Multiple-Teeth Implants Montclair, CA

Missing multiple teeth can be more than just a cosmetic problem. It can affect how you eat, the alignment of your teeth, and even the shape of your face. Fortunately, if you are looking for a long-term solution to multiple missing teeth, getting individual single tooth implants is not your only option.

What Are the Different Types of Dental Implants?

There are many different types of implants, including single implants, bridge implants, and All-on-4 implants. All of these implants replace teeth in a secure way so they act like real teeth and cannot be removed, unlike with traditional dentures.

What Are Single Teeth Implants?

This kind of implant replaces a single tooth. It's made of three parts: the implant, the abutment, and the artificial tooth, also known as a crown. The implant is what goes into your jawbone and acts as the roots for the artificial tooth. The abutment connects the implant and artificial tooth, or crown, which is placed last after all the healing is completed. A single tooth implant can replace any tooth in your mouth, but it only replaces one tooth at a time.

What Are Multiple Teeth Implants in Montclair?

Multiple teeth implants can be accomplished through different choices and methods. Typically, multiple teeth implants will involve using dental implants to secure a home for a bridge of teeth. Two types of multiple teeth implants are bridge dental implants and All-on-4 dental implants.

What Are Bridge Dental Implants?

The old way to place bridges was that it used the natural teeth and cement supported them. The issue with this form of bridge was that the neighboring teeth had to be ground down so that the bridge could be attached. This can be problematic if the natural teeth shift or if the cement washes away, because then the bridge does not function properly.

Now, bridges can use a single artificial tooth with an individual implant. For example, two implants (screws) might be made, and then a bridge of three teeth can be secured. It's the covering for the implants when more than one tooth is missing. No grinding away is needed, and the implants encourage bone growth and jaw stability.

What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?

A single implant can support more than one tooth. The best example of that is All-On-4 implants, which only takes four implants (screws) to replace an entire arch of teeth.

What Is the Process for Getting Multiple Teeth Implants?

Visit our office for a consultation to decide if multiple implants are right for you. We will take photographs, impressions of your mouth, and x-rays. You'll speak with Dr. Omid and we’ll create a plan and timeline that works for your schedule. We can also talk about your sedation options.

The next appointment will involve using the latest technology to place the implants. For example, posterior implants are tilted during placement to ensure a secure fit into your bone. A temporary and comfortable bridge will be placed to allow your mouth and implants to heal.

Over the next few months, you'll come into our office to make sure everything is healing correctly. When you are all healed up, we will secure permanent crowns, and you'll have the smile you always wanted.

What Are the Benefits of Multiple Teeth Implants?

With proper hygiene and care, implanted bridges and All-On-4 arches can last a lifetime. Like a single artificial tooth, they look natural and blend seamlessly in your mouth. They also save you time and money compared to getting multiple individual implants. Multiple teeth implants look natural and also improve your appearance because they stop bone loss and reduce damage to other teeth. Multiple teeth implants improve speech and also promote the proper alignment of your jaw.

What Do Multiple Teeth Implants Cost?

What you pay for your multiple teeth implants will depend on the type of implant, the number of teeth that need replacing, and your insurance coverage. The team at Dentist of Montclair will go over all costs and payment options with you.

How Do I Properly Care for Multiple Teeth Implants?

Because multiple teeth implants are placed into your jawbone, you can treat them like the rest of your teeth. Make sure to brush your teeth twice a day, floss, and come in for regular check-ups. It's best to use a soft bristle brush because they don't cause as much damage to the gum as a medium or hard bristle brush. You can still use an electric toothbrush as long as it has soft bristles. There are some specially made brushes designed to help slide in between teeth if you are struggling to keep your implants clean.
