What are Implant Bridges?
Implant bridges are an alternative to dentures. They can replace a section of missing teeth or an entire arch. They contain the gum section that shows and false teeth made of porcelain material. The bridge is supported by at least four dental implants per arch. The dental implants are surgically inserted into the jaw bone and hold the bridge in place. The implants work just like tooth roots of natural teeth. They allow the bridge to move and function just like natural teeth.
Discover CeraSmile® Implant Bridges
One of the best options for implant bridges on the market is CeraSmile®. CeraSmile® combines the power of traditional implant bridges with neuromuscular dentistry to not just replace missing teeth, but completely rejuvenate one’s facial features. The neuromuscular technique helps support your facial features to help you look younger. It also helps the implant bridge fit more comfortably and provides better functionality.
Benefits of CeraSmile®
When you choose CeraSmile® over other types of implant bridges on the market, you’ll gain access to a lot of amazing benefits.
Younger Looking Appearance
One of the top benefits of CeraSmile® is that it can help you look younger. After wearing dentures for years, your jaw bone has likely resorbed. As it resorbs, there is no longer anything to support your facial structure. With CeraSmile®, the dental implants as well as the dental bridge designed with neuromuscular elements, will provide your facial structure with the support it once had and shave years off your appearance. You will also retain bone.
Eating is a Breeze
Never have to worry about biting into corn on the cob or worrying that your dentures will fall out when you’re eating. With CeraSmile®, chewing and eating feel natural and normal again. The implants hold your replacement teeth securely in place.
Made With Durable Materials
One aspect that makes CeraSmile® completely different from dentures and from other implant bridges on the market is the materials it’s made with. CeraSmile® uses yttria-stabilized zirconia which is an advanced ceramic that’s more durable than titanium. Typical dentures usually use acrylic which is a type of plastic. The advanced materials used with CeraSmile® help them look more natural than other implant bridges on the market.
New Smile in One Day
Another great benefit of CeraSmile® is that the procedure only takes one day. Your dentist can remove your dentures, place your dental implants, and apply a temporary implant bridge in place while your jaw heals. Then, your dentist will attach your permanent implant bridge for you to enjoy for years to come. You never have to go a single day without teeth.
Long-Lasting Results
With proper care and maintenance, your implant bridge with CeraSmile® can last you for years to come. Dental implants alone can last over 30 years, and for some, up to 50 years. When you choose CeraSmile®, you choose a smile that lasts for years to come. This is the opposite of traditional dentures that usually need to be replaced after five years.
What is the Transition Like?
The transition from dentures to an implant bridge is actually easier than you might think thanks to a one-day procedure. Although if you need a bone graft to be a good candidate for dental implants, your entire procedure process may take a bit longer. Bone grafts typically occur four to six months before placing the implants. Then after you receive your implants, you will wear a temporary bridge while your jaw heals. It will still be fully functional and it will allow you time to get used to wearing a bridge instead of dentures.
Then, once your jaw is completely healed, your dentist will attach your permanent restoration. You will find that eating, speaking, tasting food, smiling, and living with your implant bridge is an ultimately transformative experience. The transition is nothing but positives and benefits.
The only thing that will change in your routine is how you clean your replacement teeth. You will also experience more control with eating and speaking.
