Implant Bridges in Jackson Heights That Spare Your Teeth

How an Implant Bridge Spans Several Missing Teeth

An implant bridge at Queens Central Dental replaces several missing teeth in a row with joined teeth held up by dental implants at each end. You don’t take it out.

Each implant is a small post set in the jawbone and topped with an abutment, the connector the bridge attaches to. The teeth in between, called pontics, rest on the gum without posts of their own. That’s how fewer posts work.

When the Gap Is Too Wide for One Implant

Three or more missing teeth in a row is the usual reason to look at an implant bridge, since one implant can’t fill that space. Some have worn a partial for years.

The common worries are paying for an implant in every gap and having healthy neighbors drilled down for a regular bridge. An implant bridge avoids both. Surprise costs are the other fear.

From Implant Surgery to Final Fit With Dr. Ames

Queens Central Dental keeps implant bridges in one set of hands, with Dr. Ilya Ames placing the posts and fitting the bridge himself. With more than 20 years in practice, he’s a dental implants provider whose work also covers implant dentures and single implants. SUNY Buffalo awarded his DDS.

X-rays show whether there’s enough bone at each end to hold a post, and if there isn’t, grafting is planned before anything else. Nothing gets placed blind.

Two to Six Months of Healing, Then Your Bridge

At our Jackson Heights office, an implant bridge comes together in stages, since the posts need two to six months to bond with the jawbone. Temporary teeth can sometimes fill in. You see the full price before the first stage.

An old bridge that’s loose, or a tooth under it that’s decaying, is a common reason to look at an implant bridge instead. Catching it early keeps options open.

Implant Bridges for Corona and Jackson Heights

Implant bridges at our office are within easy reach for anyone living inside about five miles of Jackson Heights, Corona and Flushing included. Corona is especially close.

Grab an icy at the Lemon Ice King of Corona or walk through Flushing Meadows–Corona Park? Then you’re in our range. Plus, with Saturday hours from 9 AM to 3 PM, the follow-up visits after your posts go in are easier to fit around work.

FAQs

What are implant dentures?

Implant dentures are full or partial dentures that attach to dental implants, small posts placed in the jawbone, instead of resting on the gums. Some snap on and off for cleaning, and others are fixed in place and only removed by a dentist. Either way, they don’t rely on adhesive.

How much do implant dentures cost?

Queens Central Dental prices implant dentures as one total that covers extractions, any bone grafting, the posts, and the denture itself, so the figure depends on your mouth. Dr. Ames gives you that number after an exam and X-rays, before anything is scheduled.

Which is better, dentures or implants?

Neither is better for everyone. Implant dentures stay put when you chew and help prevent bone loss in the jaw, while regular dentures cost less and don’t need surgery. The right choice depends on your bone, your overall health, and your budget.

Can you get implants after wearing dentures?

Yes, many people who’ve worn dentures for years can switch to implant dentures, as long as the jaw has enough bone to hold the posts. If the bone has thinned, a bone graft can often rebuild the area first. X-rays show where your jaw stands.

Is the implant denture procedure painful?

Implant placement is done with the area numbed, so the procedure itself shouldn’t be painful. Most people return to routine activities within two to three days and feel back to normal in about a week. Some soreness in between is common.
