What are the benefits of multiple implants?
Multiple implants are a treatment option offered by our dental implant surgeons in Durham, and there are multiple benefits:
- It’s a straightforward process which can be completed under local anaesthetic.
- The implant will provide a solid support for your replacement tooth.
- Alleviates the need to file down the neighbouring healthy teeth, in order to attach the bridge in place
- Your bridge is anchored to your implants which is bonded with your jaw

Each missing tooth does not necessarily require an individual implant to replace it. Often a more stable and cost-effective approach is to place an implant at either end of the ‘tooth gap’ and bridge across the implants with a dental bridge. The chewing function is then restored with a minimum number of implants.
Traditional bridge treatments require your local Durham dentists to file down the neighbouring healthy teeth, in order to attach the bridge in place. Dental implant technology alleviates the need to damage these healthy teeth, instead anchoring your bridge to implants, bonded with your jaw.
Next steps
Temporary replacement teeth are usually fitted at the same time as your implant placement, which will stay in place until the final restoration appointment at Peveril Road Dental & Implant Clinic.
Once your jaw has healed, an abutment will be fixed to the implant to hold your replacement teeth (crown or bridge) in place. Abutments are produced in titanium, gold or porcelain, and can come as a standard fit or crafted specifically for you. These options offer a range of aesthetic results, depending on your requirements.
