Benefits of Fixed Implant Bridges in Mckinney
Fixed Implant Bridges consist of two or more dental implants placed in the jawbone to support a multiple-unit bridge made from porcelain teeth, replacing two or more missing teeth. These bridges not only preserve the jawbone and surrounding teeth but also help maintain your smile and restore your bite. Unlike removable dentures, fixed implant bridges are permanent and do not need to be removed for sleeping or teeth cleaning.
How does it work?
A dental implant bridge is made up of a titanium screw that serves as a foundation for replacing one or multiple teeth. The bridge is comprised of three parts.
- A dental implant consists of three main components: the implant post, the abutment, and the crown.
- The implant post is placed in the jaw as an anchor, while the abutment connects the post to the crown.
- The crown is the visible part of the implant in the mouth and can also be used as an implant bridge for multiple implants.
Dental Bridge Schedule
The process typically lasts for a duration of 5-6 months from start to finish.
- Place the implant into the jaw bone and allow 4 months for integration.
- After that, uncover the implants and allow the gums to shape properly for 2 weeks.
- Take impressions and send them to an outside lab to fabricate the abutment and crown, a process that usually takes 3-4 weeks.
- Finally, attach the abutment and crown onto the implant.
