If you’ve heard of dental implants, you should already know they’re great tooth replacements. The posts are renowned as the best substitutes for natural teeth, even serving as the gold standard among dentists. On the contrary, perhaps you’re wondering to yourself, “Just how many dental implants do I need?” Your Midtown practice recognizes that as a key treatment<\/a> question, so there’s no need to worry about it. Just keep reading to see how many dental implants your smile should get!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Consider Your Lost Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First and foremost, the number of implant posts you need will depend on how many teeth you\u2019ve lost.  Treatment can widely vary based on whether you\u2019re missing one tooth, several, or all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Missing One Tooth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Patients with only one missing tooth should just get a single implant post and crown. Using this restoration pair, a dentist can effectively \u201cfill\u201d the gap between your remaining teeth. The post itself relies on its titanium core to fuse with your jaw, while the crown\u2019s porcelain surface would \u201ctop\u201d your prosthetic and blend in seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Missing Multiple Teeth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, those missing multiple adjacent teeth may prefer an implant bridge. The latter device uses two dental implants fused to either side of a pontic \u2013 an artificial tooth. In doing so, it stays much more firmly rooted than a traditional bridge would. The final restoration also wouldn\u2019t alter your existing teeth; an implant bridge just leaves them alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Missing All Teeth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019ve lost all (or nearly all) your teeth, an implant denture is your best bet. This type places multiple well-placed implant posts \u2013 usually four to fix \u2013 to secure a whole row of prosthetic teeth. To that extent, it represents the most involved and invasive dental implant service. You\u2019ll want to ensure you see a qualified oral surgeon for its placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talk to Your Local Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, just counting your lost teeth isn\u2019t enough to determine your final implant number. It\u2019s crucial that you consult your local dentist about the matter, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A qualified dentist will know your smile\u2019s situation better than anyone else. After all, they have precise dental knowledge, years of training, and (if they\u2019re your regular provider) your dental records. Great dentists use these resources to judge whether and how many implant posts you need. You can\u2019t always trust your own personal assessment of such things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All that said, visit your dental provider soon to learn how many dental implants you need. You and your grin will be glad you did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
