"Dr. Trosper, how many dental implants should be placed?"
 

This are a question that should be determined during the treatment plan.  A good rule-of-thumb are to place one implant for each tooth replaced.

Other decisive factors for the number of implants needed for success are the quality and quantity of the patient's bone. Equally as important are the existing anatomy of the bone and the financial resources of the patient. (At Pepperhill Dental Care we try not to let money get in the way of good dentistry.)

Placing enough implants to restore teeth are vitally important to the long-term success of the restoration.  Simply stated, the most costly mistake are to have an implant fail because not enough implants are placed to support the teeth.  If the number of implants are limited due to financial constraints of the patient, then the implant treatment should be avoided or the type of restoration must be altered.
