Implant supported Bridge● An implant-supported bridge is similar to a regular dental
bridge, but it is supported by implants and not by natural teeth.
● In most cases, when an implant-supported bridge is used, one implant is placed in the jawbone for each missing tooth.
● Then the crowns are connected to each other to form one piece.
