Multiple Implants
Replace multiple missing teeth without risking your other natural teeth
Multiple Missing Teeth
If there is more than one missing tooth, we will need to place at least 2 dental implants, however each tooth does not usually require a separate dental implant to replace it. We can usually place a dental implant at either side of the space and attach a porcelain bridge of teeth to this.
This has the advantage of a conventional dental bridge, as it does not involve any trimming to your own teeth. The dental implant is a titanium screw that is replaced into your jaw to replace your missing root. The dental implant will need several months to heal and fuse with your bone, so that it can provide strong support for your replacement teeth.
FAQs
Can the implant be placed the same day as my tooth comes out?
If you have a broken or damaged tooth that needs to be removed, then in some situations it is possible to remove the tooth and place an immediate dental implant at the same visit. However, in most cases this is not possible and we need to give your body time to heal before placing the dental implant.
How long do implants take to heal?
Once in place, the dental implant needs a few months to fuse with your bone and then we can make the porcelain crown to replace your missing tooth. On average it can take between 4 to 6 months to have your treatment completed.
