A Fixed and Aesthetic Solution for Replacing Multiple Missing Teeth
The loss of multiple teeth can impact chewing, speech, and smile aesthetics. Fortunately, dental implantology practiced in Cannes now allows for replacing multiple teeth in a stable, discreet, and durable manner.
Rather than placing an implant for each missing tooth, multiple teeth can be replaced with a bridge fixed on two or more dental implants, thus effectively restoring the smile while ensuring comfort and durability.
Why Replace Multiple Missing Teeth?
When multiple teeth are missing, the impacts are numerous:
Chewing is impaired, leading to digestive problems.
The pronunciation can be affected.
The alveolar bone gradually resorbs, weakening the facial structure.
Adjacent teeth tend to shift or tilt, creating misalignment.
Dental implants stop this process, by recreating artificial roots that stimulate the bone and stabilize neighboring teeth.
Advantages of Implants Compared to a Removable Appliance
Unlike removable partial dentures, implant-supported bridges offer a fixed, comfortable, and more durable solution. Here are the main benefits:
No adhesive required
No appliance to remove at night
Natural feel in the mouth
Bone preservation thanks to implant stimulation
Aesthetics similar to natural teeth
The Dental Implant Treatment Process
Each implant treatment follows a rigorous protocol in 5 steps:
Consultation and 3D diagnosis
Digital aesthetic and surgical planning
Implant placement in a sterile operating room
Healing phase (3 to 6 months)
Placement of the definitive prosthesis (crown, bridge, etc.)
A Long-Term Tailored Solution
Dental implants are designed to last several decades, provided they are well-maintained. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential to ensure their longevity.
What if all teeth are missing?
In some cases, multiple missing teeth are no longer sufficient to justify a partial bridge: a full arch rehabilitation can then be considered. This is the case when all teeth in a jaw are missing or need to be extracted.
