If i have a bridge on 3 implants will the new teeth need to be thicker than my own?

Q. I have 6 missing front teeth. If I have 3 implants and then a bridge for the 6 teeth will the new teeth be the same thickness as my real teeth or will they have to be thicker to make the bridge strong enough.

A. The restorations should be around the same thickness of you’re teeth were. I recommend that when you go to see the Implantologist for a consultation that you ask to see a portfolio of his/ her work to put you’re mind at ease.

Kind regards
Dr Justin Glaister
