Jenny chiu Is the grammar right? Yes, but you don’t want your own teeth implanted; you want artificial teeth implanted, so say I need dental implants.

Grammartically, It is correct, if you mean you have more than one tooth having been pulled out, but semantically it sounds funny. I would say " I need a dental implant " which may be what you meant..
