The big picture benefits are appealing, to be sure, but you might be starting to wonder about the details of your treatment. For example, how many dental implants does your smile need? Is there a limit on how many you can get?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like these questions answered, keep reading. This post will tell you what you need to know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is There Such a Thing as Too Many Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Technically, you can have as many dental implants placed as you have gaps in your dental line up. However, this may not be cost effective! Many dental insurance plans only offer partial coverage for this treatment, if any, and the high-quality materials can make this approach quite costly. Fortunately, there are other, more financially strategic ways to receive multiple dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Single Implants for Single Gaps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before reviewing those options, though, you should know that you can receive one dental implant if you only need to fill in one gap. Because of their minimalistic design, your neighboring teeth won\u2019t have to be altered like they would in order to support a dental bridge. Your dentist will simply root the implant to your jawbone and connect it to a tooth-colored crown, so the restoration will sit in the socket much like a natural tooth would. You\u2019ll hardly notice the difference between your implant and the rest of your pearly whites!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Replacing Multiple Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to replace an entire dental arch, your dentist can provide a kind of hybrid restoration. By combining dental implants and dentures, you can benefit from the stability and power of dental implants, while also receiving the cost-effective coverage of a denture. The way it works is your dentist will secure the denture in place with as few as four dental implants or as many as eight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means you have quantity options when it comes to this type of restoration too. However, in this case your dentist will determine the best number of dental implants based on your gum and jawbone density. Trust them to evaluate your mouth and do what they do best: restore your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/smilesofstyle.com\/meet-dr-dory-stutman.html\">Dr. Dory Stutman<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/smilesofstyle.com\/meet-dr-khalida-stutman.html\">Dr. Khalida Stutman<\/a> are highly experienced in placing dental implants.
