Individual implant crowns
Each missing tooth gets its own implant and crown. This often suits gaps spread around the mouth, and each tooth can be cleaned with ordinary floss.
Replacing several teeth at 220 Point Cook Road
Multiple tooth implants in Point Cook: individual crowns or an implant bridge.
When several teeth are missing, implants can hold individual crowns or a bridge that spans the gap, often with fewer implants than teeth. At Magical Smiles Point Cook, implants start from $5,000 each. This page explains the two approaches, what shapes the plan and how it compares with a partial denture.
Several gaps, several compromises
Losing more than one tooth tends to add up: chewing gets harder, a partial denture can feel like a hassle, and the remaining teeth can drift. You might recognise one of these:
- Your partial denture clicks or moves when you eat or talk.
- Two or three teeth side by side have been lost or need to come out.
- Gaps on both sides make it hard to chew comfortably.
- You want something fixed that doesn't come out at night.
How do implants replace several teeth?
Each implant is a small post placed in the jaw that acts like a tooth root. When several teeth are missing, you don't always need one implant per tooth: two implants can often support a bridge of three or more teeth, as long as the bone and spacing allow.
Unlike a traditional bridge, an implant bridge doesn't rely on filing down healthy neighbouring teeth, and unlike a partial denture, it stays in. Compare all implant options
Individual crowns or an implant bridge?
Which approach fits depends on where the gaps are, how many teeth are missing and how much bone there is.
Implant-supported bridge
Two or more implants hold a joined row of teeth. This often suits several missing teeth in a row and can mean fewer implants, though cleaning under the bridge takes extra care.
Your dentist will also explain alternatives such as a conventional bridge or a partial denture, and the risks of each approach.
How treatment usually unfolds
The details depend on how many teeth are involved and how you heal, but the stages are similar for most people.
01
Consultation and examination
Your dentist checks the gaps, your gums and your bite, reviews your health and may take X-rays to see the bone at each site.
02
Your plan
You'll compare individual crowns with a bridge and hear whether any site needs bone grafting first.
03
Placing the implants
The implants are placed under local anaesthetic, sometimes at one appointment and sometimes in stages.
04
Healing
The bone bonds to each implant over the following months. You'll get advice on eating and cleaning in the meantime.
05
Crowns or bridge fitted
Once the implants are stable, your final crowns or bridge are fitted, followed by regular check-ups.
Grafting at one site or several
Bone can differ from one gap to the next. One site may be fine while another has thinned after an old extraction.
Your dentist will explain which sites, if any, need building up and whether that happens before or with the implants. More on bone grafting
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
Upper molars and the sinus
If some of the missing teeth are upper molars or premolars, the sinus above them may leave too little bone for an implant.
A sinus lift adds height under the sinus so those positions can be included in your plan.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
Caring for several implants
Each implant needs daily cleaning where it meets the gum. Under a bridge, floss threaders, interdental brushes or a water flosser help reach the spots a toothbrush misses.
Regular check-ups let your dentist look at each implant separately. Learn about peri-implantitis care →
What do multiple implants cost?
Implants start from $5,000 each at Magical Smiles. Your total depends on how many implants you need, whether they hold individual crowns or a bridge, and any grafting, so ask for a written plan with every item listed.

Three questions worth asking
Crowns or a bridge?
Ask which suits the position of your gaps and how each would be cleaned day to day.
How many implants?
Ask how many implants your plan needs and why, since a bridge can sometimes use fewer.
What's in the fee?
Ask for a written plan showing each implant, crown or bridge and any grafting.
Multiple tooth implant FAQs
Not always. Several teeth in a row can often be replaced with an implant bridge on fewer implants. Your dentist will recommend a number based on the gap, your bite and the bone available.
It's a row of joined replacement teeth held by two or more implants instead of by your natural teeth. It stays in and is cleaned in place, with extra care underneath.
Implants start from $5,000 each at Magical Smiles Point Cook. The total depends on the number of implants, the crowns or bridge and any grafting, all listed in your written plan.
It depends on your mouth and priorities. Implants are fixed and don't rest on the gums; a partial denture is removable and avoids surgery. Your dentist can explain the trade-offs for you.
