Implant-Supported Bridges: The Stable Solution for West Palm Beach Residents
If you are missing three or four teeth in a row, you know how difficult it can be to chew comfortably or smile with confidence. Traditional dentures can slip, and traditional bridges require grinding down healthy teeth to support them.
At Gardens Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry, we offer a superior solution for our neighbors in West Palm Beach: the Implant-Supported Bridge.
Unlike a traditional bridge that relies on natural teeth for support, this advanced restoration is anchored to two dental implants placed securely in the jawbone. This creates a "bridge" of beautiful, custom-made teeth that spans the gap. It is stable, permanent, and preserves your remaining healthy teeth.
Why Choose Gardens for Your Implant Bridge?
For patients in West Palm Beach seeking a permanent solution for tooth loss, Dr. Hans Almanzar offers a level of expertise that ensures your investment lasts a lifetime.
Implant Expertise: Dr. Hans Almanzar is a Master of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (MICOI). He understands the physics and biology required to support a multi-tooth bridge securely.
Preserving Healthy Teeth: A traditional bridge requires cutting down the teeth on either side of the gap. An implant-supported bridge stands on its own, leaving your natural, healthy teeth untouched.
Bone Preservation: The implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs under a traditional bridge or partial denture.
Seamless Aesthetics: We use high-strength zirconia or porcelain to craft a bridge that looks exactly like individual teeth emerging from the gums, matching your natural shade perfectly.
PROCEDURE
The Implant-Supported Bridge Procedure
We have designed a seamless workflow for our West Palm Beach patients to restore their smiles efficiently.
The Evaluation: We use 3D CBCT imaging to map your jawbone and determine the optimal position for the two implants that will support the bridge.
Implant Placement: Dr. Almanzar surgically places the titanium implants. This is a comfortable procedure, often performed under sedation.
Healing Phase: Over the next few months, the implants fuse with the bone (osseointegration), creating anchors strong enough to withstand the force of chewing.
Bridge Fabrication & Placement: Once healed, we attach custom abutments and your final fixed bridge. We check your bite to ensure perfect function, and you leave with a complete, stable smile.
TESTIMONIAL
Patient Success Story: Ditching the Partial Denture
Actual Patient Scenario
The Challenge: "Robert," a 62-year-old from West Palm Beach, had a removable partial denture to replace three missing teeth on his lower left side. He hated it. Food got stuck underneath it, the metal clasps were visible when he smiled, and he couldn't eat corn on the cob.
The Solution: Robert came to Gardens Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry looking for a fixed option. Dr. Almanzar recommended an implant-supported bridge. We placed two implants, one at each end of the gap, to support a solid bridge of three teeth.
The Result: Robert tossed his partial denture in the trash. He loves that his new bridge stays in his mouth 24/7 and that he can brush it just like his natural teeth. He told us, "It feels like I got my real teeth back."
