A missing tooth changes more than a smile. It shifts how you chew, how the teeth around it sit, and how the bone underneath holds up over time. At Lake Park Dental in Milwaukee, single and multiple tooth replacements are planned with 3D imaging so the implant goes exactly where the bone and bite need it — not where it's easiest to place. Here's how the process works and what to expect.
WHEN YOU NEED SINGLE OR MULTIPLE TOOTH REPLACEMENTS
Most people who come in for this aren't surprised. They knew the tooth was failing. Maybe a root canal didn't hold. Maybe an old crown finally gave out. Maybe a tooth was knocked out years ago and they've been chewing on one side ever since. Some patients are missing two or three teeth in a row and the gap has started to bother them — in photos, in meals, in how the rest of their bite feels. You see it. Other people may not. That doesn't make it less real.
There's no medical clock on a missing tooth. But waiting has a quiet cost. The bone where the tooth used to live starts to shrink within months. Neighboring teeth lean into the space. The opposite tooth drifts down looking for something to bite against. None of this hurts. All of it makes the eventual fix more involved. The right time to replace a tooth isn't when something hurts. The right time is when you've decided this matters to you.
OUR Tooth REPLACEMENT PROCESS
The first visit is an evaluation, not a sales pitch. We take a CBCT scan to look at the bone in three dimensions, because guessing has a cost. From that scan, Dr. Schneiss plans where each implant should sit — the angle, the depth, the spacing relative to your nerves and sinuses. On surgery day, the placement follows that plan. Sedation is available if you want it, from nitrous to full IV. Most patients say the appointment was easier than the dental work that came before it.
The implant needs time to fuse with the bone — usually three to four months. During healing, you wear a temporary so you're never without a tooth in public. When the bone has bonded, we place the final crown, designed to match your other teeth in shape, shade, and bite. Then it's just a tooth again.
UNDERSTANDING THE COST OF SINGLE & MULTIPLE TOOTH REPLACEMENTS
Implant pricing depends on the case. One tooth in healthy bone is a different plan than three teeth where the bone has thinned. After your evaluation in Milwaukee, you receive a written treatment plan with every fee listed before any work begins — no moving numbers, no surprises at checkout. Lake Park Dental is a fee-for-service practice and provides detailed receipts for insurance reimbursement. Cherry and Care Credit financing are available if you'd like to spread payments out. The next step is information. From there, the decision is yours.
Why Choose Us
Implant dentistry rewards planning and punishes shortcuts. Place the implant in the wrong angle and the crown looks off forever. Place it without checking the bone and the implant fails years later. Dr. Schneiss is among the 6% of US dentists holding both an AGD Fellowship and an AAID Associate Fellowship — the latter earned specifically in implant dentistry. Every case is mapped in 3D before surgery day, and zirconia metal-free implants are offered for patients who want them. This is what we do. We do it carefully.
Frequently Asked Questions about SINGLE & MULTIPLE TOOTH REPLACEMENTS FAQs
Can I replace several missing teeth without getting an implant for each one?
1
Often, yes. Two well-placed implants can support a bridge that replaces three or four teeth. The plan depends on which teeth are missing and the bone underneath. We'll show you the options after the scan.
Does getting an implant hurt?
2
The surgery itself is done with local anesthetic, and sedation is available if you'd prefer to be more relaxed. Most patients say the recovery is milder than they expected — sore for a day or two, then back to normal. Over-the-counter pain relief is usually enough.
How long do implants last?
3
A well-placed implant in healthy bone can last decades. The crown on top may need to be replaced eventually, the way any restoration does. The implant itself — the part in your bone — is built to stay.
Will my insurance cover any of this?
4
Some plans cover part of implant treatment, others cover none of it. We'll give you a written plan with every fee listed so you can submit it to your insurance and know what to expect back. Cherry and Care Credit are available if financing helps.
