A permanent solution to this problem comes in the form of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/dentists-dubai\/dental-implants\/\">dental implants<\/a>. However, it is more tricky and costly to get even a single implant. <\/span><b>How Many Teeth Can Dental Implants Replace in Dubai, Abu Dhabi &amp; Sharjah? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully, you may not necessarily need implants for multiple artificial crowns. A single dental implant can hold up to 3 crowns in place meaning that even if you have to replace a whole row, you\u2019ll only need about 4 dental implants to support the entire denture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/how-many-teeth-can-dental-implants-replace\/#What_Are_Dental_Implants\" >What Are Dental Implants:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/how-many-teeth-can-dental-implants-replace\/#How_Many_Implants_Will_You_Need\" >How Many Implants Will You Need:<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/how-many-teeth-can-dental-implants-replace\/#Single_Tooth_Replacement\" >Single Tooth Replacement:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/how-many-teeth-can-dental-implants-replace\/#Multiple_Tooth_Replacement\" >Multiple Tooth Replacement:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/how-many-teeth-can-dental-implants-replace\/#Restoring_Complete_Dentures\" >Restoring Complete Dentures:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/how-many-teeth-can-dental-implants-replace\/#Results\" >Results:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/how-many-teeth-can-dental-implants-replace\/#Aftercare\" >Aftercare:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/how-many-teeth-can-dental-implants-replace\/#Benefits\" >Benefits:<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/how-many-teeth-can-dental-implants-replace\/#Book_A_Consultation\" >Book A Consultation!<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Dental_Implants\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Are Dental Implants:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Implants are dental prosthetics that can be used to treat the loss of one or more teeth. The implant is placed deep in the jaw bone and is left there to assimilate with the surrounding bone. Once merged, the crown can be fitted onto the implant which can then be fitted with a pontic. These types of implants are not online resilient and permanent, they can last longer than your regular teeth as they are designed specifically for durability and can replicate the uses of natural teeth which is also why the cost for implants is considerably high when compared to regular dentures. In case the tooth has decayed or is unsalvageable, tooth removal may be performed before placing implants to save the patient money and add another crown on the same implant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_Implants_Will_You_Need\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Many Implants Will You Need:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As stated earlier, a single implant can carry multiple pontics (prosthetic teeth), and depending on the location of the lost tooth, the doctor can try to maximize these benefits or add a bridge instead to add more stability to teeth. Depending on the requirement of each case, the following treatment techniques are utilized.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Single_Tooth_Replacement\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Single Tooth Replacement:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of a single tooth replacement, a single implant is added surgically. The procedure is straightforward and can prevent bone loss which can occur in case of tooth removal without restoration as the teeth loosen the gap between them to cover the space left by the missing tooth. A single implant can support adjacent crowns as well and can be used to place up to 3 different pontics.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Multiple_Tooth_Replacement\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Multiple Tooth Replacement:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In case more than 3 teeth in a row are missing, the dentist may add an implant to both ends of the gap and add up to 6 crowns between them. Usually, a bridge is added for additional support but some can heal without this additional support.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restoring_Complete_Dentures\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restoring Complete Dentures:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case a whole side of the jaw requires dentures. The doctor may add four or five implants in the places with the highest bone density. These can support a full row of teeth after merging with the bone underneath.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Results\"><\/span>Results:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24595\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-in-Dubai.jpg\" alt=\"How Many Teeth Can Dental Implants Replace in Dubai\" width=\"259\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-in-Dubai.jpg 259w, https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-in-Dubai-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-Clinic-in-Abu-Dhabi.png\" alt=\"How Many Teeth Can Dental Implants Replace Clinic in Abu Dhabi\" width=\"259\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-Clinic-in-Abu-Dhabi.png 259w, https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-Clinic-in-Abu-Dhabi-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-Clinic-in-Dubai-Abu-Dhabi.jpg\" alt=\"How Many Teeth Can Dental Implants Replace Clinic in Dubai &amp; Abu Dhabi\" width=\"259\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-Clinic-in-Dubai-Abu-Dhabi.jpg 259w, https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-Clinic-in-Dubai-Abu-Dhabi-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Best-How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-Clinic-in-Dubai-Abu-Dhabi.jpg\" alt=\"Best How Many Teeth Can Dental Implants Replace Clinic in Dubai &amp; Abu Dhabi\" width=\"259\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Best-How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-Clinic-in-Dubai-Abu-Dhabi.jpg 259w, https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Best-How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-Clinic-in-Dubai-Abu-Dhabi-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Best-How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-Clinic-in-Dubai.jpg\" alt=\"Best How Many Teeth Can Dental Implants Replace Clinic in Dubai\" width=\"259\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Best-How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-Clinic-in-Dubai.jpg 259w, https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Best-How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-Clinic-in-Dubai-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-24596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Best-How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-in-Dubai.jpg\" alt=\"Best How Many Teeth Can Dental Implants Replace in Dubai\" width=\"259\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Best-How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-in-Dubai.jpg 259w, https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Best-How-Many-Teeth-Can-Dental-Implants-Replace-in-Dubai-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Aftercare\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aftercare:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with normal teeth, to prolong the useful life of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.royalclinicdubai.com\/en-ae\/dentists-dubai\/dental-implants\/\">implant<\/a>, make sure to do the following,<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practice proper oral hygiene.
