Replacing Multiple Teeth in Long Island

Replace multiple missing teeth without damaging your healthy ones. Meadowbrook Dental Care offers implant-supported bridges and multiple dental implants in Mineola and Plainview.

A Strong, Permanent Solution for Multiple Missing Teeth

If you are missing several teeth, you know the struggle of trying to chew comfortably or feeling self-conscious about the gaps in your smile. While removable partial dentures can fill the space, they often feel unstable and can accelerate bone loss. Traditional bridges require grinding down healthy neighboring teeth.

At Meadowbrook Dental Care, we offer a superior solution: multiple dental implants. By using implants as a stable foundation, we can replace several teeth securely and permanently without affecting your remaining healthy teeth. Our implant experts in Mineola and Plainview use advanced 3D planning to restore your ability to eat, laugh, and live without compromise.

Custom Options to Restore Your Smile

You do not necessarily need one implant for every single missing tooth. We use strategic engineering to provide maximum stability with fewer implants.

Implant-Supported Bridges: This is the ideal solution for replacing 3 or more teeth in a row. Instead of using your natural teeth to support a bridge (which can weaken them), we place two dental implants to act as "bookends." These implants hold the bridge securely in place. It is stronger than a traditional bridge and preserves your jawbone.
Replacing Scattered Missing Teeth: If you have lost teeth in different parts of your mouth, individual implants are the best way to fill those gaps. This prevents the surrounding teeth from shifting into the empty spaces and maintains the alignment of your bite.
Implant-Retained Partials: For patients who need to replace a section of teeth but want an alternative to a fixed bridge, we can design partial dentures that "snap" onto implants. This eliminates the unsightly metal clasps of traditional partials and provides a rock-solid fit that won't slip when you speak.
Preserving Your Jawbone: The most critical advantage of implants over traditional bridges or partials is bone preservation. Implants stimulate the jawbone just like natural tooth roots, preventing the "sunken" facial appearance that often occurs with tooth loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an implant for every missing tooth? No. In fact, an implant-supported bridge allows us to replace 3 or 4 teeth using just two implants. This makes the treatment more affordable and less invasive while still providing exceptional stability.
How is this different from a traditional bridge? A traditional bridge requires us to file down the healthy teeth on either side of the gap to cap them. An implant-supported bridge is free-standing. It does not rely on or damage your natural teeth, which is better for your long-term oral health.
Is the procedure painful? Most patients report that the procedure is much easier than they expected. We use local anesthesia to numb the area completely. For patients replacing multiple teeth who may be anxious, we also offer sedation dentistry to ensure you nap comfortably through the appointment.
How long does the process take? After placing the implants, we typically allow 3-6 months for them to fuse with the bone (osseointegration). During this time, we can provide a temporary restoration so you are never without teeth. Once healed, we attach your permanent custom bridge.
