A confident smile, rebuilt with strength at Red Lodge.
An implant-supported bridge is a fixed, long-lasting solution for replacing several missing teeth. Unlike traditional bridges, it’s anchored securely on dental implants, so there’s no need to compromise healthy teeth. Whether you're restoring your bite or rebuilding your smile, this advanced treatment offers stability, comfort and a natural appearance for Red Lodge patients.

Bridging the gap with dental implants at Red Lodge.
When several teeth in a row are missing, it’s not just your smile that’s affected: eating, speaking and even the shape of your face can change over time. Implant-supported bridges are designed to fill these gaps securely and naturally, helping to restore your mouth’s function and appearance with minimal disruption to surrounding teeth.
Understanding implant-supported bridges
An implant-supported bridge is a dental restoration similar to a regular dental bridge, but it is supported by dental implants instead of natural teeth. This type of bridge is often used when multiple teeth are missing.
Here’s how it works:
1. Implant placement. One or more dental implants are placed strategically in the jawbone to support the bridge. The exact number depends on how many teeth are missing and the strength of your bone, but typically fewer implants are needed than missing teeth. These implants act as artificial roots, providing a strong and stable foundation.
2. Bridge formation. After the implants have integrated with the jawbone, crowns are attached to the implants. These crowns are connected to form one continuous piece, creating a bridge.

Why choose an implant-supported bridge at Red Lodge?
Stronger and more secure than traditional bridges, implant-supported bridges restore multiple missing teeth with a natural look and feel, without compromising healthy teeth. They help preserve bone, improve bite strength and keep your smile stable for the long term.

Looking after your implant-supported bridge.
- Brush twice daily: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and low-abrasive toothpaste to gently clean around your bridge and implants.
- Floss carefully: Use floss threaders or interdental brushes designed for implants to clean between the bridge and gum line daily.
- Rinse with an antimicrobial mouthwash: This helps reduce bacteria and keep your gums healthy.
- Avoid hard or sticky foods: These can damage your bridge or put excessive pressure on the implants.
- Attend regular dental check-ups: Professional cleanings and exams help maintain your bridge and detect any potential issues early.
- Watch for changes: If you notice any discomfort, swelling, or looseness, contact your dentist promptly.

Your questions about dental implants at Red Lodge answered.
Wondering what your visit to Red Lodge will be like? Here are answers to some common questions from new patients.
Got a question we haven’t covered?
Our friendly team is ready to help, just give us a call for a quick response.
Unlike traditional bridges that rely on adjacent teeth for support, implant-supported bridges are anchored directly onto implants in the jawbone. This means your natural teeth remain untouched, and you get a stronger, longer-lasting solution.
The surgery involves placing small titanium posts into your jawbone under local anesthetic. These implants act as sturdy anchors for your bridge. The procedure is minimally invasive, and we offer IV sedation for particularly nervous patients.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort thanks to modern anesthetic and careful techniques. Any soreness afterward is usually manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and subsides within a few days
Once the bridge is fitted, usually a few months after implant placement, you’ll regain much of your chewing ability. During healing, we provide guidance on what foods to avoid and when to start eating normally.
Generally, you can enjoy most foods and activities as usual. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene and avoiding very hard or sticky foods will help prolong the life of your bridge.
With proper care, these bridges can last 15 years or more. Regular dental visits to our Suffolk surgery and good oral hygiene are essential for durability.
Smoking can affect healing and increase the risk of implant failure. Dr Georgios will discuss this during your consultation at Red Lodge and advise on the best approach for you.
