A Fixed Solution for Multiple Missing Teeth

Edmonton Implant-Supported Bridges

What Are

Implant-Supported Bridges?

An implant-supported bridge is a secure, long-lasting solution that uses dental implants to anchor a bridge — replacing multiple missing teeth in a row without the need for removable appliances.

Our Edmonton implant-supported bridges are planned by prosthodontic and periodontal specialists, with every phase coordinated from diagnosis to final restoration for a natural look, a secure feel, and results built for the long run.

How They Differ From

Traditional Bridges

A traditional dental bridge is anchored to the natural teeth on either side of a gap. An implant-supported bridge is anchored to dental implants instead; so it doesn’t rely on adjacent teeth for support, and it stays fixed in place.

Benefits of

Implant-Supported Bridges

at Vivid Specialized Dentistry

Zirconia Bridges, Crafted In-House

We use high-quality materials, including zirconia implant bridges and custom restorations crafted in our in-house lab, to deliver strength, natural aesthetics, and long-term performance.

Precision-Guided Technology

Using digital scans, CBCT imaging, and guided planning, implant placement is coordinated with the final restoration design — resulting in improved fit, function, and aesthetics.

Specialist-Led Treatment Planning

Your treatment is planned by prosthodontic and periodontal specialists to ensure precise placement, proper restoration design, and long-term success.

What to Expect From Implant-Supported Bridge Treatment

Comprehensive evaluation

We assess your oral health, bone structure, bite, and goals to determine the best solution for you.

Personalized treatment planning

Your plan is designed around ideal tooth placement for natural-looking, functional results.

Precise, minimally invasive placement

Advanced techniques allow for accurate implant placement with a focus on comfort and healing.

Restoration & long-term support

Your bridge is completed with a custom restoration and supported by ongoing maintenance to protect your investment.

Why an Implant-Supported Bridge Is Worth Considering

Your healthy teeth stay whole. Nothing beside the gap needs to be reshaped to hold the bridge.
The bite stays stable. The bridge is fixed to the implants, so it does not lift or shift while you eat.
The bone stays active. Implants pass chewing forces into the jaw, helping preserve bone where teeth were lost.
The result looks natural. Our in-house lab matches the bridge to the shape and shade of your surrounding teeth.

Who Plans Your

Bridge

Your bridge is designed and restored by our prosthodontists. Dr. Arif Sumar (BSc, DMD, FRCDC) is a Canadian board-certified specialist with a Certificate of Advanced Study in Prosthodontics from the University of Pittsburgh, and was a Clinical Instructor at the University of Alberta Implant Clinic from 2013 to 2025. Dr. Alisha Amlani (BDS, CAGS) trained at Boston University and holds a University of Alberta faculty appointment. The implants beneath the bridge are placed by periodontists Dr. Nazia Abrol (MSc Periodontology) and Dr. Mo Omar (PhD Periodontology). Meet your specialists.

Keeping an Implant-Supported Bridge Clean

Cleaning under the bridge is the part patients ask about most. A water flosser and the floss threaders we show you reach beneath the bridge where a regular brush cannot. Paired with brushing and professional cleanings every three to four months, this keeps the gum and bone around the implants healthy and the bridge secure.

See what’s possible when specialists lead

When life, time, or past dentistry leaves a mark, specialist-led care can rewrite the ending.

A Full-Mouth Reconstruction

Years of wear had left their mark. The solution? A complete reimagining. Custom crowns delivered what this patient deserved all along: a highly functional smile that looks flawless.

Fractured Front Tooth Restoration

After a hockey injury resulted in a fractured front tooth, this patient was concerned about both the appearance and stability of their heavily restored anterior teeth. A traditional dental bridge was used to restore the area, bringing back natural esthetics, symmetry, and strength – leaving the patient with a confident, seamless smile once again.

Recovering Comfort After Trauma

Severe facial trauma, advanced periodontal disease, a Class III bite, and failing teeth left him in persistent pain. With fixed upper and lower dentures, we rebuilt stability, comfort, and function. Today, he can chew confidently and smile freely without discomfort.

A Smile, Carefully Rebuilt

She came to us with missing permanent teeth from birth, retained baby teeth, and spacing that made everyday function a real concern. With a carefully coordinated plan using crowns, implant crowns, and an implant-supported bridge, we restored balance, comfort, and a natural look.

FAQs

What does treatment for Edmonton implant-supported bridges involve?

Treatment begins with a detailed consultation and diagnostic phase. After implant placement, a healing period allows the implants to integrate with the bone. Your custom bridge is then attached to complete your smile.

Am I a candidate?

Many patients are candidates, even those who’ve been told otherwise in the past. Bone grafting or staged treatment may be recommended in some cases. We’ll evaluate your situation and explain your options clearly.

What if I'm missing most or all of my teeth?

If you’re missing most or all of your teeth, a full-arch solution like Teeth in a Day (All-on-X) may be a better fit. If you currently wear dentures, we can also discuss implant-stabilized options. We’ll help you choose the path that aligns with your goals.

200+ 5-star reviews

I had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Arif Sumar in January and February of 2026 - a total of three visits - to have a crown placed on a back molar implant. Dr. Sumar and his staff delivered the highest quality of care, striking a perfect balance between being expertly professional and precise and warmly lighthearted and approachable. Dr. Sumar goes the extra mile in everything he and his staff does, yet the price of care is standard. Because of the high quality of care I received at Vivid, I will be returning for regular maintenance.

Dr Sumar and his team always exceed my expectations in every way. Everyone is professional and friendly and the care is outstanding. I had some extensive crown work completed by Dr Sumar after my orthodontic treatment about 4 years ago. I continually get comments from both friends, family members and even my dentist and hygienist on how natural and good they look. I highly recommend this office.

I had a good experience at Vivid Prosthodontics! The staff was super friendly and made me feel comfortable! The clinic is clean and welcoming, and my appointment was efficient. My teeth felt amazing after my treatment all thanks to the team! Def a five star totally recommend if you are new and are getting a crown

Wow, what a nice and welcoming environment! I felt bit nervous when I went for my cleaning and checkup, as everyone does going into a dental office, but all of the staff from the reception to the hygienist and the doctor were all very pleasant and professional. Everyone here just seemed to love working here. The booking was super smooth, intake was fast, and the procedure was painless, informative, and my teeth feel great now! I will definitely come back here and refer some of my friends too.

The committment to quality work is outstanding. Dr. Sumar and his team are perfectionists. Something I really appreciate when it comes to dental work. I have had a number of crowns here and have been impressed by the quality of work each time. Their committment to patient care is clear to see, they want what is best for their patients. I would highly recommend this clinic and Dr. Sumar!

Dr Sumar and his staff are all very wonderful! From the very moment you enter you become family. The premises are state of the art yet warm and welcoming. I’ve been a patient for a few years now and would highly recommend the team to anyone who needed advanced dental treatment. I can’t say enough great things about all of my experiences I’ve had the kindness I’ve received.
