An implant bridge is a fixed dental restoration that replaces several missing teeth in a row. It is supported by two or more implants placed in the jawbone, providing stability and preventing movement while restoring natural function and appearance.
If you have several missing teeth, implant bridges offer a secure, long-term solution that restores both appearance and function. At Lakewood Dental in Carshalton, we use advanced dental implants to support fixed bridges that look and feel just like natural teeth. Our skilled implant team combines digital precision, trusted implant systems, and compassionate care to rebuild smiles with confidence.

An implant bridge replaces several missing teeth in a row using two or more dental implants as anchors. These implants act as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable base for a custom-made bridge.
Unlike traditional dental bridges that rely on adjacent teeth for support, implant bridges are self-supporting. This means healthy teeth remain untouched, and the implants help to maintain jawbone density and facial structure.
The result is a strong, comfortable restoration that feels natural and allows you to enjoy your favourite foods again without worry.
01
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation at our Carshalton practice. We use CBCT and iTero 3D scans to create an exact digital model of your mouth and jaw. This enables our clinicians to plan the perfect position for each implant, ensuring long-term success.
02
Your implants are placed by Dr Javier Perez, our experienced Implantologist, under local anaesthetic. Each implant is positioned carefully to support the bridge in the most secure and comfortable way possible.
03
Over the following months, the implants naturally fuse with your jawbone. This process, known as osseointegration, creates a strong foundation for your new bridge. Temporary options can be discussed to maintain comfort during this period.
04
Once your implants are stable, a custom bridge is designed and crafted to match your natural smile. It is securely attached to the implants, restoring both appearance and bite strength.
05
Regular check-ups and professional hygiene visits will help keep your implants and bridge healthy for many years to come. With proper care, an implant bridge can provide lasting results that feel just like natural teeth.

An implant bridge is a fixed dental restoration that replaces several missing teeth in a row. It is supported by two or more implants placed in the jawbone, providing stability and preventing movement while restoring natural function and appearance.
The number of implants required depends on how many teeth are being replaced and the strength of your jawbone. Most implant bridges are supported by two to four implants per span, but your dentist will determine the exact number after digital scans and assessment.
Implant bridges don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support, meaning your healthy teeth remain untouched. They also stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss, and provide a secure, long-lasting solution that looks and feels more natural.
With regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene, implant bridges can last for many years. The implants themselves can last decades, while the bridge may need maintenance or replacement over time depending on use and care.
Most adults with good oral and general health are suitable. Adequate jawbone density is important for implant placement, but even if you’ve been told you have low bone volume, modern techniques may make treatment possible. A consultation with our implantologist will confirm your options.
