Fixed Bridge on Dental Implants
Best screw-retained Zirconium bridge on implants
For people who are missing most or all of their teeth, complete jaw restoration can be a viable solution. This procedure involves using a fixed dental bridge, which typically consists of 12 to 14 crowns that are cemented or screw-retained onto dental implants. Two popular techniques for this type of restoration are the All-on-4 and All-on-6 methods, which involve securing the bridge onto either four or six implants, respectively.
Dental bridges can be made from various materials, including resin, ceramic, and zirconia. Among these options, monolithic zirconia is a top-of-the-line choice for dentures that are screw-retained onto dental implants.
Full Dental Bridge on Implants
1. Definition
The full dental bridge, fixed on implants, is the ideal solution for the permanent rehabilitation of full jaw. This procedure consists of the permanent replacement of all the teeth of a dental arch by a fixed bridge of 12 to 14 artificial teeth made of ceramic or zirconia.
The complete bridge on implants is recommended for edentulous people or people who have lost many of their teeth. A full bridge is considered the best choice for people who want to rebuild their entire dental arch and regain their chewing function and beautiful smile.
2. Types of full bridge on implants
The dental bridge will be permanently fixed on several dental implants. The implants are placed in strategic and high bone density positions of the jaw. With this technique we can avoid long and expensive treatments of bone grafting and sinus lifting.
The two best-known variants of this technique are called All-on-4 and All-on-6. The All-on-4 technique uses a screw-retained bridge on four dental implants while the All-on-6 technique uses a bridge on six dental implants, giving the prosthesis more stability and comfort.

A thorough clinical examination of the entire mouth and the remaining teeth, complemented with a panoramic X-ray and a 3D scan is necessary to establish the final accurate treatment plan. The surgeon must check the quality of the jawbone and determine the exact number of implants needed, as well as their positions and directions. The surgeon will also discuss with the patient the choice of the dental prostheses best suited to his case.
At the end of this examination, a final estimate is submitted to the patient for approval.
The placement of the dental implants for a full jaw restoration is performed in a dental operating room and lasts a few hours, depending on the number of implants and extractions In most cases a temporary denture is installed immediately after the placement of the implants to allow the patient to eat properly and to have a pleasant aesthetic during the healing period. Strict adherence to hygiene and aseptic standards and protocols during the healing period is particularly important to diminish any risk of infection that can lead to implant failure.
Complete jaw restoration with dental implants is not a painful procedure. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and often with no or little pain. However, as with any surgical procedure, a small discomfort or pain may appear a few hours after the procedure but can be easily relieved with analgesics or anti-inflammatory drugs systematically provided by the dental clinic.
The healing period is essential for the stability and viability of dental implants that will support the permanent bridge. It will allow the implants to integrate well into the jawbone. In the case of an immediate placement of a temporary prosthesis, a soft diet during the entire healing period should be strictly observed without any exception.
The choice of materials for a fixed prosthesis depends on several factors:
- The quality of the patient’s bone because the weight of a prosthesis is different depending on the type of material chosen
- The final aesthetic effect desired by the patient
- The patient’s budget
