Options for replacing one tooth, several teeth or a full arch.
Tooth Replacement
Single Tooth Replacement
A single implant can replace a missing tooth without using neighboring teeth for support. The replacement has a foundation in the jaw, a connecting piece and a custom-made crown above the gum.
Tooth Replacement
Multiple Tooth Replacement
When several neighboring teeth are missing, implants may support a connected bridge. The number and position of implants are planned around the gap, available bone and bite—not simply one implant for every missing tooth.
Tooth Replacement
Full-Arch Tooth Replacement
Full-arch treatment replaces all teeth in one upper or lower arch. A fixed bridge can attach to several implants, bringing the tooth positions, gum replacement, support and cleaning access into one coordinated design.
Tooth Replacement
All-on-4
All-on-4 is a specific full-arch implant concept using four supports for a fixed restoration. Two implants are placed toward the front and two are angled farther back, with suitability determined through individualized planning.
Tooth Replacement
Implant-Retained Dentures
An implant-retained denture uses attachments to help hold a removable denture in place. The denture lifts off for cleaning, while the implants remain in the jaw—a different arrangement from a fixed implant bridge.
Preparation & Ongoing Care
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting adds a scaffold where more jawbone volume is needed. It may help prepare a site for an implant, but the technique, material and healing requirements depend on the shape and size of the area.
Preparation & Ongoing Care
Sinus Lifts
A sinus lift creates space for additional bone beneath the sinus lining in the upper back jaw. It may be considered when the sinus and limited bone height affect the position of a planned dental implant.
Preparation & Ongoing Care
Implant Care & Maintenance
Implants need ongoing care even though their artificial parts cannot develop tooth decay. Daily cleaning and professional review focus on the surrounding gums and bone, as well as the fit, bite and condition of the replacement teeth.
Understand the replacement options.
Compare single-tooth replacement, multiple-tooth replacement, implant-retained dentures and full-arch approaches. Our guides explain how these options differ and the questions to ask about the replacement teeth, attachments and ongoing care.
Understand the whole treatment plan.
Implant planning is about more than choosing a replacement tooth. Discuss your oral health, any preparatory procedures, the sequence of treatment, alternatives and maintenance needs. Ask which clinician would carry out each stage and whether any part of the proposed care would involve a referral.
Prepare your consultation questions.
Ask what the proposed estimate includes, how the treatment stages would be scheduled and what follow-up care involves. Your assessment determines which options are suitable; an educational guide cannot establish your individual treatment plan.
