Implant-Supported Bridges in Jersey City, NJ

Maintenance is straightforward and involves practicing excellent oral hygiene, such as daily brushing and flossing. You should also attend regular follow-up appointments and avoid habits like chewing on extremely sticky or hard candies that could damage the porcelain.

The titanium implants themselves are designed to last a lifetime with proper care. The crowns or replacement teeth attached to those implants typically have a lifespan of up to 15 years before they may need to be repaired or replaced.

The number of implants depends on the location and number of teeth being replaced. While every case is unique, dentists frequently use two implants to support a three-tooth bridge unit, which can be a very cost-effective approach.

It is a fixed dental restoration that replaces several missing teeth by anchoring a bridge to dental implants instead of natural teeth. This provides a much more stable foundation than traditional bridges, which rely on suction or the support of adjacent teeth.
