Transform Your Smile with Dental Implant-Supported Bridges at Kiama Dental in Kiama, NSW

Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, and once they bond with the bone, a custom-designed bridge is attached. This bridge replaces missing teeth and enhances both function and appearance.

With proper maintenance, implant-supported bridges can last for 15 to 25 years, and in some cases, even longer.

Yes, they provide greater durability, stability, and a more natural appearance. Unlike traditional bridges, they don’t require altering healthy teeth for support.

If you have healthy gums and enough bone in your jaw to support the implants, you are likely a good candidate. A consultation at Kiama Dental will help determine your eligibility.

While rare, potential risks include infection, implant failure, or complications during healing. However, these can typically be managed with proper care and follow-up visits.

The cost can vary depending on the number of implants needed and the complexity of the treatment. Contact Kiama Dental for a detailed consultation and cost estimate.
