Missing more than one tooth doesn’t have to mean living a life of compromise, and giving up comfort, function and confidence. At Moama Dental, we understand that multiple missing teeth aren’t just about the visible gap in your smile, but the ongoing impact it can have in the way you chew, speak or feel about yourself. Over time, untreated tooth loss can also cause other issues, such as affecting your bite, disturbing the position of adjacent teeth and bone loss in the jaw.

We offer multiple dental implants at our Moama clinic, as a long-lasting, natural-looking solution to not only restore your smile, but also protect your oral health and allow you the freedom to eat, speak, and live with ease.

What are Multiple Dental Implants?

Multiple dental implants are a stable and long-term solution for patients who are missing more than one tooth. Instead of relying on traditional dentures or shaving down healthy teeth for a bridge, implants use small titanium posts placed into the jawbone to act as artificial roots. These posts support abutments, which in turn hold natural-looking prosthetic teeth.

Depending on your needs, the implants can support a fixed bridge or a full arch of teeth. This approach restores both function and appearance while protecting the health of neighbouring teeth and bone.

Types of Dental Implants used in Multiple Teeth Replacement

When replacing several teeth, we practice different implant approaches depending on your oral health, bone structure, and treatment goals:

  • Endosteal Implants: These are the most common type and are placed directly into the jawbone. They provide a strong foundation for implant-supported bridges or prosthetic teeth and are ideal if you have sufficient bone density.
  • Subperiosteal Implants: These are positioned under the gum but above the jawbone, and are often recommended for patients with limited bone height who may not be suitable for traditional implants.
  • All-on-X Implants: A modern solution that uses just four to six implants to secure a full arch of teeth. This method is especially effective for upper or lower multiple tooth replacements, combining efficiency with long-term stability.

Our implant surgeons will carefully assess your needs to recommend the most suitable solution for lasting results.

Advantages Over Bridges and Partial Dentures

Multiple dental implants offer many other benefits when compared with traditional options common in Moama:

  • Protecting natural teeth: No need to shave or alter neighbouring teeth, unlike bridges.
  • Preventing bone loss: Implants stimulate the jawbone, reducing shrinkage and facial sagging.
  • Superior function: Enables stronger biting and more natural speech.
  • Long-term comfort: Fixed in place, with no slipping or clicking as in the case of dentures.
  • Low maintenance: Easy to care for like natural teeth, without adhesives or nightly removal.
  • Aesthetic results: Custom restorations blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth.
  • Durability: With the right care, implants can last decades, often longer than bridges or dentures.

The Multiple Dental Implants Procedure at Moama Dental

  • Comprehensive Consultation
    Your journey begins with a thoughtful consultation, where we listen to your concerns, take detailed scans, and discuss the best options for your smile.
  • Pre-Implant Prep
    If any extractions, gum care, or bone support are needed, these are completed first to create a healthy foundation for your implants.
  • Treatment Planning
    Using advanced 3D imaging, we carefully plan each implant’s position to ensure precision, comfort, and a natural-looking outcome.
  • Gentle Implant Placement
    The implants are placed into your jawbone in a minor surgical procedure, with local anaesthetic and optional sedation to keep you relaxed.
  • Healing & Integration
    Over the next few months, your implants bond naturally with your bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong base for your new teeth.
  • Custom Abutments & Crowns/Bridge
    Once your healing is complete, we attach small connectors (abutments) and fit your custom-made teeth, designed to blend beautifully with your natural smile.
  • Long-Term Care
    Regular check-ups and ongoing care help protect your investment, so your implants remain healthy, strong, and functional for many years to come.

Am I a Candidate for Multiple Implants?

Our dentists perform a comprehensive assessment for each patient, to ensure that implants are the right option for them. Having said that, you may be a suitable candidate for multiple dental implants if you:

    • Are in good general health and have healthy gums.
    • Have adequate jawbone volume, or are willing to consider grafting if needed.
    • Have lost two or more teeth and want a long-term, fixed replacement option.
    • Are committed to maintaining excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits.
    • Are seeking improved comfort, function, and confidence compared to removable dentures or bridges.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the healing period take after getting multiple implants?

Healing usually takes 3-6 months, allowing the implants to bond securely with your jawbone before the final teeth are fitted.

Will multiple dental implants look like my natural teeth?

Yes. We prepare each crown or bridge to match the colour, shape, and feel of your natural teeth.

What is the cost of multiple dental implants in Moama?

Costs vary depending on the number of implants and type of restoration. We’ll provide a clear plan during your consultation.

Does it hurt to place multiple implants?

The procedure is done under local anaesthetic (and optional sedation), so discomfort is minimal. Most patients manage recovery well.

Can I get multiple implants if I have some bone loss?

Often, yes. Bone grafting or other preparatory treatments may be recommended to ensure your implants have a strong foundation.
