Traditional Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a tried-and-true restoration method used to close the gaps created by missing teeth. Composed of one or more artificial teeth, a bridge is anchored to the neighboring teeth or implants, effectively restoring your ability to chew and speak properly. Besides improving oral function, dental bridges prevent the shifting of adjacent teeth, maintaining the integrity of your bite and facial structure. Our bridges are crafted to look and function like your natural teeth, offering a durable and cosmetically appealing solution.

All-On-4 and All-On-6 Implant Bridges: A Comprehensive Solution

For those seeking a more permanent and extensive solution for tooth loss, Forest Trail Dental Care offers advanced implant-supported bridges, specifically the All-On-4 and All-On-6 systems. These innovative treatments provide a fixed, full-arch restoration using four or six dental implants as anchors, respectively.

  • All-On-4 Dental Implants: This method utilizes four strategically placed implants in each arch, two of which are angled to maximize the use of available bone. This system is often suitable for patients with lower bone density, as it may eliminate the need for bone grafting. The All-On-4 option is celebrated for its efficiency and ability to provide immediate results with a fixed full-arch prosthesis.
  • All-On-6 Dental Implants: Offering enhanced stability and support, the All-On-6 system uses six implants to anchor the dental bridge. This option can be ideal for patients looking for a more distributed support system across the jaw, potentially providing greater longevity and a more natural distribution of biting forces.

Choosing Between All-On-4 and All-On-6

The decision between All-On-4 and All-On-6 implant bridges depends on several factors, including the patient’s bone density, oral health status, and specific aesthetic and functional needs. While both options offer significant improvements in quality of life, stability, and comfort compared to traditional dentures, the All-On-6 system may offer additional support and durability for some patients, albeit at a higher cost and with potentially more complex cleaning requirements.

Hybrid and Implant Bridge Prostheses

For both the All-On-4 and All-On-6 systems, patients have the option of selecting hybrid or implant bridges as their prosthesis. Hybrid prostheses offer a fixed solution that closely mimics natural teeth in appearance and function, providing a long-lasting restoration that supports facial structure and oral health. Implant bridges, on the other hand, offer a fixed, non-removable solution that replaces multiple missing teeth with a bridge supported by implants, providing strength and stability akin to natural teeth.
