Multiple Tooth Replacements

The treatment for multiple tooth replacement is similar to single tooth replacement

With multiple tooth loss, often a dental bridge is used. This means that you won’t need an implant for every missing tooth, because a dental implant bridge involves multiple prosthetic porcelain teeth attached to a less number of implants than the number of teeth being replaced.

The process of multiple teeth replacement:

At your initial consultation, Dr Burhaan Kassim will assess your oral health and determine the best treatment for you.

After the initial consultation, the treatment takes three appointments.

1. The first appointment is when the dental implants are surgically placed into your jawbone. They are placed where the tooth root was. This is then left to heal: a process known as osseointegration takes place where the jawbone heals around and fuses with the dental implant.
2. At the second appointment Dr Kassim will check the implant has successfully integrated and then connect a post to the implants.
3. The third appointment is when Dr Kassim will attach the dental bridge or crowns to the dental implants.

The health benefits of replacing missing teeth

By replacing missing teeth with implant dentistry, you are providing support and stimulation to your jawbone as well as ensuring that your other teeth don’t become crooked. Implant dentistry will allow you to eat and speak without worrying about the difficulties created by missing teeth.

Replacing multiple teeth with dental implants can do wonders for your oral health

Are you missing more than one tooth? If you are missing two or more teeth in a row than a dental bridge may be the best thing for you. At Southside Dental Implants, located at the McCullough Dental Centre in Sunnybank, we offer multiple tooth replacements using dental implants.
