Implant retained bridges in Sheffield and Manchester
A fixed, natural-looking replacement for several missing teeth in a row. Anchored to dental implants rather than your neighbouring teeth, so you can eat, speak and smile with confidence.
Expert-led implant care for a secure, natural result
Every implant bridge begins with a comprehensive assessment. Your treatment is guided by:
✔ How many teeth are missing and where they are
✔ The health and volume of your jawbone
✔ The position of your nerves and sinuses
✔ Your bite and the teeth either side of the gap
✔ Your gum health, oral hygiene and general health
Using modern imaging and planning techniques, we design your treatment around your individual needs and long-term oral health. Our clinicians take a measured, conservative approach, focusing on predictable outcomes and your comfort at every stage.
What is an implant retained bridge?
An implant retained bridge is a fixed dental bridge supported by two or more dental implants. The implants act as artificial tooth roots, holding the bridge firmly in place and preventing movement.
Unlike a traditional bridge, an implant retained bridge doesn't need healthy adjacent teeth to be trimmed or altered, which helps preserve your natural tooth structure and maintain jawbone health. It also doesn't need one implant for every missing tooth. For example, a bridge replacing three teeth in a row can often be supported by two implants, although the right number depends on your mouth and bite.

The benefits of an implant retained bridge
Implant retained bridges offer several advantages:
✔ A fixed, secure solution for multiple missing teeth
✔ Natural-looking results designed to blend with your smile
✔ Improved comfort and stability compared with removable options
✔ No trimming of healthy neighbouring teeth
✔ Preservation of jawbone and facial structure
✔ Long-lasting results with proper care
Because the implants stay in the bone, they help keep it stimulated and supported, which a bridge resting on neighbouring teeth can't do. This restores both function and appearance, so you can eat, speak and smile with confidence.

Frequently asked questions
These frequently asked questions are designed to give clear, honest information about implant retained bridges. If you have further questions, we can discuss them in detail at your consultation.
How many implants are needed for an implant retained bridge?
The number of implants depends on how many teeth are being replaced and their position in the mouth. In many cases, two or more implants support a bridge replacing several teeth. Your dentist will recommend the most suitable option at your consultation.
Are implant retained bridges removable?
They're fixed in place and aren't removed daily like dentures. They're designed to stay securely in position, offering excellent stability and a natural feel. In some cases, the bridge may be removable by a clinician for maintenance.
How long do implant retained bridges last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, implant retained bridges can last many years. The implants are designed to be long-lasting, while the bridge may occasionally need maintenance or replacement over time.
Is implant bridge treatment painful?
Most patients find implant treatment more comfortable than expected. The procedure is carried out with appropriate pain control, and any post-treatment discomfort is usually mild and temporary.
How much does an implant retained bridge cost?
From £3,995. Your fee is confirmed at your consultation, based on the number of implants and teeth. Bone grafting, if needed, is from £750, and a CBCT scan with report is from £195. A new patient exam is £69.
Is an implant bridge better than a traditional bridge?
It depends on your situation. Implants avoid trimming healthy teeth and help support the bone, but take longer and cost more. We'll explain both so you can choose.
Can I have an implant bridge if I smoke or have gum disease?
Gum disease needs treating first, and smoking raises the risk of implant problems. We'll discuss how to give your implants the best chance of success.
Who carries out implant treatment?
Our implant care involves experienced clinicians, including consultants in oral and maxillofacial surgery and prosthodontics.
