Fixed Bridges
Fixed bridges offer a reliable way to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth on either side. At Duffield Dental Practice, we provide beautifully crafted bridges that restore your bite, smile, and confidence - without the need for removable appliances.
When Fixed Bridges Are Used:
-
To replace one or more missing teeth
-
When the teeth on either side of the gap are strong enough to support crowns
-
As a stable alternative to removable dentures
Benefits:
-
Restores your ability to eat and speak with confidence
-
Prevents remaining teeth from shifting out of place
-
Blends naturally with your existing teeth
-
Fixed solution - no need to remove for cleaning
Mixed Bridge and Dentures (Implant-Retained Dentures)
Mixed bridge and denture systems (also known as implant-retained dentures) offer a modern and secure alternative to traditional removable dentures. Instead of attaching a crown to each implant, we place small connector points - such as magnets, clips, or bars - onto the implants. A specially made denture then attaches firmly to these points, dramatically improving comfort, stability, and function.
How It Works:
-
2 implants are placed in the lower jaw or 4 in the upper jaw.
-
These implants act as secure anchors for the denture.
-
The denture is designed to attach snugly to the implants using magnetic or mechanical connections.
-
The result is a denture that stays in place, feels more natural, and gives you greater confidence.
Ideal For:
-
Patients who struggle with loose or uncomfortable lower dentures
-
Those looking for a secure solution without the need for multiple individual crowns
-
Individuals wanting improved function and stability without committing to full fixed bridges
Benefits:
-
Dramatically improved denture retention - no more slipping or clicking
-
Better chewing and speaking ability
-
Easier to clean than traditional bridgework
-
Less invasive than full-arch implant bridges
-
Cost-effective compared to multiple implant crowns
