Missing Teeth: When Should You Consider Dental Implants?

Missing teeth can affect more than your smile. Tooth loss may impact chewing, your bite, and the bone that supports your teeth. If you're considering missing teeth replacement, dental implants may be an option.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth. Depending on your needs, implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or support a full-arch restoration.

When Should You Consider Dental Implants?

You may want to explore dental implants if:

  • You are missing one or more teeth

  • You have difficulty chewing because of missing teeth

  • You want a fixed alternative to removable dentures

  • You are missing most or all of the teeth in an arch

Why Treatment Planning Matters

Dental implant treatment starts with a comprehensive evaluation. Your doctor will assess your bone, gums, bite, anatomy, and overall oral health to determine whether implants are appropriate and how they should be positioned.

Patients with bone loss or gum disease may require additional treatment before or alongside implant placement.

Are Dental Implants Right for You?

Every patient is different. A consultation can help determine whether dental implants or another missing teeth replacement option best fits your needs.
