Multiple Dental Implants in Candler, NC

Missing more than one tooth? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to settle for a solution that feels like a compromise. Whether you’ve lost several teeth due to decay, injury, or a periodontic condition, Dr. Michael Martins at Aer Dental Studio in Candler, NC, can restore your smile with multiple dental implants. It’s one of the best tooth replacement options available today, and our patients love the results. Patients who have been told that they don’t have enough bone in the past, may be candidates for our advanced implant placement techniques

What Are Multiple Dental Implants?

Multiple dental implants work the same way as a single-tooth implant, but scaled to replace two or more missing teeth in different areas of your mouth. Each implant consists of:

  • Titanium post — Surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root
  • Abutment — A connector that anchors the visible portion of the tooth
  • Custom crown — A natural-looking restoration matched to the size, shape, and shade of your existing teeth

Rather than relying on a single appliance to span several gaps, multiple implants give each missing tooth its own independent, permanent foundation.

Benefits of Multiple Dental Implants

Multiple implants offer a level of care and stability that bridges and partial dentures simply can’t replicate:

  • Independent support — Each implant stands on its own without relying on neighboring teeth
  • Preserves jawbone — Implants stimulate bone tissue, preventing the bone loss that follows tooth extraction
  • Natural function — Eat, speak, and smile without worrying about slipping or discomfort
  • Long-lasting results — With proper care, implants are designed to last a lifetime
  • Easy to maintain — No special adhesives or removal required; just brush and floss normally

Patients who leave reviews for Dr. Martins and our team frequently mention how natural their implants feel and how well the whole process was managed from start to finish.

The Multiple Implant Procedure

Replacing multiple teeth with implants is a well-organized process that Dr. Martins plans carefully for each patient:

  1. Consultation and Planning — Dr. Martins evaluates your oral health, takes X-rays and uses X-Nav technology for precise 3D treatment planning, mapping out the exact location for your implants.
  2. Implant Placement — Each titanium post is placed into the jawbone in a single surgical appointment, using X-Nav dynamic navigation to ensure absolute precision during the procedure. Patients are sedated for their comfort during the surgery.
  3. Healing and Integration — Over the following months, the implants fuse with the jawbone through osseointegration.
  4. Crown Placement — Custom crowns are attached once healing is complete, finishing your new smile.

Depending on your specific case, one-day implant solutions may be available, allowing placement and a temporary restoration in a single visit. Dr. Martins will discuss whether this is a good fit during your consultation.

Multiple Implants vs. Bridges or Partial Dentures

When weighing your options, here’s how multiple implants compare:

Multiple Implants

  • Can last a lifetime with proper care
  • Preserves jawbone structure
  • Doesn’t affect adjacent teeth
  • Permanently fixed
  • Looks and feels natural

Traditional Bridge

  • Lasts 10–15 years with proper care
  • Doesn’t preserve bone structure
  • Requires adjacent teeth to be filed down
  • Not removable
  • Feel and appearance are satisfactory, but not completely natural

Partial Denture

  • Lasts 5–10 years with proper care
  • Doesn’t preserve bone
  • Doesn’t usually require alteration of adjacent teeth to attach
  • Removable for cleaning and maintenance
  • Feels least natural of the presented options.
  • Has metal clips often visible when smiling

Bridges and partial dentures may carry a lower upfront cost, but they often come with long-term drawbacks, such as bone loss, wear on healthy teeth, and the eventual need for replacement. Multiple implants are a more cost-effective investment over time.

Multiple Implants FAQ

Patients who have been told that they don’t have enough bone in the past, may be candidates for our advanced implant placement techniques. Dr. Martins will evaluate your bone density and may recommend a bone graft before implant placement if needed. This is a common part of the process.

Treatment timelines vary based on the number of implants and healing time, but most patients complete the process within several months. One-day options may be available in select cases.

Patients are sedated for their comfort during the surgery. Discomfort is typically well-managed with local anesthesia. Having multiple implants placed in one appointment is common, and most patients tolerate it well.

Yes. Each crown is custom-crafted to blend with your remaining teeth, so your results look and feel completely natural.

Pricing and Insurance

We understand that cost is a real consideration when planning dental care. Multiple implants do require a larger investment than bridges or partial dentures upfront, but the long-term value is significant. Implants are built to last for many years with proper care, help preserve jawbone density by mimicking natural tooth roots, and don’t rely on altering neighboring teeth for support the way traditional bridges do. These advantages often translate into fewer replacements and lower cumulative costs over time.

At Aer Dental Studio, we offer flexible financing options to make multiple implants truly affordable, and we work with a wide range of insurance plans. Our team will review your coverage and help you understand your out-of-pocket costs before any treatment begins.
