Multiple implants are one of the most recognised and recommended solutions for patients suffering from several missing teeth.
This is because they permanently anchor replacement teeth, leaving patients with a new, transformed smile that is designed to replicate existing teeth.
Patients worried about the cost of multiple implants can rest assured that each gap does not fundamentally need an individual implant to replace it.
Alternatively, a more secure and cost-effective solution is placing an implant at both ends of the gap and then using a bridge to fix the implants together.
This method will instantly restore chewing abilities using less amount of implants.
In the past, traditional bridge procedures meant that dentists were required to file neighbouring teeth.
However, new dental implant technology has allowed dentists to avoid damaging healthy teeth and instead focus on bonding the implants with the jaw.
The implant is a titanium screw that is placed securely into the jawbone acting like an artificial tooth root.
Once healed, a crown or a bridge can hook onto the implant providing long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Risks
Before the dental implant procedure, a consultation with the implantologist is required.
This will be to examine the mouth’s oral condition, health and hygiene.
If any underlying health conditions are discovered like gum disease, then they will need to be treated prior to having dental implants placed.
This is because dental implants require a sufficient amount of bone and good gum health. This is to ensure the implant’s success.
Procedure
The procedure is straightforward, multiple implants can take anywhere from 3-5 hours to place and require no general anaesthetic.
During the healing stage, temporary teeth can be placed until the final restoration a few months later. View our procedure guide here.
Once the implant and the jaw have fused together, an abutment is then applied to the implant to hold your new replacement teeth in position.
The crown or bridge is secured to the top, completing the restoration and fully replacing your missing teeth.
The colour of your crown will be carefully colour-matched by your dentist ensuring an overall improved natural appearance.
In this case, the patient required multiple implants on the upper jaw to replace gaps caused by tooth decay. Dr Ali Rifai was able to fully restore his mouth within six months leaving the patient feeling very happy with the results.
Each implant case is unique – no two cases are the same and therefore, no two prices are the same.
Depending on your needs, requirements and prior treatments the cost can vary greatly.
