Implant-Supported Bridges

Replace Multiple Missing Teeth with Strength, Stability, and Confidence

More Than One Missing Tooth? You Don’t Need One Implant for Every Gap

If you’re missing several teeth in a row, you don’t need a separate implant for each one. At Vivid Dental of Raleigh, we offer implant-supported bridges — a strong, modern alternative to traditional dental bridges or partial dentures that restores multiple missing teeth with fewer implants and better results.

These bridges are fixed, non-removable, and anchored securely into your jawbone, giving you natural chewing power and long-lasting comfort — without the drawbacks of removable options.

What Is an Implant-Supported Bridge?

An implant-supported bridge is a dental prosthetic that replaces two or more missing teeth in a row. Instead of relying on natural teeth for support, it is anchored by dental implants placed at either end of the gap.

Each implant fuses to the jawbone, acting as a secure foundation for a custom-designed bridge of prosthetic teeth.

Benefits Over Traditional Bridges

Feature	Traditional Bridge	Implant-Supported Bridge
Anchored to natural teeth	✅ Yes	❌ No
Requires altering healthy teeth	✅ Yes	❌ No
Supports jawbone health	❌ No	✅ Yes
Risk of shifting or damage	Higher	Minimal
Lifespan	5–15 years	20+ years
Removable?	No	No (fixed)

Implant-supported bridges give you a permanent, natural-feeling solution — without the need to compromise healthy teeth or deal with daily removal.

When Is an Implant-Supported Bridge Recommended?

You may be a candidate if you:

Are missing 2–4 consecutive teeth

Have sufficient jawbone for implant placement

Prefer a fixed, long-term solution over removable partial dentures

Want to prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure

Are seeking more stability than traditional bridgework offers

During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your bone health, bite alignment, and smile goals to determine if this option is right for you.

What to Expect from the Process

You leave with a complete, confident smile that feels and functions like your own.
