In this video, lab technician John Barnes explains how implant-supported bridges replace multiple missing teeth, from small spans to full-arch restorations, and why they offer strength and long-term stability.

In some cases, this may mean connecting just a couple of teeth, while in others it can extend to a full “roundhouse” restoration that replaces all 14 teeth in an arch.
