"Dr. Wiele, 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 the financial resources of the
patient.
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 the type of
restoration must be altered.
