There\u2019s a good reason why dentists usually\nrecommend them; after all, they\u2019ll let you eat all of your favorite foods\nwithout issue and they even prevent the jawbone from breaking down after your\nteeth are gone! But what if it\u2019s not just one tooth that\u2019s missing? Will you\nneed to get a separate post for each one? Not necessarily! With good planning,\nyour dentist can use multiple implants to support different kinds of\nrestorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What If Several Teeth in a Row are Gone?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A single tooth can be replaced by a lone dental implant and\ncrown, but for a wider gap, you might need a different kind of replacement.\nDental bridges consist of at least three crowns and are used to replace multiple\nteeth in a row. Usually they\u2019re supported by the teeth right next to the empty\nspace, but this can have unintended consequences over the long term; the teeth\nin question need to have some enamel removed, leaving them weakened and more vulnerable\nto decay <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, however, a bridge can be supported by two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibisdentist.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>\ninstead. Not only will the restoration be stronger and more secure, but your oral\nhealth overall will be improved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bridge might be attached directly to the implant or an\nabutment, and it might be held in place by screws or cement; your dentist in West\nPalm Beach will decide what materials to use based on your situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if Almost All of My Teeth are Gone?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But what if an entire arch is missing? Can you still get implants\nto replace all of them? The answer is yes; in fact, it can often be done with\nfewer than you think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While traditional dentures are held in place with suction or\nan adhesive, they can also rest on implant posts. While it can sometimes take\nsix or eight implants, to support the false teeth, in many cases four posts are\nmore than enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike their traditional counterparts, implant-retained\ndentures are secure in the mouth. They won\u2019t slip out of place while you\u2019re\neating and talking. Furthermore, because implants prevent bone loss, you won\u2019t\nhave to worry about the shape of your gums changing, which means you don\u2019t have\nto worry about having your dentures refitted in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, whether a bridge, a full set of dentures or\nanother treatment is right for you depends on your situation. If you think\ndental implants are the solution for your tooth loss, schedule a consultation\nwith your dentist; they\u2019ll examine your mouth, consider the factors involved,\nand let you know what your options are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Nirav Patel spends a lot of his free time continuing his dental education so that he can always ensure that he brings his patient the best care available with the latest techniques.
