Are dental implants used for a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth?
Both. One of the more common uses is with patients who are missing a tooth due to heredity – the primary tooth never grew in to replace the baby tooth. Dental implants are also a great solution for teeth lost to injury. They’re a far better answer than a flipper, which is essentially a retainer with false teeth attached. Finally, dental implants are sometimes preferable to dentures.
