The number of dental implants needed will depend on the number and location of missing teeth. For a single tooth or two consecutive missing teeth, a single implant can usually be used to support one dental crown or two fused crowns. For patients with several consecutive teeth, a fixed bridge restoration will be crafted and attached to two implant posts, one at each end. For patients missing numerous consecutive and nonconsecutive teeth, implants-supported partial or full dentures will be recommended. We can typically use three to six implants to support a full denture.
