MULTIPLE DENTAL IMPLANTS

A Lasting Solution for Replacing Several Missing Teeth

If you’re missing more than one tooth, multiple dental implants provide a durable and natural-looking way to restore your smile and confidence. Whether you’ve lost teeth due to injury, decay, or disease, dental implants can give you back the full function of your mouth and a beautiful smile you’ll be proud of.

What are Multiple Dental Implants?

Multiple dental implants are used to replace two or more missing teeth. Depending on your situation, individual implants can be placed for each missing tooth, or a few implants can support bridges or dentures. These implants are made from titanium and act as artificial tooth roots, integrating with the bone to provide a stable and long-lasting foundation for replacement teeth.

Benefits of Multiple Dental Implants

Natural Appearance
Implants are custom-made to match your natural teeth, making it nearly impossible to distinguish them from your own. They restore the beauty of your smile and provide a natural look that lasts.

Improved Functionality
Dental implants allow you to speak, chew, and smile with confidence, just like you would with natural teeth. They offer full chewing power, meaning you can eat your favourite foods without hesitation.

Bone Preservation
Missing teeth can lead to bone loss over time. Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone from shrinking and preserving the structure of your face.

No Damage to Healthy Teeth
Unlike traditional bridges, which may require grinding down adjacent teeth for support, implants leave your surrounding healthy teeth untouched. This helps maintain your natural dental structure.

Permanent and Long-Lasting
With good care, dental implants can last many years—often a lifetime. They are a permanent solution, unlike removable dentures that need frequent adjustments or replacements.

The Process for Multiple Dental Implants

From your first visit to ongoing care, we’re committed to making your experience comfortable, personalised, and focused on your needs.

Consultation and Assessment

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation. We will evaluate your oral health, take clinical photographs and discuss your goals. X-rays or digital scans are often taken to determine the health of your jawbone. If there isn’t enough bone to support the implants, a bone graft may be recommended.

Implant Placement

During this procedure, titanium implants are placed into the jawbone at the site of the missing teeth. Depending on how many teeth are missing, individual implants may be placed, or implants may be positioned to support a bridge or denture. This is done under local anaesthesia, with optional inhalation sedation, ensuring your comfort. After the implants are placed, the healing process begins, and the implants will integrate with the bone over the course of 12 weeks.

Temporary Restorations

While your implants are healing, we can provide temporary restorations to fill any gaps, allowing you to eat and speak comfortably during the healing phase.

Attaching the Abutments

Once the implants have fully integrated with your jawbone, we’ll attach abutments. These are connectors that serve as the foundation for the crowns, bridges, or dentures that will be placed on top.

Fitting the Custom Restorations

After the abutments are in place, custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures will be attached to the implants. These restorations are designed to blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring the function and appearance of your smile.

Aftercare for Multiple Dental Implants

Proper care is essential for ensuring the long-term success of your dental implants. Our implant maintenance programme consists of a 3 month post treatment appointment, 6 month post treatment appointment and annual reviews for 5 years post treatment completion. At these appointments we will assess and review the bone levels around your implants, check your gum health and provide oral health and cleaning advice.

Here are some aftercare tips to keep your implants and overall oral health in top condition:

Maintain Good Oral Hygiene
Brush and floss around your implants just like your natural teeth. Be sure to keep the areas around the implants clean to prevent plaque build-up and gum disease, which could affect the health of the implants.

Attend Regular Dental Checkups
Regular dental visits are crucial for monitoring the health of your implants and the surrounding gums. We recommend routine cleanings and checkups to keep everything in top shape.

Avoid Hard and Sticky Foods Initially
In the first few weeks after the surgery, avoid hard or sticky foods that could disturb the healing implants. Stick to soft foods while your mouth recovers.

Quit Smoking
Smoking can interfere with the healing process and reduce the success rate of dental implants. If you smoke, consider quitting before your implant surgery to ensure the best possible outcome.

Manage Discomfort
After implant placement, you may experience minor swelling or discomfort but we will provide your with post-op medication to help manage this. However, if you experience severe pain, contact your dentist immediately.

Protect Your Implants
If you grind your teeth at night, wearing a night guard can help protect your implants from excess pressure that could damage them over time.
