While dentures offer temporary replacement for missing teeth, dental implants provide a permanent solution.What is a Dental Implant?
Dental implants are surgically inserted into your jawbone.
These small implant posts are made of titanium and fuse with the jawbone over time to act as your new tooth root.
If you are missing just one tooth, a single dental implant should suffice.
Why Choose Multiple Tooth Implants?
There are several reasons why you might require multiple tooth implants. You may have difficulty pronouncing words due to several missing teeth.
Dentures may not be something you want to, or are unable to, wear.
For you to qualify for dental implants, you will first need to be evaluated by our dentist to determine if you are a good candidate for multiple tooth implants.

Getting a multiple-tooth implant can help you overcome many complications.
It can help with the improvement of speech, the ability to chew, and the prevention of potential bacterial infections in the area of the missing teeth.
Moreover, when you lose teeth, the integrity and strength of your jawbone become compromised.
Since multiple tooth implants fuse with your jaw, it improves the strength of your jaw at the same time as replacing your missing teeth.
There are certain advantages that multiple tooth implants have over other tooth replacement procedures. This includes the replacement of teeth without altering the shape or size of the adjacent tooth; this provides better oral health in the long run. As opposed to conventional dentures, dental implants have a longer lifespan and feel more natural.
Procedure Involving Multiple Tooth Implant
Before any surgical procedure, the first step is the initial evaluation. During your evaluation, our dentist will review your medical and dental history and will assess your jawbone.
You will then be informed of any risks and complications involved in the procedure.
If all becomes clear, you will then be presented with anesthesia options that you'd like to avail for your implant surgery.
The surgery is divided over the course of a few months, during which there is a period to allow healing of the jawbone around the implant.
The insertion of implants is the first step in this procedure. This may involve some form of bone grafting.
Then comes the next step of the procedure, which takes place after the healing process has been completed. It includes attachment of the abutment using dental cement.
Following this step, there is another period, which allows the abutment to fix itself securely to the implant.
The last and final step involves the attachment of the crown to the abutment.
Care Involved Post Surgery
It is natural to feel some form of discomfort and pain post-surgery while you heal. During this time, you will be advised to eat a soft food diet.
Slight bleeding and bruising of soft tissue may be a common sight; make sure to be gentle when taking care of your oral hygiene.
Pain due to surgery should only last for a few days following the procedure.
