Replacing Multiple Teeth? Consider These 7 Perks of Implants
The effects of multiple tooth loss can be devastating for your smile and oral health. At A Brush Above Family Dentistry, we offer dental implants for multiple teeth to remedy this loss! A fixed implant bridge can fill the gap of several missing teeth in a row, while implant dentures can replace an entire arch of lost teeth, upper, lower, or both! Â
In this post, Drs. Marcella Guzman, Philip Fidel and Rosa Sinno explore some of the perks of replacing multiple missing teeth with implants:
1. Seamless Appearance
Implants replace your teeth and their roots to give you a natural-looking smile. Teeth anchored by implants have the same structure as natural teeth, making them look and feel real. Implant bridges and dentures fill the gap left by missing teeth seamlessly. When you smile, people can’t tell which teeth are real and which are replacements – they’re that real!
2. Improved Functionality
Loss of chewing power is something that’s sorely missed when teeth go missing, as it limits what you can eat. That chewing power is restored with implants! Implant bridges and dentures have exceptional functionality for biting and chewing as they’re attached to implants, which are anchored securely to your jaw. Two implants suffice to support an implant bridge, and only four implants are needed to replace an entire arch of missing teeth.
Dental implants are titanium roots, that are replaced with in the jawbone to resemble a tooth or group of teeth. A screw is inserted through the gums and into the jawbone. A porcelain crown is then attached to the screw to become the new tooth or teeth. They can be used to support dental prosthesis including crowns, dentures, and bridges. Today’s treatments are so natural looking, no one will know you had surgery. There’s approximately a 95% success rate for all implants. With modern advances in dentistry, some implants can be restored immediately with life like all porcelain crowns. For more details ask your dentist.
3. Fewer Oral Health Issues
Tooth loss can lead to additional oral health issues, like bone loss, loose teeth, shifting teeth, decay, and gum disease. Getting implants can stop this domino effect on your oral health. Implants work like tooth roots to stimulate jawbone growth to prevent bone loss. They fill the gaps of lost teeth to prevent dental drift. They help preserve your bite and improve oral hygiene, so you can keep your teeth free of decay and gum disease.
4. Jawbone Support/Prevention of Facial Collapse  Â
Your jawbone helps support your face and mouth. When teeth go missing, your jawbone starts to deteriorate, causing your facial features to sink in or collapse. By preventing bone loss, implants help preserve the natural shape of your face and jaw, allowing you to retain a more youthful appearance. Â

5. Low Maintenance
Implant bridges and dentures are low maintenance. Unlike traditional dentures, they don’t require special care. Daily brushing and flossing, and regular dental cleanings will keep them in good shape long-term.
6. Long-lasting
When properly placed, implants can last for life. Implant bridges and dentures can last up to 20 years before needing to be replaced. Even then, new restorations can be placed on the same implants to keep your smile going strong.
7. Cost-Effectiveness
The longevity and lifespan of implants and implant restorations make them a cost-effective treatment over the long haul. Implant surgery is a one-and-done deal, and your restorations can last for decades, saving you teeth replacement costs.
