Bridge and Implants | Berwyn

Tooth-Supported bridges are the most common type of bridges. If you suffer from missing teeth, Dr. Robles can place a tooth-supported bridge at our office in Berwyn, IL, to improve your appearance and provide superior functionality and support. These dental bridges are supported by the natural teeth adjacent to your missing teeth. 

Dental implants are the closest that you can come to a natural tooth and it consists of an artificial tooth root, which is similar in shape to a screw. The dental implant gets placed into your jawbone during a short surgical procedure, and it will then bond with your bone so it is anchored strongly. This allows it to be a sturdy base to support one or more artificial teeth. 

This osseointegration process can take 3-6 months and once the process is finished, the next step is to take the abutment and attach it to the dental implant.
