The short answer

What is multiple dental implant treatment?

When you're missing more than one tooth, implants can replace them as a group. Instead of a removable partial denture, a few implants in the jawbone hold a fixed, implant-supported bridge. Each implant is a post in the jawbone, and the bridge of new teeth is attached on top, so the teeth stay in place and you care for them like natural teeth. Board-certified periodontist Dr. Jeffrey N. Zatzkin plans each implant on a 3D scan.

Dr. Zatzkin decides how many implants you need and where they go based on a 3D scan of your jaw.

Your options compared

Implant bridge, single implants, a regular bridge or a partial?

All four replace missing teeth. Here's how they differ.

  • An implant bridge: two or more implants hold a fixed row of teeth, so you need fewer implants than missing teeth, and the neighboring teeth are left alone. Often chosen when the missing teeth are side by side.
  • One implant per tooth: each missing tooth gets its own implant and crown. Often chosen when teeth are missing in different spots.
  • A traditional bridge: held by crowns on the teeth beside the gap, so those healthy teeth are filed down, and the bone under the gap isn't replaced.
  • A partial denture: removable, rests on the gums and clips to other teeth, and the bone underneath keeps shrinking.

When it's needed

Who multiple dental implants help

Missing several teeth can make it hard to chew and to speak clearly. It can change how your smile looks, and the bone where the teeth were starts to shrink.

  • Several missing teeth in one area or across the mouth.
  • Teeth that can't be saved because of decay, injury or gum disease.
  • A partial denture that's loose or uncomfortable.
  • Bone loss where teeth are missing, which implants help prevent.

Before your implants

Healthy gums and enough bone first

An implant bridge is only as strong as the foundation under it, which is a periodontist's focus. Dr. Zatzkin is a board-certified periodontist, an honors graduate of NYU College of Dentistry and a 12-time Top Dentist, 2015 through 2026.

  • Gum disease is treated first, so the implants go into healthy tissue. Gum disease treatment
  • Bone that has shrunk where teeth are missing can be rebuilt with grafting. Bone grafting
  • Your 3D CT scan shows how many implants you need and exactly where they go.
  • Your bridge is custom made to look natural, matched to your other teeth.

Benefits

Why patients choose implants

  • Fixed in place, with nothing to remove at night.
  • Natural look and feel, matched to your other teeth.
  • Protects the jawbone by stimulating it like natural roots.
  • Healthy teeth left alone: no reshaping neighbors to hold a bridge.

Care and longevity

Keeping your implant bridge healthy

You care for an implant bridge much like natural teeth, plus cleaning under it.

  • Brush twice a day and clean under the bridge every day, with floss threaders or a water flosser.
  • Keep your maintenance visits so the gums and bone around the implants stay healthy.
  • Protect it: a night guard helps if you grind your teeth.
  • With good care, an implant bridge can last for many years.

Questions

Multiple Dental Implants FAQs

How many implants do I need to replace several teeth?

Often fewer than the number of missing teeth. Two or more implants can hold a bridge across several missing teeth, so you don't need an implant for every tooth. Dr. Zatzkin decides the number from your 3D scan, based on how many teeth are missing and the bone you have.

Is an implant bridge better than a partial denture?
