Are you missing one or multiple teeth and looking for a way to get your smile back? Permanent implant-retained bridges here at Thayer Dental Care might be just right for you.
During a consultation, our dentists will assess your dental health to see if this treatment is right for you. If we find this restoration is suitable for you, Dr. Samir Patel or Dr. Chyrelle Blount will place dental implants, which are like substitute tooth roots, into your jawbone. Once these are secure, a bridge, which is a set of natural-looking replacement teeth, is attached to the implants.
The great thing about these bridges is they stay in place. They do not move or come out like dentures can. This means you can eat, talk and smile without any worries.
Plus, because the implants are in your jawbone, they help keep the bone healthy. When you lose teeth, the bone can start to shrink. But the implants act like real tooth roots and keep the bone strong.
Remember, not everyone can get these bridges. You need to have enough bone in your jaw in order to support this restoration. Our dental team will help you figure out if permanent implant-retained bridges are the right choice for you.
