Implant bridges and multiple dental implants
Losing more than one tooth affects more than how your smile looks. It can change how you chew on that side of your mouth, and over time the remaining teeth may start to drift into the spaces left behind
Who multiple implants or an implant bridge may suit
People look into replacing several teeth for different reasons. Some have lost neighbouring teeth and want them replaced together. Others have gaps in separate parts of the mouth, or are weighing up whether an implant option might suit them better than a larger denture or a conventional bridge.
The 3-step
treatment process
Consultation and
treatment planning
01
We start with a full assessment. That means reviewing your dental and medical history, examining your mouth, and taking the scans or radiographs needed to see the bone and the structures around it. With several teeth in play, this stage focuses on how the gaps relate to one another and where the implants are best positioned.
After the assessment we talk through whether an implant bridge, separate implants, or another option is appropriate, and lay out the benefits and risks of each. You receive a written treatment plan with a detailed cost estimate and an expected timeframe.
Implant placement
and healing
02
If implants suit you, they are placed into the jawbone, usually under local anaesthetic. A healing period follows so each implant can integrate with the surrounding bone and settle into a stable base for the final teeth. This bonding process is known as osseointegration.
Healing times differ between patients, and the phase can run longer where several implants are placed or where preparatory work such as bone grafting is needed. Where it is clinically appropriate, we can fit temporary teeth during healing so you are not left with visible gaps.
Final restoration
and ongoing care
03
Once healing is complete, we take digital impressions and use them to design your bridge or your individual crowns. Each one is made to sit correctly against your bite and to match the shape, size and shade of your natural teeth.
Afterwards we show you how to clean around the implants and under a bridge, and we recommend regular reviews to keep everything healthy and working well over the long term.

FAQs
Common questions about full-arch implants treatment, suitability, and aftercare.
Both are well-established options, and the better one depends on how many teeth are missing and where they sit. An implant-supported bridge can work well where several teeth are gone in a row, while separate implants often suit gaps in different parts of the mouth. Your bone volume, your bite and your cleaning routine all play a part. We talk through the options that apply to you at your consultation.
It depends on how many teeth are missing, where they are and how much bone is present. With an implant-supported bridge, it is often possible to replace a row of teeth using fewer implants than the number of teeth being replaced. We work out the right number for you after a clinical assessment.
Treatment usually runs over several months, which allows time for the implants to bond with the bone before the final teeth go on. The exact timeframe depends on how many implants are placed, how you heal and whether any preparatory work is needed. Where appropriate, we can fit temporary teeth during healing so you are not left with visible gaps.
Implants are usually placed under local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable during the procedure. As with any dental treatment, experiences differ, and some tenderness, swelling or discomfort can occur while you heal. We explain what to expect beforehand and give you guidance on recovery and aftercare.
A partial denture is one way to replace several teeth, and a conventional bridge may suit in some cases too. Each has its own pros and considerations. The right choice depends on your oral health, where the teeth are missing and what you are after. We go through the alternatives so you can make an informed decision.
Like any surgical or dental procedure, implant treatment carries possible risks and complications. These can include infection, slower healing, implant failure, and gum or bone-related problems, along with other risks specific to your case. Before you go ahead, we talk through the benefits, the risks and the alternatives that apply to you.
Implants and implant bridges need looking after, much like natural teeth. Regular brushing, cleaning around and underneath the restorations, and routine dental reviews all help keep the implants and surrounding gum healthy. Cleaning a bridge is a little different from cleaning separate implants, and we give you instructions tailored to whichever you have once treatment is done.
Some private health policies with dental cover may pay towards part of the cost. Because benefits differ between insurers and levels of cover, we suggest contacting your health fund directly to confirm what your policy allows.
