Dental implants can be thought of as new roots for replacement teeth. These implants are joined with your jawbone to create a secure foundation for any new custom designed teeth you are receiving. Depending on a patient’s needs, a varying number of implants could be needed. For example, if just one missing tooth is being replaced, the dentist will most likely need to create just one point of contact or “post” in the jaw. If an entire set of teeth is being replaced a dentist will use several points of contact in the jaw. With today’s advancements in technology and understanding, entire sets of teeth can be properly secured with just four posts!
