How many implants do I need for a bridge?

Typically, one implant is placed at each end of the gap, with the artificial teeth (pontics) suspended between them. A 3-tooth gap requires 2 implants; a 4-tooth gap may require 2–3 implants depending on the location and bite forces.

How long does an implant bridge last?

The implant posts are designed to last a lifetime. The bridge itself typically lasts 15–20+ years with proper care. Zirconia bridges are particularly durable and resistant to chipping.

How many trips to Los Algodones do I need?

Most patients require 2 trips: the first for implant placement (and extractions if needed), and the second 3–6 months later for bridge fabrication and placement.

Implant-Supported Bridges in Los Algodones

Q: How is an implant-supported bridge different from a traditional bridge?

A traditional bridge is supported by the natural teeth on either side of the gap, which must be ground down to accept crowns. An implant-supported bridge is anchored by titanium implants, so no healthy teeth are damaged. Implant bridges also prevent bone loss under the missing teeth, which traditional bridges cannot do.

Replace multiple consecutive missing teeth with a fixed bridge supported by implants — no grinding of healthy teeth, no bone loss, permanent results.

Replace Multiple Teeth Without Touching Healthy Ones

An implant-supported bridge is used to replace two or more consecutive missing teeth. Instead of relying on adjacent natural teeth for support (as a traditional bridge does), an implant-supported bridge is anchored by titanium implants placed at each end of the gap. This means no healthy teeth need to be ground down, and the jawbone is preserved under the missing teeth.

Implant-supported bridges are an excellent middle ground between single implants (for one missing tooth) and full-arch implants (for all missing teeth). They provide a permanent, fixed restoration that looks and functions like natural teeth.

At Molar City MX, implant-supported bridges are fabricated using high-strength zirconia or porcelain-fused-to-metal, with Nobel Biocare or Straumann implant posts. A 3-unit implant bridge that costs $6,000–$9,000 in the US is available at our clinic for $1,800–$3,000.

Why Choose Molar City MX?

No Damage to Healthy Teeth

Unlike traditional bridges, implant-supported bridges don't require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth.

Prevents Bone Loss

Implants stimulate the jawbone under the missing teeth, preventing the bone resorption that causes facial sagging.

Permanent Fixed Restoration

The bridge is permanently cemented or screwed in — it doesn't come out and doesn't require adhesives.

Natural Appearance

Custom-fabricated zirconia or porcelain restorations are designed to match your natural teeth perfectly.

Easier to Clean Than Dentures

Clean your implant bridge with a toothbrush and floss threader — no soaking required.
