Why Choose Implant Supported Bridges at Makris Dental?

Implant bridges require specialized expertise in surgical implant placement, prosthetic design, and understanding how multiple implants work together to support restorations. Dr. Cokovska's prosthodontic training provides the comprehensive skill set essential for exceptional outcomes.

Preserve Healthy Teeth

Unlike traditional bridges that require reshaping adjacent teeth for crowns, implant bridges stand independently, leaving your natural teeth completely untouched and intact.

Prosthodontic Specialization

Dr. Cokovska's three additional years of advanced training focused exclusively on complex tooth replacement ensures superior surgical and restorative results that general dentists cannot replicate.

Prevent Bone Loss

Dental implants stimulate jawbone like natural tooth roots, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs with traditional bridges and maintaining your facial structure over time.

Comprehensive Single Location Care

From implant placement through final bridge delivery, Dr. Cokovska provides all aspects of treatment in house, ensuring seamless coordination and optimal integration between surgery and prosthetics.

Our Advanced Technology

Creating successful implant supported bridges demands sophisticated technology for precise planning and execution. At Makris Dental Prosthodontics, we utilize 3D cone beam CT imaging to analyze bone structure, nerve locations, and anatomical considerations in exceptional detail.

Advanced treatment planning software allows Dr. Cokovska to virtually position implants at optimal angles and spacing to properly support your bridge before surgery begins. Digital intraoral scanning captures exact impressions for bridge fabrication without uncomfortable traditional materials. CAD/CAM technology designs bridges with superior fit and natural aesthetics.

Your Implant Bridge Experience at Makris Dental Prosthodontics

Receiving an implant supported bridge is a multi phase process that progresses from careful planning through final restoration delivery. Dr. Cokovska's systematic approach ensures comfortable treatment and predictable results.

01

Comprehensive Evaluation & Planning

Dr. Cokovska examines your oral health, takes 3D scans to assess bone structure, and discusses your goals. She determines how many implants you need, their optimal positions, and creates a detailed surgical and prosthetic plan.

02

Implant Placement Surgery

Using local anesthesia or sedation for your comfort, Dr. Cokovska places two or more dental implants strategically in your jawbone following the digital plan. Temporary teeth may be provided to maintain appearance during healing.

03

Healing & Osseointegration

Over three to six months, implants fuse with your jawbone through osseointegration, creating stable anchors for your bridge. Dr. Cokovska monitors healing through follow up appointments to ensure proper integration.

04

Bridge Fabrication & Final Placement

Once implants are fully integrated, Dr. Cokovska attaches connector abutments and takes precise impressions. Your custom bridge is fabricated from premium materials, then carefully positioned and secured to the implants for permanent restoration.

Benefits of Implant Supported Bridges

No Damage to Natural Teeth

Preserve the integrity of adjacent healthy teeth by eliminating the need to reshape them for crown support, maintaining their strength and longevity.

Superior Stability

Enjoy fixed teeth that never move, slip, or require removal, unlike removable partial dentures that can shift during eating or speaking.

Long Term Bone Preservation

Maintain jawbone density and facial structure by stimulating bone through implants, preventing the collapse that occurs with missing tooth roots.

Natural Function & Aesthetics

Restore full chewing ability and confidence with bridges that look, feel, and function like your natural teeth, custom crafted to blend seamlessly with your smile.

  • Want to avoid altering healthy adjacent teeth required for traditional bridges

Common Questions:

How many implants are needed to support a bridge?

This depends on how many teeth you're replacing and where they're located. Typically, two implants can support a bridge replacing three to four teeth. For longer spans or areas with heavy chewing forces like molars, additional implants may be needed for optimal stability. Dr. Cokovska will recommend the ideal number based on your specific situation.

How is an implant bridge different from a traditional bridge?

Traditional bridges require grinding down the healthy teeth on either side of the gap to serve as anchors, permanently altering those teeth. Implant bridges are supported by dental implants placed in the jawbone, leaving adjacent natural teeth completely untouched. Implant bridges also prevent bone loss and typically last longer than traditional bridges.

How long does the entire process take?

From implant placement to final bridge delivery typically takes four to six months, allowing time for implants to fully integrate with bone. You'll wear temporary teeth during healing so you're never without teeth. Some cases may qualify for shorter timelines, which Dr. Cokovska will discuss during your consultation.

Can implant bridges be used anywhere in the mouth?

Yes, implant bridges can replace missing teeth in any location, from front teeth requiring exceptional aesthetics to back teeth needing maximum strength for chewing. Dr. Cokovska designs each bridge specifically for its location, considering both functional demands and aesthetic requirements.
