Indications for Dental Implants
It does not matter how many teeth you have lost; dental implants can replace them all from anywhere in the upper or lower jaw. The indications for dental implants are listed below.
Missing One Tooth
Replacing a single missing tooth with an implant-retained dental crown helps to prevent the loss of bone tissue and reduces the risk that you will lose even more teeth.

Missing Multiple Teeth
A dental implant-retained bridge can replace several missing teeth, preventing those that remain from shifting around and restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Missing All Teeth
An implant-retained denture provides superior stability for a complete denture. This is especially important in cases of total tooth loss, as a traditional denture may not provide adequate security. It is not necessary to place an individual implant post for each missing tooth -- instead, the complete denture can be retained on fewer strategically-placed posts.

All-on-4
Dental implants are nothing new in dentistry; they’ve been used for decades now, and as such there have been plenty of opportunities to develop new techniques to make the procedure as efficient and effective as possible. One such innovation is the All-on-4 technique. Four dental implants inserted into the jaw at very specific angles can be used to support a full set of false teeth. Not only does this keep the number of implants used to a minimum, but it often allows you to receive new teeth right away.

Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants
The cost of dental implants can vary greatly from one procedure to the next. During an implant consultation, your dentist will consider the following factors to determine what you can expect to pay for your dental implants:
- The health of your jaw bone and whether or not you need a bone graft or sinus lift before getting dental implants
- How many teeth you are missing
- Where in the jaw the missing teeth are located
- Considerations regarding anesthesia and sedation
