums and jaw bone, and will review your past dental and medical records and run you through several x-rays. After your x-rays have been completed, the dentist will take impressions of your top and bottom teeth and gums so models can be created for preparation.
If your dentist is uncertain that you have enough bone to support implants, he or she will have you go through a CT scan. People who have lost more than one tooth typically lose bone mass within their jaw as a result. If you do not have enough bone to keep your implant bridge in place, other options are available for you such as bone grafting and bone augmentation.
Benefits of getting implant-supported bridges include:
If you have recently lost a tooth, it is best to have an implant installed within one month of healing. If you allow the time span to extend longer than 30 days, your teeth may shift and your opposing tooth can cause damage to your gums. As a result of your teeth shifting, you place yourself at risk for
gum (periodontal) disease. This domino effect causes interference on your bite. None of these conditions cause major discomfort to the patient until problems are in the advanced stage, and then a host of other issues can occur.
