Do all teeth need to be removed to get dental implants? 🦷🤔
It is one of the most common questions we hear at Island Dental, and the short answer is NO!
Many patients believe that losing a few teeth means starting from scratch with a full-arch replacement. But modern restorative dentistry allows us to target only what is needed, preserving your healthy natural teeth.
In a recent case at our clinic, a patient was missing multiple chewing teeth on just one side of his lower jaw. Instead of a removable partial denture or a full-arch overhaul, we placed 3 precision dental implants and created a custom 4-unit implant-supported bridge.
This conservative approach restored his natural chewing function, stabilized his bite, and filled the gap seamlessly—all while keeping his remaining healthy teeth completely untouched and safe.
If you are missing teeth and wondering what options are available to restore your smile and function, we are here to help you explore a personalized plan.
Every dental implant procedure involves surgical placement into the jawbone and carries inherent risks and recovery considerations. Individual clinical outcomes vary, and a professional assessment is required to determine suitability.
