Q&A / Implant-Fixed Bridges in Puerto Vallarta

Unlike traditional bridges, implant-fixed bridges don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support. This preserves the health of neighboring teeth and provides a stronger, more stable solution.

The implants are placed first, followed by a healing period for osseointegration (3–6 months). Once fully integrated, the bridge is custom-fitted for a permanent restoration.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation, minimizing discomfort. Mild soreness may occur after surgery, but it usually resolves within a few days.

With proper care and regular dental visits at Dentalestetic, implant-fixed bridges can last 15 years or more, often providing a lifetime of reliable function.

Ideal candidates are patients with missing teeth and sufficient jawbone density. Dentalestetic evaluates each case with digital imaging to determine the best treatment plan.
