Implant bridge: The fixed replacement for your teeth

Your radiant smile in competent hands!

Nothing represents health and vitality more than a radiant smile with beautiful, white teeth.
A professionally placed implant bridge improves your quality of life and gives you back a secure bite. Finally enjoy hearty meals again and even hard bread crusts are no longer a problem. Implants are artificial tooth roots placed by your dentist in the dental office. This treatment method has now been used for many years, is scientifically recognized and enables your dentist to decisively expand the treatment spectrum for tooth replacement. The nature of dental treatment is constantly evolving. New technologies and materials provide modern results and outcomes. For you, as a patient in your dental practice, this means maximum dental comfort at the highest level.
Implant bridges are becoming increasingly popular and it is impossible to imagine the field of suitable dental prostheses without them. They are used for fixation and significantly improve retention in single-tooth restorations. Unnecessary grinding of neighboring teeth can be avoided. Implant bridges ensure an optimal, static distribution of forces and provide ideal solutions for building up a fixed denture in an edentulous jaw.

Materials used

Implant bridges are usually made of titanium, but ceramic or a mixture of both materials is also used. They are stable and extremely durable, ensuring lasting satisfaction and optimal dental health. However, there are also reservations about materials made of metal. In particular, chronically ill patients suffering from complaints such as rheumatism, allergies or other metabolic diseases prefer metal-free implants. For a long time, recognized scientists have been studying titanium as a material. Its biocompatibility has long been confirmed and overreactions are hardly known. The genius that happens after the insertion of a titanium implant is the, so-called osseointegration. This results in a molecular bond between the foreign material and the jawbone. New bone cells are formed and accumulate around the artificial tooth roots. The implant can heal firmly and the implant bridge is thus given a firm and secure hold. Implant bridges are extremely light and elastic as well as fracture-resistant and durable. But implants made of ceramic also offer many advantages and are very popular.
It must be emphasized here that the term ceramic is not entirely correct, because the ceramic implants used are made of zirconium oxide. Allergies and intolerances are, according to current knowledge, hardly known. The healing process is also described as predominantly positive. The absolute advantage here is the color design of the teeth. Particularly beautiful, natural results are achieved. Healing takes a little longer, also a shorter durability is suspected compared to titanium implants. Long-term studies and scientific tests regarding durability are currently ongoing.

Care and aftercare

Proper care is fundamental to the beauty and durability of your implant. In addition to conscientious daily home care, regular use of implant prophylaxis and aftercare in your dental practice is essential. Inadequate care promotes the development of peri-implantitis and increases the risk of implant loss. Be sure to follow your dentist’s care instructions.

Anesthesia and narcosis

Many patients shy away from dental procedures because they are among the so-called anxiety patients . These fears are unfounded because the entire procedure is performed under local anesthesia and the entire area where implants are placed is anesthetized. Pain during the entire treatment is absolutely unnecessary and can be almost completely eliminated. It can be re-injected at any time during the treatment, which prevents any sensation of pain.
However, in the case of a massive anxiety disorder, the use of general anesthesia may be considered. In this case, a competent anesthesiologist is consulted. Your dental treatment can be designed according to your wishes. Nevertheless, it must already be taken into account that anesthesiology cannot be used for every post-treatment and many treatment steps can only be performed under local anesthesia. Discuss everything in detail with your dentist, so that your dental treatment can be perfectly organized and you too can soon laugh heartily again.
