Dental implants can replace any of the teeth, either in the back or front. The only routine time a dental implant would not be a recommended form of treatment is to replace wisdom teeth which are not needed in the mouth.

Dental implants at the back of the mouth would be attached to crowns in the same way as front teeth: Dental crowns are attached on the abutment which is attached into the implant (artificial root in the bone). The abutment supports the dental crown which is cemented on permanently.

Dental implants are currently the best solution for missing teeth. Dental implants can replace back teeth as well as front teeth. However, in case of back teeth it is also possible to use dental implants with a prosthetic bridge as an alternative treatment. We recommend to attach crowns on dental implants also on back teeth not only because of aesthetic reasons but also because of keeping a correct occlusion, which is very important for all the teeth.
