FAQs
Q. Can I replace two missing teeth next to each other by attaching one implant to a natural tooth and making a bridge?
A. It is generally not recommended to attach implants to natural teeth. It is better to place two separate implants for long-term success.
Q. Could the loss of my upper back teeth be related to increased sinus issues on that side?
A. Long-term loss of upper back teeth can cause the maxillary sinus to grow downward. Sinus elevation may be required to create space for implant placement and restore the missing teeth.

Q. Do I need an implant for each tooth in the lower jaw if I’m wearing full dentures?
A. The number of implants required depends on the type of implant and teeth being replaced. A thorough examination can determine the appropriate number of implants.
Q. My dentist said I don’t have enough bone for in-the-bone implants. Are there alternatives?

Q. Can an implant replace a fractured tooth that had a root canal?
