When you have more than one lost tooth, multiple dental implants can provide an effective replacement with durable results. Dental implants provide long-term results for patients missing multiple teeth. We can replace multiple missing teeth in East Hanover, NJ, with several separate dental implants. A bridge can replace consecutive teeth, or a denture can replace an entire row of teeth. Dental implants are the most natural-looking and innovative solution for lost teeth.
Dr. Andrii Slobodian or Dr. Rajeev Upadya will meet with each dental implant patient one-on-one. During your consultation at our East Hanover, NJ, dentist office, they will perform a thorough dental health exam. Then, they will discuss your treatment options.
Together, you will build a comprehensive treatment plan to restore both aesthetics and function to your smile. Metropolitan Center for Complete Dentistry offers our patients dental implants under one roof. This means we will treat you at every step in your tooth implant process, including the surgical placement.
Multiple Dental Implants
We can provide bridges and dentures to replace rows or arches of lost teeth:
Dental Implant-Supported Bridge
For several consecutive missing teeth, Dr. Slobodian or Dr. Upadya may recommend a dental bridge supported by a dental implant. An implant-supported bridge is similar to a traditional bridge, except dental implants support it instead of your natural teeth.
We surgically place two or more posts in the jaw bone. These posts will permanently secure the restoration. The implants will also help to stimulate natural bone growth in the jaw and maintain the structure of your face.
Dental Implant-Supported Denture
For our patients who are missing an entire arch of teeth, we also offer All-On-4 at our East Hanover, NJ, dentist’s office. This new technique offers the benefits of dental implants to edentulous patients with diminished bone structure.
The All-on-4 dental implant technique uses as few as four strategically placed dental implants that will secure a cosmetic denture for a functional and stable smile.
After we surgically place the dental implants, the posts will heal and fully fuse with the jaw bone after about 3-6 months. Once fully healed, a custom-designed dental restoration (bridge or denture) will be secured to the implants by one of our dentists at the Metropolitan Center for Complete Dentistry in East Hanover, NJ.
With modern technology, we can color-match your dental bridge or denture to your natural smile for a perfect fit. Dental implant-secured restorations offer natural-looking and secure teeth replacement options.
Multiple Dental Implant FAQs
Read answers to common questions about multiple dental implants in East Hanover, NJ:
How much do multiple dental implants cost?
The cost of implants can vary based on how many implants you need. For example, if you need an implant denture, it may cost more than if you get a bridge.
Talk to our dentist to get an estimate for your specific situation. Some dental insurance plans may help cover part of the cost, and payment plans might be available to make it more affordable.
Can I get multiple dental implants if I have gum disease?
Yes, but you need to treat and control your gum disease first. Gum disease can cause damage to your gums and jawbone, which hold the implants securely in place. We may recommend scaling and root planing to clear away infection and improve the health of your gums before treatment.
How is a multiple dental implant procedure different from a single implant?
The main difference between a multiple dental implant procedure and a single implant is the number of implants and the type of restoration.
A single implant involves placing one implant into the jawbone to replace a lost tooth. We attach a crown to the implant to look and function like a natural tooth.
With multiple implants, your dentist places two or more implants in specific spots in your jawbone. These implants support a larger restoration, like a dental bridge or denture, which can replace several missing teeth at once. We do not need to use one implant for every lost tooth, which makes it more efficient.
Both procedures help restore your ability to chew and speak, support jawbone health, and improve the appearance of your smile.
Can I eat normally after I get multiple dental implants?
After you get implants, you’ll need to eat carefully while you heal. For the first few days after surgery, stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, and smoothies.
As your mouth heals and the implants bond with your jawbone, you can slowly add more solid foods to your diet. This process can take a few months. Once the implants have fully healed and your new teeth are placed, you should be able to eat normally again. With proper care, implants are strong enough to handle most foods like natural teeth.
Does dental implant treatment hurt?
Dental implant treatment might sound painful, but most people feel little to no discomfort. Our dentist will use local anesthesia to numb the area, so you won’t feel pain. If you feel nervous, sedation options might also help you relax.
After the procedure, you may feel some soreness in your gums and jaw for a few days. Most of the time, over-the-counter pain medicine is enough to manage it. If needed, our dentist may recommend stronger medication to keep you comfortable.
