A dental implant can replace a single missing tooth, while implant-supported bridges can stand in for multiple missing teeth. Multiple implants look and feel like natural teeth. Unlike traditional dental bridges, implant-supported bridges do not require the support of adjacent natural teeth. Because implants replace teeth down to the roots, they help preserve bone structure and prevent bone loss. They also support your face shape.
Benefits of Multiple Implants
The best option for replacing several missing teeth is through multiple implants. Though the procedure is time intensive, taking several months on average, the long-term advantages may prove worthwhile. Dental implants are cosmetically appealing and functional, allowing you to eat and chew as you would with natural teeth. There is no need to remove or clean implants separately. Simply brush and floss as you normally would.
How to Care for Multiple Implants
Though dental implants cannot decay or develop cavities, proper oral hygiene should be maintained. A dental practitioner should routinely evaluate your implants to ensure they are maintaining their structure, as, in rare cases, porcelain can fracture. Let your dentist know if you suffer from bruxism or tend to grind or clench your teeth.
