Multiple Dental Implants

Did you know that dental implants have a 98% success rate? Did you also know that 178 million American adults are missing at least one tooth? Those are just two important statistics related to dental implants that people need to know about.

Here are a few more, according to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID): more than 30 million Americans are missing all their teeth, 15 million people in the U.S. have crown and bridge replacements and 3 million have implants and that number is growing by 500,000 a year.

Dental implants do far more than just fill the gap missing teeth leave behind. They replace the exact look and function of your natural tooth, as well as improve your speech and make it easier to eat the foods you enjoy.

In turn, this boosts your self-esteem, oral health and overall appearance. Best of all, you can care for dental implants just like the rest of your teeth and they last a lifetime!

The type and number of dental implants you need depends on your own unique situation and how many missing teeth you have. If you just have a couple of missing teeth, your ideal solution is most probably to get multiple single-tooth dental implants.

If your missing teeth are next to each other, an implant-supported bridge might be your best option. For people missing most or all of their teeth, complete implant support for the upper and/or lower teeth, sometimes known as All-on-4 dental implant solution may be ideal.
