When you're missing several teeth, you have the option of replacing them with a removable partial denture, individual implant supported crowns or implant supported bridges. Depending on the situation, your periodontist may recommend that a dental implant be placed to replace each missing tooth.
Number of teeth a dental bridge can replace
Generally, a dental bridge can be used to replace anywhere from one to four teeth. It's rare to find cases where dental bridges are used to replace five or more teeth.
How many teeth can be replaced? A dental bridge can be used to replace anywhere from one to four teeth, depending on the patient's needs.
