How Many Teeth Can Be Attached To An Implant?
Normally an implant would support a single crown. This isn’t always the case. If you have several teeth that are missing you wouldn’t necessarily need an implant for each tooth.
One implant will support a bridge or a denture. If you need a full smile reconstruction, and 10 or more new teeth need to be supported in either your upper or lower jaw, a minimum of 5 implants would be used.
The number of implants needed is dependent on a number of factors including the volume of bone available and the density of that tissue.
