Multi-Tooth Dental Implants in Anderson, SC

A Modern, Patient-Friendly Solution to Missing Teeth

Multi-tooth dental implants are designed for patients who have two or more missing teeth in a row and want a fixed, durable replacement. Instead of relying on the surrounding teeth for support, implants are placed directly into the jawbone to anchor a custom-made bridge. The result feels remarkably natural and restores full chewing ability without worrying about movement, adhesives, or bulky hardware.

Patients often choose this option because it protects the health of the jawbone, preserves facial structure, and blends seamlessly with existing teeth. It’s a long-term investment in both function and confidence, and one that offers unmatched stability when performed by skilled implant providers.

Who is a Candidate for Multi-Tooth Implants?

Most adults in good overall health can be candidates for implant-supported restorations, but the best way to know for sure is with a clinical evaluation. You may benefit from multi-tooth implants if you:

• Have two to four missing teeth together in one area
• Want a fixed, non-removable solution
• Prefer better stability compared to partial dentures
• Have healthy gums and adequate bone support
• Want to prevent bone loss and preserve facial shape
• Are looking for a long-term, natural-feeling restoration

During your consultation, Dr. Hardy or Dr. Wilson will assess the health of your gums, the strength of your jawbone, and your overall goals to determine if implants are the most appropriate option. Even patients who have been missing teeth for several years may still qualify with the help of bone grafting or other supportive treatments.

Our Implant Process at Cornerstone Dentistry

We understand that choosing implants is a significant decision. That’s why we follow a detailed, patient-focused process that ensures comfort and clarity every step of the way.

1. Consultation and 3D Imaging

Your visit begins with a complete evaluation and a CBCT scan, which provides a high-resolution 3D image of your jawbone. This allows our dentists to see the exact bone structure, root positions, and nerve pathways, creating a precise roadmap for treatment.

2. Personalized Treatment Planning

Using your CBCT results, we design a custom treatment plan that determines implant positioning, restoration design, and your expected timeline. We explain everything in simple terms so you know exactly what to expect.

3. Guided Implant Placement

Cornerstone Dentistry uses guided surgical technology to place your implants with optimal precision. This method improves accuracy, minimizes discomfort, and shortens healing time. Each implant is positioned to support your bite evenly and securely.

4. Healing & Osseointegration

Over the next few months, the implants naturally fuse with the jawbone, strengthening their foundation. Most patients report minimal discomfort during this period and can continue normal daily activities.

5. Custom Bridge Design

Once healing is complete, your custom bridge is crafted to match the color, shape, and contour of your natural teeth. We ensure your bite feels comfortable and balanced.

6. Final Placement and Bite Adjustment

At your final visit, we secure the bridge to the implants and refine your bite for a seamless, natural feel. Most patients can eat comfortably the same day.

This approach allows us to deliver high-quality, long-lasting results while keeping patients informed and comfortable throughout their journey.

Understanding Your Treatment Timeline

While every patient’s case is unique, most implant treatments follow a similar timeline:

• Week 1–2: Initial healing and mild tenderness as the implants settle

   

• Month 1–3: Implants fully integrate with the bone

   

• Final Appointment: Custom bridge placement and final bite adjustment

We communicate with you throughout the process, monitor healing, and make sure every stage goes smoothly.

Implants vs Bridges vs Partial Dentures

Many patients come to us wondering how dental implants compare to other tooth-replacement options. Here’s a simple breakdown:

Multi-tooth implants offer the closest match to natural teeth. They won’t shift while eating, don’t rely on adjacent teeth for support, and help preserve the bone structure that keeps your smile looking youthful.

What Our Patients Experience
