Dental bridge with dental implants
Dental bridge with dental implants, known as an implant-supported fixed prosthesis or an implant-supported full-arch bridge, is a comprehensive dental restoration that replaces a full arch of missing teeth using dental implants as support.
A full-arch dental bridge offers several benefits, including improved chewing function, enhanced aesthetics, and preservation of facial structure. It can significantly enhance quality of life for individuals with extensive tooth loss.
Why Choose a Dental Bridge with Implants?
Natural Appearance
The bridge is custom-designed to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a flawless and natural-looking smile.
Enhanced Stability
Unlike traditional dentures, implant-supported bridges stay firmly in place, allowing you to chew and speak with confidence.
Improved Oral Health
Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving the natural structure of your face.
Durability
With proper care, implant-supported bridges can last for decades, making them a cost-effective and long-term investment in your dental health.
At Konstantinidis Dental Clinic in Athens, we are excited to offer a modern and reliable solution: dental bridges supported by implants. This innovative treatment is designed to restore your smile and functionality with long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Dental bridge with dental implants
Dental Implant
This is the part that is surgically placed into the jawbone. It typically resembles a screw and serves as the artificial tooth root.
abutment
This component connects the implant fixture to the prosthetic tooth or restoration. It protrudes from the gum line and provides support for the crown, bridge, or denture.

Dental bridge with dental implants : procedure
The success rate of dental implant procedures is generally very high, with success rates ranging from 95% to 98%.
consultation
The dentist evaluates the patient’s oral health, takes X-rays, and discusses the treatment plan, including any pre-existing conditions that may affect the procedure.
Implant Placement
During a surgical procedure, the implant fixture is placed into the jawbone. Over the next few months, the jawbone heals and fuses with the implant fixture in a process called osseointegration.
Prosthetic Tooth Placement
Once osseointegration is complete the implant denture is attached to the abutment.

FAQ
The number of implants depends on the number of missing teeth and the bridge’s length. Typically:
• For a bridge replacing 2-3 teeth, 2 implants are usually sufficient.
• For larger bridges, 3 or more implants may be required.
Our dentist will assess your specific case to determine the optimal number of implants.
Unlike a traditional bridge that relies on adjacent teeth for support, an implant-supported bridge is anchored directly to implants placed in the jawbone. This approach:
• Preserves natural teeth, as they don’t need to be shaved or altered.
• Offers more stability and durability.
• Prevents bone loss in the jaw.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the implant placement. Some patients experience mild discomfort or swelling afterward, but this can be managed with prescribed painkillers and typically resolves within a few days.
You may be a candidate if:
• You are missing multiple teeth.
• You have sufficient jawbone to support implants (or are willing to undergo bone grafting).
• You are in good general health and have healthy gums.
A consultation with our dentist will confirm your suitability for the procedure.
The cost depends on:
• The number of implants and the bridge’s material.
• Any additional procedures (e.g., bone grafting).
While the initial cost is higher than traditional bridges, the long-term durability and benefits make it a worthwhile investment.
