All-Teeth Missing Dental Implants
We offer All-Teeth Missing implant options to help restore your smile.
Missing all your teeth can have a devastating impact on quality of life. It often makes people older than they actually feel.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Conventional solutions include attaching the dentures to the gum tissue with either a dental adhesive or by holding it in place with a close seal along the border of the denture. The success of the conventional solutions depends largely on the amount of residual gum and bone tissue. The looseness of the dentures can lead to an unbalanced diet and poor digestion. Benefits of dental implants include:
- No more dentures
- Smile with confidence
- Preserve your natural teeth
- Ability to eat and bite without the fear of denture becoming loose or falling out.
For replacement of all teeth we have 2 main options:
1. Removable teeth replacement on implants.
A removable prosthetic secured on two or more implants using mechanical anchors which retain the prosthetic in a very secure way. Another advantage of these is that the denture can be removed for cleaning and no more messy adhesives and the sense of taste on the palate is also preserved. The alternative to the anchors, is by using a bar to support the dentures. This provides added retention and can be removed for cleaning easily.
2. Fixed Implant Supported Bridge.
A fixed prosthesis consists of a dental implant bridge supported by four or more implants. The prosthesis is fixed firmly to the dental implants and the gum remains free. As a result, taste sensation is maintained. Screw retained bridges allow teeth to function without restrictions. This type of bridgework is firmly fixed in place and can only be removed by the dentist.
Restoring your confidence
If bone loss is able to progress, the function of the prosthesis diminishes also. Here dental implants can play huge role and one of the biggest benefits is restored self-esteem. People with securely fitted tooth replacements feel better, look better and enjoy a higher quality of life. There is now the option of getting “teeth in a day” replacing your denture with dental implants being inserted and fixed bridgework placed on the same day, this is known as “all on 4 treatment concept”.
