“How many implants do you need for 5 teeth?”
I have five missing teeth and want to replace them. How many implants do you need for 5 teeth?

The amount of implants needed depends on the bone quality and proximity of the adjacent structures like the sinus, the nasal cavity, and the nerves as well as the type of restoration planned. As a rule, you will need more implants in the upper jaw than in the lower
As the general principle goes, more implants equal more stability but for 5 teeth or 1/2 of an arch 3 (well anchored) implants would be the minimum.
It all depends on where the missing teeth are located. If they are all next to each other, you can do 3 implants to replace all 5. If not, then you may need 5 implants.
Hi, it depends on where the missing teeth are. Are the missing teeth in different quadrants or all In the same arch or quadrant? If all the missing teeth are next to each other you may not need 5 implants to replace them all. You may need less.
