Dental implants can be a permanent and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. They are designed to mimic the look, feel, and function of your own teeth. These factors, among others, make dental implants the ideal choice for patients seeking durable and natural-looking tooth replacements. While opting for multiple dental implants may seem overwhelming, advancements in dental technology have made it possible to streamline the process for your comfort. Depending on your oral health needs, dental implants can be used to replace just one tooth or an entire row of teeth.
At Union City Oral Surgery Group, our oral specialists have extensive experience helping patients like you obtain a healthy and beautiful smile. We personalize our treatment plans to your unique needs and can place one or more implants simultaneously to achieve your oral health goals. We use the most up-to-date technologies and treatment methods to prioritize your safety, comfort, and recovery.
Can I Have More Than One Dental Implant Placed at One Time?
The number of implants that can be installed in one appointment depends heavily on the needs of the patient and how they are expected to recover. In modern dentistry, it is typical to replace individual teeth as they fall out or require extraction rather than wait until multiple teeth are missing. However, there are times when a patient needs more than one tooth replaced. In these circumstances, installing multiple implants at once is often preferable. Spreading the work across numerous appointments could lead to more stress for the patient and may also lengthen their recovery period.
If you only need to replace a couple of teeth, your surgeon will likely use individual implants. However, if you require multiple replacement teeth, you may receive a dental bridge anchored by implants.
The process of receiving implants is relatively pain-free, as your surgeon will use an anesthetic to numb the area. However, you may experience soreness and discomfort following the procedure. While the tenderness may be more pronounced if multiple teeth have been replaced at once, it will also ease more quickly if only one procedure is required.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer many benefits over other tooth replacement methods. Some of these advantages include the following:
- Acting and looking like natural teeth
- Potentially lasting a lifetime
- Stabilizing adjacent teeth
- Preventing gum disease
- Preventing bone loss
- Reducing sagging and other signs of premature aging
- Restoring chewing power
- Creating an aesthetically pleasing smile
Dental implants are a more permanent tooth replacement solution anchored directly to the jawbone instead of dentures that shift in your mouth and must be removed for cleaning. One of the most significant benefits of a dental implant is that you may forget it is even there because it behaves exactly like one of your own teeth. When you choose to work with the skilled specialists at Union City Oral Surgery Group, we will take your unique needs into account as we devise the best possible treatment plan for you.
