Single/Multiple Tooth Questions Patients Commonly Ask
Q: What’s the Healing Time for Single or Multiple Dental Implants?
A: This all depends on where you are getting the surgical implants. It’s usually shorter on the lower jaw because there is denser bone there while the upper jaw can take just a bit more time. Normally the healing process spans 10-16 weeks.
Q: Am I eligible for dental implants for my single or multiple teeth?
A: This depends on a lot of factors with the two biggest being whether you have a healthy jawbone and a very strong immune system.
Q: Once my single/multiple implants are installed, how do I care for them?
A: It’s the same system you would follow with your natural teeth. You should brush twice a day as well as floss. Make sure to schedule regular appointments with us here at NuLife so we can see how your implants are progressing.
Q: How Much Should I Expect to Pay for Single/Multiple Teeth?
A: That depends on how many teeth you are looking to replace as well as what the condition of your jawbone is from the get-go and whether you may need a bone graft before the procedure begins.
Q: What Else Should I Know or Be Prepared for Before the Procedure?
A: While Dental Implants are options for both single or multiple missing teeth, there is a less invasive procedure called dental bridges which is a good option for those who have underlying health issues. Although dental bridges, which are made of two crowns joined by an artificial tooth, can restore function, healthy teeth must first be filed and altered.
