Implant bridges in Kallangur, Moreton Bay

Implant Bridge
Kallangur

Fill a run of missing teeth with one fixed restoration

An implant bridge is a row of custom-made replacement teeth held firmly on titanium implants set into the jaw. When three or four teeth are missing side by side, it lets you replace the whole gap with fewer implants than one per tooth, and without filing down the healthy teeth either side. At Kallangur Dental Surgery on Anzac Avenue, our implant dentist plans each implant supported bridge around your bite, your bone and the look of your smile, starting with a free consultation.

Implant bridge cost depends mainly on the number of implants, how many teeth the bridge replaces, the materials chosen and whether any bone grafting is needed first. We would rather give you an accurate written estimate for your own mouth than a headline figure, so you will receive one after your free consultation. Our dental implants cost guide explains the factors in more detail.

Payment options may be available to help you spread the cost of an implant bridge, from Buy Now Pay Later for smaller plans to longer-term payment plans, subject to approval. We can go through them with you at your consultation.

The basics

What is an implant supported bridge?

Think of it as a small span of teeth resting on two or more pillars. The pillars are titanium implants placed in the jawbone where teeth used to be, and the span is a single piece of connected crowns fixed on them. Two implants can often carry three or four teeth, which keeps surgery and cost lower than placing an implant under every missing tooth.

Because the implants stand in for tooth roots, the bridge is anchored in bone rather than sitting on gums or leaning on other teeth. That gives a steady bite for everyday foods and a result that looks like part of your natural smile. The implants also keep the jawbone under the gap working, which helps limit the gradual bone shrinkage that follows tooth loss.

The big question

Dental implant vs bridge: which is right for you?

When people compare a dental implant vs bridge, they usually mean a traditional tooth-supported bridge. That type is glued onto crowns placed over the teeth either side of the gap, so those teeth have to be reshaped, even if they are perfectly healthy. It can be a quicker, lower-cost choice, but it adds load to the supporting teeth and does nothing for the bone under the missing ones.

An implant bridge takes the load off your natural teeth altogether. Here is how it stacks up:

Against a tooth-supported bridge - no reshaping of healthy teeth, and the bone under the gap stays active
Against a partial denture - fixed in place, with no clasps, plate or overnight soaking
Against one implant per tooth - fewer implants to place, so usually less surgery and a lower total investment
Against leaving the gap - stops nearby teeth drifting and helps protect your bite

Prefer a traditional option? We also provide dental crowns and bridges and can compare them honestly with implants at your appointment.

How it works

How your implant supported bridge is made

Treatment for an implant bridge happens in stages, with healing time built in between them. This is the usual path for patients at our Kallangur practice, though your dentist will tailor the timing to you.

Free consultation and bridge planning

We look closely at your gums, the teeth around the gap and the bone beneath it, using photographs and an OPG X-ray. From there we work out how many implants the bridge needs, where each will go, and which materials suit your bite. You receive a written plan and estimate, and this first visit is free.

Implant surgery

The supporting implants are placed under local anaesthetic, usually one near each end of the gap. Most patients feel some tenderness for a few days afterwards and are back to their normal routine soon after.

Healing time

The implants then need a few months to fuse with the surrounding bone. Where the gap is visible, we can arrange a temporary tooth replacement so you are not left without teeth while you wait.

Fitting the final bridge

Impressions or scans are used to craft your bridge in a shade and shape that blends with your natural teeth. We secure it to the implants, check how your teeth meet, and show you how to clean around it at home.

Good to know

Implant-Supported Bridges - frequently asked

How much does an implant bridge cost?

It depends on how many implants are needed, how many teeth the bridge replaces, the materials used and whether bone grafting is required. Because these vary from person to person, we give you a written estimate after your free consultation instead of a generic price. Payment plans may be available, subject to approval.

How many implants support a bridge?

Most bridges rest on two implants, one near each end of the gap, which can often hold three or four teeth. A longer span, softer bone or a heavy bite may call for a third implant. We confirm the right number from your X-ray and examination.

Implant bridge vs traditional bridge: what is the difference?

A traditional bridge is cemented to crowns on the natural teeth beside the gap, so those teeth must be reshaped. An implant bridge is held by implants in the jawbone and leaves neighbouring teeth untouched, while also keeping the bone under the gap active. A traditional bridge can be quicker to complete, so we discuss both with you.

How long does an implant bridge last?

With daily cleaning and regular check-ups, implants can remain in place for many years. The bridge itself is subject to everyday wear and may eventually need replacing, but it can usually be renewed on the same implants. Individual results vary.

Can I have an implant bridge if my teeth have been missing for a long time?

Often, yes. The key question is whether there is enough bone left to hold the implants. If the bone has thinned, a bone graft may be suggested first, and we check this at your consultation.

How do I clean under an implant bridge?

Brush twice a day as you would natural teeth, and clean underneath the bridge daily with floss threaders, small interdental brushes or a water flosser. Regular hygiene visits help keep the gums around the implants healthy.
