Implant-Supported Bridges in Albuquerque, NM
When you're missing several teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge fills the gap securely without reshaping your healthy natural teeth. Our Albuquerque team designs each bridge to blend naturally with your smile.
What Happens During Treatment
Your dentist evaluates your jawbone and gum health to plan where your implants should be placed. Typically, two implants are placed at either end of the gap left by your missing teeth, which will serve as the anchors for your bridge.
After a healing period that allows the implants to integrate with your jawbone, your custom bridge is attached to the implants, filling the gap with a secure, natural-looking restoration that doesn't rely on your remaining natural teeth for support.
Benefits of an Implant-Supported Bridge
Protects Healthy Teeth
No need to reshape or crown the teeth next to the gap.
Stable & Secure
Anchored directly in your jawbone for a stable, confident bite.
Preserves Jawbone
Implants help maintain bone density in the area of your missing teeth.
Long-Term Value
Built to hold up well over time with proper care.
Is This the Right Option for You?
Implant-supported bridges work well for patients missing a few teeth in a row who have healthy gums and enough jawbone to support implants. If you're missing a full arch of teeth, you may want to explore All-on-4 implantsinstead. If you're replacing just one or two teeth and prefer to avoid implant surgery, a traditional dental bridge might be worth considering.
Caring for Your Implant-Supported Bridge
Caring for an implant-supported bridge is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush and floss daily, paying close attention to the area around the implants, and keep up with regular checkups so we can monitor the health of your gums and the stability of your bridge over time.
Cost & Financing
The cost of an implant-supported bridge depends on how many implants and teeth are involved. Our front desk team is happy to review your specific treatment plan, discuss your insurance benefits, and walk through financing options with you.
