Usually, we recommend placing one implant per missing tooth. Sometimes, in the back of the mouth, where the chewing forces are greater, we tend to replace these teeth with more than one implant per tooth, especially if there is moderate bone loss and excessive biting forces.
When designing a case to replace several missing adjacent front teeth, a restorative dentist or specialist may recommend a dental implant bridge instead of individual crowns. The reason for this is that due to anatomic limitations, replacing front teeth with crowns will often produce poor esthetics results. Replacing multiple adjoining front teeth with implant-supported bridges will reduce your treatment cost and improve the esthetics of your smile.
