Treatment overview

Replacing several missing teeth

When a patient has more than one missing tooth, treatment may include a conventional prosthetic restoration supported by remaining teeth or fixed tooth replacement supported by two or more implants. A conventional bridge or partial denture can be appropriate in some cases, but supporting teeth may need preparation and may receive increased chewing forces.

Multiple implants can address multiple missing teeth without modifying healthy neighboring teeth. The surgical and restorative process is similar to single-implant treatment, but the treatment area is larger and the expected postoperative discomfort may be slightly greater.
