In today’s blog, we are going to discuss what full mouth dental implants are and how they can help you enjoy a beautiful smile again.
What Are Full Mouth Dental Implants?
Full mouth dental implants are a long-term solution to the problem of if you have lost or are losing most or all of your teeth. Dental implants are more permanent than dentures, which can be removable and sometimes a little painful, because the implant is placed in your jaw which allows for it to behave much like a normal tooth would. These implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone where they fuse with the bone made a strong foundation crowns, bridges or implant-supported dentures.
Key Components:
- Implant Posts: Surgical steel screws that replace natural tooth roots.
- Abutments: Attachments that hold crowns or bridges onto the implants.
- Dental Prosthesis: Crowns, bridges or full-arch dentures that are made to restore aesthetics and function.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Full Mouth Dental Implants?
People who suffers from full mouth dental implants is perfect for:
- Multiple missing teeth
- Severe tooth decay or damage
- Advanced periodontal (gum) disease
- Bone loss in the jaw (with options for bone grafting)
When you visit DRGO Smile we will do a full dental examination to determine whether full mouth implants are right for you. It starts with preparation of an oral examination, 3D imaging and a talk about the patient’s expectations and lifestyle.
Benefits of Full Mouth Dental Implants
There are many advantages to choosing full mouth dental implants over traditional dentistry:
1. Natural Appearance and Function
With dental implants you cannot only enjoy your food, but have high esthetics and function just like natural teeth. They enable you to eat, speak and smile more comfortably compared to traditional dentures that may slip or feel loose.
2. Bone Preservation
Jawbone loss can take place in case of missing teeth. The bone is stimulated by the implants and can be maintained in order to enable patients to avoid facial droop, which is the most common reason behind people needing a facelift after they have had their teeth replaced.
3. Durability and Longevity
Given sufficient care, full mouth dental implants can last you decades, providing great value over time.
4. Improved Oral Health
Implants do not need your adjacent teeth to be modified like a classic bridge to keep intact those natural teeth.
5. Enhanced Comfort
Implants cure all the problems previously associated with loose, artificial teeth and ill-fitting dentures.
