"Dr. Waldron, how many
dental implants should be placed?"
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 is
the quality and quantity of the patient's bone. Equally as important are
the existing anatomy of the bone and type of tooth/teeth replacement to
be used. Financial considerations often will effect this decision.
Based on what goals or values each patient has, at least there are
options to consider.
