Get Back All 32 Teeth With Dental Implants Do you know how many teeth you have in your mouth? Maybe you haven’t gotten your third molars, or “wisdom teeth,” yet. Or, maybe you lost a tooth or two for whatever reason. No matter what your personal story is, the average adult mouth contains 32 permanent teeth. It breaks down to 8 different types of teeth with a pair on the top and a pair on the bottom. Most adults should have the following:

  • Third Molars (Wisdom Teeth)
  • Second Molars
  • First Molars
  • Second Bicuspids
  • First Bicuspids
  • Cuspids (Canine or Eye Teeth)
  • Lateral Incisors
  • Central Incisors

Each tooth has a function in your mouth to help you when it comes to chewing your food. The incisors are used to bite and cut through the food while the cuspids are used for tearing. When it comes to grinding and chewing the food, the premolars, molars, and wisdom teeth get in on the action. All 32 work together to keep things running smoothly in your mouth.

When You Lose A Tooth

Unfortunately, we don’t always get through life with all of our adult teeth intact. Losing just one tooth can throw your whole dental-system into chaos. The remaining teeth have to work overtime to compensate for what you no longer have. And depending on where the missing tooth is located, your other teeth can become susceptible to damage, which can lead to even more dental trouble.

While many adults don’t need their wisdom teeth and often get them removed, the rest of the teeth are very important for functioning. When you’re missing a tooth, it’s important that you see your dentist to discover your options for getting a replacement. That’s where dental implants can be a big help.
