Are there cases where people have to replace multiple teeth with implants?

Doctor's Answer

Yes. We definitely have seen that happen. Sometimes people lose a lot of teeth because they have gum disease.

Let’s say you get 8 teeth extracted at one time, then you have to put in implants. The thing about having multiple teeth is that if they are in a gap, you do not have to replace every single tooth lost with a dental implant.

Sometimes we can have dental implant bridges, so say you lost like 8 teeth, you can actually have 5 posts. So 8 teeth hanging on the 5 posts. Those are called dental implant bridges.
