If you're missing your upper teeth, having all of them individually replaced so that they will appear to be growing out of your gum tissue will most closely resemble the appearance of your natural teeth. Because the bone in the upper jaw is not as hard as the one in the lower jaw, people often need more implants, usually 8 to 10, to support their new replacement teeth. Separate abutments or support posts for each one of these implants will be made and crowns for each missing tooth will be placed.
Tooth implants are typically more expensive than more traditional alternatives. If you're interested in individual implants, consult with your dentist at East Brewster Dental. Schedule an appointment by calling us at 508-255-0111.
