What Is Dental Bridge Implant?
Dental Bridge Implant using Straumann SLA implants is a restorative solution that replaces multiple missing teeth with a dental bridge anchored directly to the jawbone via dental implants. The SLA surface (Sandblasted, Large-grit, Acid-etched) promotes strong osseointegration, creating a stable, long-lasting foundation for the dental bridge.
Unlike traditional dental bridges that rely on adjacent teeth, Straumann SLA bridge implants act as artificial roots, providing a secure base that looks and functions like natural teeth. Some treatments use Roxolid material, a titanium-zirconium alloy, allowing smaller implants without compromising strength. Depending on the plan, the bridge may be supported by as few as four implants, similar to All-On-4 procedures.
How It Works
Dental Bridge Implant starts with a comprehensive oral examination to assess jawbone quality and determine optimal implant placement. Under local anesthesia, small gum incisions are made, and Straumann SLA implants are inserted into the jawbone. The SLA surface encourages bone cells to attach to the implant (osseointegration), creating a firm foundation.
A temporary dental bridge may be placed immediately for function and aesthetics. Over the next 3 to 6 months, the implants integrate fully with the bone. After healing, a custom permanent dental bridge is attached to the implants, restoring chewing, speech, and smile aesthetics. The use of Roxolid implants allows strong support even with smaller implant sizes, and fewer implants may be needed to support the bridge.
