REMOVABLE IMPLANT BRIDGES/PARTIALS

When multiple teeth are missing, an affordable option is removable dental implant bridges and/or partials

What is a removable implant bridge/partial?


A removable implant bridge or partial is a dental prosthetic that replaces one or more missing teeth. The prosthetic is held in place by dental implants, which are titanium posts that are surgically implanted into the jawbone.  The prosthetic is snapped into place.


Removable implant bridges and partials are a preferred method to replace teeth for many reasons. First, they are more comfortable than other options, such as dentures. They also provide a more natural look and feel, and they are easier to care for than dentures.


Second, removable implant bridges and partials are more stable than other replacement options. They will not slip or move around like dentures can, and they provide a more secure fit. This means that you can eat and drink without worry that your teeth will shift or come loose.


Third, removable implant bridges and partials can be made to match your natural teeth exactly. This provides a seamless appearance that looks completely natural. fourth, this type of tooth replacement is less expensive than other options, such as dental implants.

Taking Care of Removable Bridges and Partials

Taking care of removable implant bridges is similar to regular dentures. They should be cleaned daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and denture cleaner. It is important to avoid using harsh cleaners or abrasives, as these can damage the bridge or partial. In addition, it is important to take care when handling the bridge or partial, as dropping it can cause damage.


If you have a removable implant bridge or partial, it is important to see your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. Your dentist will also need to check the implants to make sure they are still in good health. With proper care, your removable implant bridge or partial can last for many years.


Advantages of a Removable Implant Bridge or Partial vs. Dentures


1. Removable implant bridges and partials are more securely held in place than regular dentures, making them much less likely to slip or move around while you're eating or speaking.


2. They also provide a more natural chewing function since the force is evenly distributed across the implants, rather than concentrated on a few teeth like with regular dentures.


3. Removable implant bridges and partials are easier to keep clean since they don't have all the nooks and crannies that dentures do, making it simpler to brush and floss effectively.


4. Lastly, they tend to be more comfortable since there's no pressure on your gums from ill-fitting dentures, and the implants help to support your cheeks and lips, preventing that sunken-in look that can happen with regular dentures.

What is the Treatment Process Like?


The process of getting a removable implant bridge or partial is relatively straightforward.


First, your dentist will take impressions or digital scans of your teeth in order to create a custom-fit prosthesis. Then, they will place the implants into your jawbone and allow them to heal for several weeks. Once the implants have fused with the bone, your dentist will attach the bridge or partial to the implants. Finally, you will be able to remove the bridge or partial for cleaning and care.
