When several neighboring teeth are missing, an implant-supported bridge is the most recommended treatment option for replacing them. A traditional dental implant bridge consists of one or two artificial teeth connected to crowns on both sides placed on dental implants to hold the bridge in place. A dental implant bridge may be used to replace three or more missing teeth.
When multiple neighboring teeth are missing, the bone will begin to resorb and shrink rapidly. The surrounding teeth will start to shift and move into the open space. The remaining teeth begin to overcompensate for the lost teeth, and they too risk being lost.
