Options for Replacing Multiple Missing Teeth

In this video, Dr. Ruedi Tillmann explains the various options for replacing multiple missing teeth, including dentures and implants. Patients in Kaysville and Greater Salt Lake City, UT, are encouraged to schedule a free consultation to determine the best solution for their needs.

If you have only a few teeth remaining in an upper or lower arch—such as three teeth—you might wonder what options are available. Fortunately, there are several solutions to restore your smile and functionality.

Mini implants are a versatile option that can be used to replace an entire arch of teeth. You can choose a fixed restoration, which remains securely in place, or a removable prosthesis that offers flexibility. For patients missing only a few teeth, single implants can be placed to restore specific areas, providing a natural and functional replacement.

For those who are completely edentulous (without teeth), a common approach involves placing six mini implants in an arch to securely support a full denture. This creates a stable, comfortable fit that allows you to chew and function normally, much like natural teeth.

The process is straightforward and minimally invasive, offering a reliable and efficient way to restore your smile. Whether you need a single tooth replacement or a full arch solution, we can tailor a treatment plan to meet your needs.
