In general, an implant bridge can replace anywhere from two to six missing teeth in a row. If a patient has more than six missing teeth in a row, multiple dental implant-supported bridges or other tooth replacement options may be needed to fully restore their smile.
The number of dental implants needed to support the bridge will also depend on the number of missing teeth being replaced. Typically, one dental implant is needed for each missing tooth being replaced. However, in some cases, fewer dental implants may be used if the bridge is being used to replace multiple teeth in a row.
