For individuals dealing with multiple missing teeth or complete tooth loss, finding a durable, natural-looking, and long-lasting solution is essential for restoring confidence and function. At Ora Dental Implant Studio in Elk Grove, we specialize in advanced full-arch dental restorations, including the Prettau® implant bridge, a highly aesthetic, metal-free, and long-lasting alternative to traditional bridges and dentures.

With years of experience, state-of-the-art technology, and a patient-first approach, we ensure predictable, high-quality results tailored to each individual’s needs.
What Is a Prettau® Implant Bridge?
A Prettau® implant bridge is a full-arch, implant-supported prosthesis made from high-strength zirconia, an exceptionally durable and aesthetic material. Unlike traditional bridges or dentures, this fixed restoration is permanently attached to dental implants, providing a lifelike appearance, superior stability, and long-term durability.
At Ora Dental Implant Studio, we use 3D CBCT imaging, digital impressions, and CAD/CAM technology to design fully customized Prettau® bridges that look and feel like natural teeth.
How Does the Prettau® Implant Bridge Compare to Traditional Bridges?
Many patients are familiar with traditional bridges, which use adjacent natural teeth for support. However, these conventional restorations have significant limitations, including:
- Compromising healthy teeth – Traditional bridges require grinding down neighboring teeth for support, making them weaker and more prone to decay or fractures.
- Limited longevity – Over time, the underlying teeth may deteriorate, leading to bridge failure and the need for additional treatments.
- No bone preservation – Traditional bridges do not prevent jawbone loss, which can lead to facial sagging and further oral health complications.
A Prettau® implant bridge eliminates these issues by using dental implants for support, ensuring that healthy teeth remain untouched while maintaining jawbone density and facial structure.
Benefits of the Prettau® Implant Bridge at Ora Dental Implant Studio
The Prettau® bridge is a superior alternative to acrylic, porcelain, or metal-based bridges due to its:
- Strength & Longevity – Made from solid zirconia, the Prettau® bridge is more resistant to fractures and wearthan traditional acrylic or porcelain bridges.
- Natural Aesthetic Appeal – Zirconia is tooth-colored and does not require a metal base, ensuring a completely natural appearance.
- Stain Resistance – Unlike acrylic or porcelain, zirconia is non-porous, meaning it does not absorb stains from coffee, tea, wine, or smoking.
- Hypoallergenic & Biocompatible – The Prettau® bridge is metal-free, making it ideal for patients with allergies or sensitivities to metals.
- Eliminates the Need for Adhesives – Unlike removable dentures, this bridge is fixed in place, eliminating the need for pastes, adhesives, or daily removal.
At Ora Dental Implant Studio, we custom-design each Prettau® bridge to match the patient’s facial features, bite alignment, and smile goals, ensuring an ultra-precise fit and long-lasting comfort.
The Prettau® Implant Bridge Process at Ora Dental Implant Studio
We take a step-by-step approach to ensure the best outcome for our patients, starting with a comprehensive consultation and treatment planning.
Step 1: Initial Consultation & Digital Planning
- A thorough oral examination and CBCT scan to evaluate bone density and oral health.
- Discussion of treatment goals, costs, and available financing options.
- A fully customized treatment plan to ensure optimal function and aesthetics.
Step 2: Implant Placement
- 4-6 dental implants are strategically placed into the jawbone, using minimally invasive, guided implant techniques for precision and faster healing.
- In some cases, bone grafting or sinus lifts may be required to improve implant stability.
Step 3: Healing & Temporary Restoration
- After the implants integrate with the bone (a process called osseointegration), a temporary prosthesis may be placed while the final Prettau® bridge is custom-designed.
Step 4: Final Placement of the Prettau® Bridge
- The fully customized zirconia bridge is permanently attached to the implants, providing a lifelike, functional, and stable smile.
- Final adjustments ensure maximum comfort and long-term success.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Prettau® Implant Bridge?
At Ora Dental Implant Studio, we determine eligibility for a Prettau® implant bridge based on a comprehensive evaluation. The ideal candidate:
- Has multiple missing teeth or complete tooth loss.
- Wants a permanent, fixed solution instead of removable dentures.
- Has sufficient bone density to support implants (bone grafting may be recommended if necessary).
- Is in good overall health and does not smoke or is willing to quit.
We offer alternative treatment options for patients who may not immediately qualify for implant-supported bridges, ensuring that every patient receives the best care possible.
