A traditional dental bridge was once the main treatment option for patients missing multiple teeth<\/a><\/strong> in a row. But this approach relies on neighboring healthy teeth for support, and that comes with one major downside: Traditional bridges eventually fail when those support teeth wear down. Fortunately, there are other options today. Implant bridges offer a fixed, long-term solution, anchoring into the jawbone directly and leaving neighboring teeth unaffected.<\/p>\n

At Hazzouri Dental, our team of experienced dentists offers implant-supported bridges as a durable, natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Dr. Albert A. Hazzouri Jr., Dr. Louis A. Genello, and Dr. Andrew J. Knott are passionate about implant-supported options because of the way they enhance your patient experience. Our team is especially excited about how mini dental implants make restorative dentistry<\/a><\/strong> more straightforward, while providing results that stand the test of time.<\/p>\n

Why Traditional Dental Bridges Fall Short<\/h2>\n

\"DentalA dental bridge<\/a><\/strong> replaces one or more missing teeth with artificial replacements (called pontics<\/em>), which are anchored to supports (called abutments<\/em>) on either side of the gap. In a traditional bridge, the two healthy teeth on either side of the gap act as the abutments. Each tooth is fitted with a crown<\/a><\/strong> to hold the pontic in place.<\/p>\n

To secure the crowns, we must cut down healthy teeth before cementing the bridge. Then, once the bridge is in place, the abutment teeth must bear the chewing forces for all the missing teeth the bridge is replacing. This extra pressure contributes to tooth wear and strain.<\/p>\n

While a traditional bridge can last 5 to 15 years, it often leaves damaged teeth behind.<\/p>\n
