When a patient is missing multiple teeth and therefore interested in getting multiple implants placed in their mouth, a commonly asked question is whether they can have all the implants placed during the same appointment. The broad answer is they can get as many implants needed to once again have a healthy mouth. For patients who are missing most or all their teeth, they can choose to have an implant-supported bridge or implant-supported dentures to replace their teeth, which uses anywhere between four and eight implants to hold them in place.
Does getting implants hurt?
According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, while there may be discomfort and bruising, many people report that they feel better than anticipated after the procedure. This means that most patients are able to go back to their jobs and/or resume their everyday responsibilities in between appointments. When it comes to how many appointments it will take for someone to have implants placed in their mouth, the average amount is three, but every patient is different.
