Teeth Implants
How Many Teeth Can You Get Implants For?
Dental implants are a popular method for replacing missing teeth. Their popularity arises from the comfort they provide to individuals, their durability and ease of integration into the jawbone. This allows for a natural look, feel and functionality as the usual tooth. Any Barrie dentist will easily recommend a dental implant as the best course for treating missing teeth. In case you have teeth which have decayed or have been damaged beyond repair, this is also an option.

Why Dental Implants
The major question you may have concerning dental implants is the maximum number one can get. This is pertinent if you have either a set or a number of teeth that need replacing. Generally speaking, one can replace all 28 teeth with the exception of the third molar. Third molars are never replaced by an implant.
Teeth Replacement
While you can go on to replace all 28 teeth with implants, such cases are rare. This is due to a number of factors as well as the approaches taken in cosmetic dentistry Barrie to deal with cases of multiple tooth loss. For a couple of teeth in different places then each tooth will get an individual implant. However for teeth close together or a whole jaw set then the number of implants a dentist Barrie recommends is almost halved or reduced by one or two implants. This depends on the method which will be resorted to by the dentist. For example, if one loses two teeth at the same place, one implant is enough but it will support wider crown.
Dental Implants & Teeth Replacement
Dental implants are also used along with other methods for teeth replacements. This include bridges and dentures. They add stability and strength to the other methods reducing the sliding and speech difficulties usually associated with dentures. This combination helps solve varied situations. Before one gets dental implants, there are certain factors that are considered. These factors determine if one gets the implants at all or the number of implants you can get.
Dental Health
The first issue is dental health. If you have gum inflammation, Periodontal disease and any other gum condition, you have to get treatment first. Smokers and people suffering from uncontrolled diabetes are not advised to undertake dental implants. Another issue is the bone quality you have. Dental implants are fixed deep within the jawbone. If they are going to be several implants you need to have the right amount. Where any other factor could have affected the bone quality, either another method will be used or the dentist will resort to bone grafting.
SURGICAL PROCEDURE
When the Process of Dental Implants Can Be Postponed?
Another requirement for dental implants is suitability to undergo a surgical procedure. If any medication or condition like undergoing radiation therapy in the head area can be affected, the process of dental implants is postponed.
What Age Is Suitable for Dental Implants?
The suitability for dental implants is also determined by age. While there is no maximum age for getting implants, there is a minimum age for getting them. It is recommended that only those above the age of 17 get implants. This means children and teenagers cannot have them. At a younger age than that the jawbone is not yet fully matured.
