Using single and multiple dental implants to restore the smile after tooth loss or extraction

At Irvington Dental, our dentists are committed to ensuring you have access to treatments that help restore your smile’s beauty and function. In addition to dentures, bridges, and porcelain veneers, we also offer dental implants. There are many different ways in which single and multiple dental implants can be used to restore the smile, making them one of the most adaptable tooth replacement choices on the market today!

What are dental implants?

First, let’s get a better understanding of what dental implants are and how they work. Dental implants are a type of prosthetic that is surgically attached to the jawbone. They act as artificial tooth roots that can support dental restorations such as crowns, dentures, and bridges. Dental implants can be used for teeth replacement when only one or several teeth need to be replaced.

How are implants used?

Our team at Irvington Dental uses dental implants in a few different ways, including the use of single implants or multiple implants:

3D Dental Implant
  • Single dental implant. A single implant is often placed when there is a missing tooth or space between healthy teeth. A metal post is implanted into the jawbone, which acts as an anchor for the final restoration. The restoration may consist of either a porcelain crown that looks like any other natural tooth or a bridge if multiple adjacent teeth need to be replaced.
  • Multiple dental implants. Multiple implants are used when several teeth need to be replaced. This type of treatment is more complex, as it requires a detailed evaluation of the jawbone and gums to ensure the placement of the implants is precise and successful. Generally, with multiple implants, our team will first use a series of metal posts or abutments to anchor a bridge or partial denture in place.

Many Happy Faces

Dental implants are titanium roots, that are replaced with in the jawbone to resemble a tooth or group of teeth. A screw is inserted through the gums and into the jawbone. A porcelain crown is then attached to the screw to become the new tooth or teeth. They can be used to support dental prosthesis including crowns, dentures, and bridges. Today’s treatments are so natural looking, no one will know you had surgery. There’s approximately a 95% success rate for all implants. With modern advances in dentistry, some implants can be restored immediately with life like all porcelain crowns. For more details ask your dentist.


Which dental implant option is right for me?

The best dental implant option depends on your needs, jawbone health, and budget. Some patients only need a single implant, while others benefit from implant-supported bridges or full-arch restorations. After consultation and advanced imaging, we’ll recommend the most suitable solution for your smile.

Why are implant-supported dentures better than traditional dentures?

Conventional dentures rest on your gums and are secured with suction or adhesives to stay in place. Implant-supported restorations are anchored in the jawbone, which means more stability, comfort, and confidence. Implant dentures cost more, but they are the closest thing to your natural teeth.

How long does the dental implant treatment take?

Dental implant treatment is not an overnight job. The procedure itself takes several hours, but your implants need several months to heal and integrate with the jawbone. The timeline varies by patient, but most patients need 4-6 months, although factors such as bone grafting may add to the treatment timeline. While the process takes time, the long-term benefits often make it worthwhile.

How many dental implants do I need for full-mouth restoration?

The beauty of full-mouth dental implants is that you don’t need an implant for every tooth lost. In most cases, you need 2-6 implants per arch, depending on the health of the jawbone and the type of implant restoration. Your dentist will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your smile.

Can I have dental implants if I have gum disease?

Yes, dental implants are still an option if you have gum disease. However, gum disease must be addressed first. Healthy gums are essential to ensure the long-term success of dental implants. At our office, we prioritize your periodontal health to create a healthy foundation, ensuring your dental implants thrive.

Who needs implant-supported dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are ideal for patients with multiple missing or failing teeth. They offer ultimate comfort and stability when speaking or eating. They are especially beneficial for people frustrated by loose dentures or difficulty chewing certain foods.

Who may not be suitable for dental implants?

Dental implants have transformed millions of smiles, but not everyone is a candidate. Some patients may not be immediate candidates for dental implants due to severe bone loss, uncontrolled medical conditions, heavy smoking, or active gum disease. However, you may become eligible for implants once these issues are addressed through preparatory treatment.
