Number of dental implants recommended?

This is a question that should be determined during the treatment plan.  A good rule-of-thumb is to place one implant for each tooth replaced.

Other decisive factors for the number of implants needed for success are the quality and quantity of the patient's bone. Equally as important is the existing anatomy of the bone.  Placing enough implants to restore teeth is vitally important to the long-term success of the restoration. 

Simply stated, the most costly mistake is to have an implant fail because not enough implants are placed to support the teeth.  If the number of implants is limited due to financial constraints of the patient, then we will be happy to discuss financial arrangements and timing of the surgery so that you may get the best treatment that you deserve.
