Multiple tooth implants in Lansvale

Multiple dental implants
in Lansvale

Two or more gaps, planned as one job

When several teeth are missing, the question is not only whether implants suit you but how many you actually need. Multiple dental implants can be placed as separate posts, one per tooth, or as a smaller number of implants carrying a short bridge. At Odontologie Dental Care in Lansvale we plan the whole mouth at a free consultation, so the design, the fees and the timeline are all on paper before you decide.

  • Individual implants or an implant bridge, compared side by side
  • Implant bridges from $5,000 for two teeth

The cost of multiple implants depends on how many implants the plan needs, whether the teeth are separate crowns or a bridge, the materials, and any extractions, grafts or IV sedation. Your written plan prices each part so you can compare designs. Our dental implant cost guide explains why fees vary.

Several implants are a larger investment, so Odontologie Dental Care offers humm and Afterpay, subject to approval. See our payment options.

Who it suits

Multiple teeth implants for Lansvale and south-west Sydney

Multiple tooth implants are for people who have lost two or more teeth but still have a good number of their own. That might be a couple of back teeth taken out over the years, a run of front teeth lost in an accident, or gaps on both sides of the mouth.

The aim is fixed teeth that stay in, so there is no plate to take out at night and nothing clipped to your healthy teeth. People come to us from Cabramatta, Canley Heights, Chipping Norton, Liverpool, Fairfield and other south-west Sydney suburbs for this kind of planning. If you are missing most or all of the teeth in a jaw, a full-arch approach such as All-On-4 or implant-supported dentures is usually the better starting point.

How many you need

Can several teeth be replaced with fewer implants?

Often, yes. You rarely need one implant for every missing tooth. Teeth that sit next to each other can be joined into a bridge, and a bridge can span a gap that has no implant directly under it. As a guide:

  • Two teeth in a row. One or two implants, depending on the bone and where the teeth sit.
  • Three teeth in a row. Commonly two implants, one at each end, carrying a three-tooth bridge.
  • Separate gaps. Gaps on different sides of the mouth are planned as separate units, each with its own implant or bridge.

What sets the final number is the bone available, the biting force in that part of the mouth and how long the span is. Back teeth take more load, so they may need more support than the same span at the front. Fewer implants usually means a lower fee and less surgery, which is why we always look at this first.

Choosing the design

Implant bridge or individual implants?

Individual implants give each missing tooth its own post and crown. You floss between them like natural teeth, and if one ever needs attention, the others are not affected. They suit gaps that are spread out, or cases where there is good bone at every site.

An implant bridge joins the new teeth together and rests them on fewer implants. It costs less than one implant per tooth, needs less surgery and can work where there is not enough bone at every position. You clean under it with a floss threader or water flosser. When three or more teeth are missing in a row, see our page on implant-supported bridges.

Many mouths end up with a mix: a single implant for one gap and a bridge for another.

Timeline

How long does treatment take for several implants?

Most people with several implants finish in about four to eight months. The surgery itself is short compared with the healing that follows. Treatment may be staged:

  • Extractions first. Any failing teeth are removed, and the sites may heal before implants go in.
  • Grafting where needed. If a site is short of bone, a bone graft may be done first and left to heal.
  • Placement in one or two sessions. Gaps on the same side are often done together; gaps on opposite sides may be split so you can chew comfortably on one side while the other heals.
  • Teeth fitted when the bone is ready. Crowns and bridges go on once the implants are stable.

Your written plan lists each stage in order, so you can arrange work and family commitments around it.

Other choices

Options to replace missing teeth, not only implants

Implants are not the only way to fill several gaps, and they are not right for everyone. A removable partial denture costs less and needs no surgery, though it can move when you eat. A conventional bridge on natural teeth works well when the teeth beside the gap already need crowns.

Our articles on options to replace teeth and prosthetic dental options in Australia set these out in more depth, and we are happy to talk through each one at your appointment.

How it works

How several implants are placed and restored

The stages are the same whether you need two implants or five. What changes is how the replacement teeth are joined together and how long each phase takes.

01

Map every gap

We photograph your teeth, take an OPG X-ray and, where the bone needs measuring, a 3D cone-beam scan. From that we work out where implants can go, how many are needed and whether any site needs a graft. You get a written plan with each option priced.

Place the implants

The implants are placed under local anaesthetic, often in one session when the gaps are on the same side of the mouth. Longer or more involved sessions can be done with IV sedation given by an anaesthetist.

Healing time

Each implant needs around three to six months to bond with the bone. If you need a temporary tooth or denture so the gaps do not show in the meantime, we plan that from the start. Once the implants are firm, abutments are fitted.

Fit the new teeth

Your crowns or bridge are made by a dental laboratory from a digital scan, shaded to match the rest of your teeth. We check the fit and your bite at each point of contact before fixing them in place.

Good to know

Multiple Tooth Implants - frequently asked

How much do multiple implants cost?

It depends on the design. Each individual implant with its crown starts from $3,999. An implant bridge replacing two teeth starts from $5,000 and one replacing three teeth from $9,000. A partial implant-supported denture starts from $9,000. Extractions, grafts and IV sedation are added only if you need them, and all of it is itemised in your written plan.

Can several teeth be replaced with fewer implants?

Usually. Neighbouring teeth can be joined into a bridge, so three teeth in a row are often carried on two implants. The number you need depends on your bone, the length of the gap and how much biting force that area takes.

Implant bridge or individual implants: which should I choose?

Individual implants are cleaned like natural teeth and work well for spread-out gaps with good bone. A bridge needs fewer implants and less surgery, and it costs less, but you clean underneath it with a threader or water flosser. We show you both, with prices, at the consultation.

How long does treatment take?

Most cases take four to eight months from the first implant to the final teeth. Extractions and bone grafts can add time, and placement may be split into two sessions if the gaps are on opposite sides.

Are implants better than a partial denture?

Implants are fixed, do not rest on the gums and help preserve the bone, while a partial denture is removable and costs less. Some people choose a partial denture held by implants as a middle path. The right choice depends on your mouth, your budget and how you want the teeth to feel.

What are the risks of having several implants placed?

The risks are the same as for a single implant, such as infection, delayed healing, an implant not bonding, and rarely nerve or sinus problems, but they apply at each site. A 3D scan and careful planning reduce them, and we go through the ones relevant to you. Our advice to every implant patient: "Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner." You are welcome to take your written plan with you to that appointment.

Can I have a temporary tooth while the implants heal?

Yes, in most cases. A temporary denture or bridge can fill the gaps during healing so you are not left without teeth in visible areas. We plan this before the implants go in.

Do I have enough bone for several implants?

The OPG X-ray and, where needed, a 3D cone-beam scan show this. Bone thins after teeth are lost, so gaps that are many years old sometimes need a graft first. Shorter implants or a bridge design can also work around thin areas.
