Replacing multiple missing teeth with dental implants offers a comprehensive, permanent solution that not only improves the appearance of your smile but also restores optimal functionality. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants replace the root of each missing tooth with a titanium post inserted into the jawbone, providing a strong, stable foundation. For multiple missing teeth, implants can support individual crowns or be used to anchor bridges, offering a fixed solution without the need for adhesives. This approach helps preserve the jawbone, preventing bone loss that typically occurs when teeth are missing. Dental implants are also highly durable, resistant to decay, and can last a lifetime with proper care. Whether you need a few implants to replace a section of teeth or multiple implants to restore a full arch, this treatment provides a natural-looking, comfortable alternative to removable dentures. With dental implants, you can enjoy the confidence of a complete, functional smile that restores your ability to eat, speak, and smile without worry.
Your dentist evaluates your oral health, discusses your needs, and designs a personalized treatment plan for replacing multiple teeth with dental implants.
Titanium posts are surgically inserted into the jawbone to act as the roots for the missing teeth. This procedure may involve placing individual implants or implant-supported bridges, depending on the case.
Once the implants integrate with the bone, custom crowns or bridges are placed on top, completing the restoration and providing a secure, natural-looking solution.
The entire process typically takes several months. The implant placement is done in stages, with healing and osseointegration (bone integration) taking 3-6 months before the final restoration (crowns or bridges) is placed.
The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so there is no pain during the surgery. After the procedure, some discomfort and swelling may occur, but it can usually be managed with pain medications.
The number of implants depends on the specific case. For replacing several missing teeth, implants can be placed to support individual crowns or a bridge, often reducing the number of implants needed compared to individual replacements for each tooth.
Yes, dental implants are generally a better option as they are more durable, provide better function and stability, and prevent bone loss. They also do not require altering surrounding healthy teeth, unlike traditional bridges or dentures.
