Implant bridge at Aspen Dental
Overview
Restore multiple missing teeth with a solution that looks and feels natural.

Unlike removable options, your implant bridge is fixed in place and designed to function much like your natural teeth.

What is a dental implant bridge?
A dental implant bridge is a secure way to replace several missing teeth at once. Instead of relying on nearby teeth for support, the bridge attaches to dental implants placed in your jawbone. This creates a stable foundation that helps your bridge look and feel more like natural teeth.
How much does an implant bridge cost?
Your implant bridge cost depends on your specific needs, including how many teeth are being replaced and the type of bridge your Aspen Dental provider recommends. During your visit, your provider will explain each step of your treatment and share a personalized estimate so you know how your plan fits your goals and your budget.
Type of bridge and materials used

Any preparatory care needed before placement
Your insurance coverage and 3rd-party financing options
Your Aspen Dental provider will help you understand how each of these factors may apply to your care and build a treatment plan that supports your smile and your budget.

Frequently asked questions about implant bridges
Coverage for an implant bridge varies by plan. Some insurance plans may help with the bridge portion, while coverage for the implant or implant procedure itself can differ. Your Aspen Dental provider will review your benefits, verify coverage and explain how your plan may apply to your treatment. Please note, Medicaid is not accepted at Aspen Dental offices.
Dental implants are titanium posts placed in the jawbone to replace tooth roots. Traditional dental bridges rely on nearby natural teeth for support. An implant bridge combines both approaches by attaching a custom bridge to dental implants instead of natural teeth.
Key differences dental bridge vs implant:
Implants replace tooth roots, while traditional bridges replace only the visible teeth
Implants help support jawbone health
Traditional bridges require filing down healthy teeth, while implant bridges do not
Your provider will help you compare these options during your visit.
Most implant bridges use two implants to support a 3-tooth restoration, but your exact number can vary. Your provider will look at the number of missing teeth, your bone health and your overall treatment goals to determine the right approach for your smile.
Once your implant bridge has healed, you can enjoy a wide variety of foods with comfortable, stable support. Because the bridge is anchored to implants, it is designed to stay in place during everyday biting and chewing.
During the healing period, your provider may recommend softer foods. You’ll receive clear dietary guidance based on your treatment plan and healing progress.
A 3-tooth implant bridge uses two dental implants to support a bridge that replaces three missing teeth. The full process typically includes healing time and final restoration. Your Aspen Dental provider will evaluate your needs, review treatment steps and help you understand what to expect.
With good daily care and regular visits, an implant-supported bridge can serve you well for many years. The implants themselves are designed for long-term stability, and the bridge portion may eventually need replacement due to natural wear.
The implants themselves are designed to last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.
Your treatment timeline will depend on your specific needs, but most implant bridge plans follow a few key steps:
Consultation — Your provider evaluates your oral health and builds a personalized treatment plan
Preparatory care, if needed — Some patients may need care such as extractions or bone grafting before implants are placed. Your provider will let you know if this step applies to you.
Implant placement — Compromised teeth are removed if needed and implant posts are placed
Healing period — The implants bond with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration
Bridge placement — A custom bridge is attached to the healed implants
If any compromised teeth need to be removed, your provider will complete those extractions and place the implant posts during the same appointment when appropriate. This step creates the foundation your implant bridge will need as you move into the healing phase.
