multiple tooth in san diego, ca

If you are missing multiple teeth, you may be a candidate for multiple tooth replacement services. Other signs that you may be a good candidate for implants include:

• You have enough bone in your jaw to support the implants
• Your gums are healthy
• You don’t have any active gum disease
• You don’t smoke
• You are committed to oral hygiene

The length of time it takes to get multiple tooth implants can vary depending on the number of teeth being replaced and the condition of your mouth. However, the entire process usually takes several months from start to finish. Each individual appointment time will vary, with the implant placement process taking about an hour or two, and the attachment of the restoration taking place during a separate appointment. 

Once you’ve had your multiple tooth implants placed, it’s important to take care of your mouth in order to ensure the success of your treatment. Here are a few tips for caring for your dental implants:

• Brush and floss regularly. You should brush at least twice a day and floss at least once a day to remove plaque and bacteria from your teeth and gums. It’s especially important to brush and floss around the base of your implants to avoid inflammation and infection.
• Eat a balanced diet. A healthy diet is important for overall health, but it’s also crucial for the success of dental implants. Eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and lean protein will help keep your teeth and gums healthy. 
• Don’t smoke. Smoking can lead to a number of health problems, including gum disease, which can jeopardize the success of your dental implants. If you smoke, it’s important to quit before and after your treatment.
• Visit your dentist regularly. It’s important to see your dentist at least once a year for a cleaning and checkup. This will help ensure that your implants are healthy and functioning properly.
