Multiple tooth implants

Replacing multiple Teeth

If at least two adjacent teeth are missing, particularly thorough planning must be carried out in advance. If a fixed solution is desired, dental implants are the only option that makes sense in the long term. 

First, 3D planning is performed and then the options are discussed together with the patient. It is important to pay special attention to anatomical constrictions such as nerves or the maxillary sinus. 

In the case of particularly challenging anatomical conditions or if the procedure must be performed in an absolutely minimally invasive manner (for example, when taking medication to thin the blood), it is possible to perform implant placement with a 3d-planned drilling template. For more information, see the chapter on 3d-navigated implantation.

Total Tooth Replacement

Even if all teeth are missing in one or both jaws, there are several possibilities to create a fixed or implant-supported removable denture with implants.

A distinction is made between implant-supported bridges and the possibility of supporting existing dentures on implants for better retention.

For implant-supported bridges, so-called All-on-4 and All-on-6 concepts have become established internationally. Here, 4 or 6 implants are still inserted in a special treatment concept in the upper or lower jaw to enable a fixed bridge on it.

In addition, there are also individual solutions that are adapted to the special wishes and the individual anatomical conditions. 

Extensive planning in advance is already the first important step for successful final results with which you will be satisfied in the long term.

Here the options range from two to eight implants per jaw.
