Tooth loss leads to noticeable gaps in smiles, impacting appearance and oral health. A dental bridge fills these gaps with artificial teeth. Traditional bridges are attached to surrounding teeth. For superior stability, our Queens dental practice offers implant-supported bridges.
These bridges are anchored by surgically embedded titanium posts in the jawbone, providing comfort and strength. Contact our office to learn how implant-supported bridges can enhance your smile’s form and function.
Take this 15-second quiz to see if dental implants are right for you!
When you arrive at Astoria Dental Group for a consultation, the doctor will first perform a thorough inspection of your gums, teeth, and jaw to evaluate your candidacy for an implant-supported bridge. In addition to being free of periodontal diseases, patients should also have an adequate amount of dense, healthy bone in their jaw. When teeth are missing, the jawbone will atrophy, or shrink, over time. Dental implants are the only treatment that can halt this process. If necessary, our doctors can perform periodontal treatments and bone grafting procedures to ensure your jaw is strong enough for implant surgery.
We understand that no two smiles are alike. Our skilled team will provide compassionate, customized care based on your unique needs.
During the implant procedure, the doctor will place titanium posts directly in the jawbone. Drs. Degel and Every-Degel use advanced imaging techniques like computerized tomography (CT) scans to plan every step of the process and ensure optimal placement of implants. Over the course of four to six months, the posts will integrate with the bone and eventually act as tooth roots. Once this process is complete, you will undergo an additional procedure to attach an abutment to your implants. The abutment rests above the gum line and allows the doctor to secure your bridge with unmatched stability.

Your custom-designed dental bridge will be created at an advanced off-site laboratory. We offer bridges made from high-quality materials like ceramic or Prettau® zirconia, which are very durable, and mimic the look of natural enamel with incredible accuracy.
To anchor your Prettau bridge, the doctor creates small portals in the jawbone, into which the titanium implants are placed. Once the implants have integrated with jaw and the incisions around your abutment have healed, you will return to our office to have your implant-supported bridge placed. The doctor will use images and impressions of your smile to ensure a comfortable and functional fit for your restoration, before securely attaching it to the abutment. With your implant-supported bridge in place, you can enjoy a smile with renewed strength and aesthetic appeal.
