Bridges and dentures in Algeciras
Fixed on implants or removable, depending on what your bone allows.
What decides whether you can have something fixed
Most patients would rather have something fixed. Whether that is possible depends mainly on the bone available to anchor implants and on the state of whatever teeth remain. It is a question of anatomy, not of budget.
When fixed is not possible to begin with
Sometimes it becomes possible after a stage of bone regeneration. Other times a well-fitted removable solution is the right answer, and it remains functional and far better than living with several missing teeth and replacing none of them.
The CT scan decides which options are genuinely viable in each case.
-
Replaces several teeth at once
A single prosthesis restores the whole missing section, in fewer visits than one implant per tooth.
-
Implant-supported, no healthy teeth shaped
An implant-supported bridge avoids loading the neighbouring teeth and slows bone loss in the gap.
-
A fixed result
Unlike a removable denture, it isn't taken out to eat or sleep.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about this treatment
01 What's the difference between a conventional bridge and an implant-supported one?
A conventional bridge anchors by shaping down the two teeth bordering the gap. An implant-supported bridge anchors on one or two implants instead of natural teeth: it shapes nothing healthy and slows bone loss under the gap.
02 Does a conventional bridge damage the neighbouring teeth?
It requires shaping them down to fit the crowns that support it, which weakens them long-term. That's its main drawback compared with an implant-supported bridge.
03 How many teeth can a bridge replace?
It depends on the gap and the support available. When very few teeth are missing, a bridge covers the section; when an entire arch is missing, the solution is no longer a bridge but a full-arch rehabilitation.
04 Can I eat normally with a bridge?
Yes, it's a fixed prosthesis: it isn't removed to eat or sleep. Hygiene underneath it should be kept up with interdental brushes or a water flosser.
