"Dr. Brace, how many
dental implants should be placed?"
This
is a question that should be determined during the treatment plan. A
good rule-of-thumb is to place one implant for each tooth replaced.
Other decisive factors for the number of implants needed for success is
the quality and quantity of the patient's bone. Equally as important are
the existing anatomy of the bone and the financial resources of the
patient. (At Barry Brace DMD & Associates we try not to let money get in the way of good
dentistry.)
Placing enough implants to restore teeth is
vitally important to the long-term success of the restoration. Simply
stated, the most costly mistake is to have an implant fail because not
enough implants are placed to support the teeth. If the number of implants
is limited due to financial constraints of the patient, then the implant
treatment should be avoided or the type of restoration must be altered.
