What Are Full Mouth Dental Implants?
Full mouth dental implants involve replacing all missing teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw with a series of implants. This method, often known as All-on-4® or All-on-X, uses four strategically placed implants to support a full set of new teeth, providing a permanent and stable solution for significant tooth loss.
Why Choose Full Mouth Dental Implants?
- Restore Functionality: Eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Implants look and feel like natural teeth.
- Bone Preservation: Prevents further bone loss and maintains facial structure.
- Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
Types of Full Mouth Dental Implants
- All-on-4® or All-on-X Implants: Uses four or more implants per arch.
- Zygomatic Implants: For patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw, these implants are anchored into the cheekbones.
- Implant-Supported Bridges and Dentures: Alternative options for those who may not qualify for full arch implants.
The Procedure
- Consultation and Planning: A thorough examination with advanced imaging to plan implant placement.
- Implant Surgery: Implants are placed in the jawbone, followed by a healing period where the bone integrates with the implants.
- Permanent Teeth Placement: Custom-made teeth are securely attached to the implants.
- Aftercare and Maintenance: Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene ensure the longevity of your implants.
