Are you wondering how full-mouth dental implants can transform your smile? At Ponce Dental, we utilize advanced techniques to ensure a successful and comfortable experience. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you understand the process:
What Are Full Mouth Dental Implants?
Full-mouth dental implants, often referred to as All-on-4® or All-on-X, involve replacing an entire arch of teeth using four to six strategically placed implants. This provides a permanent, stable foundation for new teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.
The Implant Procedure
- Consultation and Planning: We start with a detailed examination using advanced imaging to map out your mouth and plan the precise placement of the implants.
- Implant Surgery: The titanium implants are surgically placed into the jawbone. These implants act as artificial roots for your new teeth.
- Osseointegration: Over the next few months, the jawbone grows around the implants, securely anchoring them in place.
- Permanent Teeth Placement: Once osseointegration is complete, custom-made permanent teeth are attached to the implants.
- Follow-Up Care: Regular check-ups ensure the implants remain secure and healthy.
Benefits of Full Mouth Dental Implants
- Stability and Functionality: Unlike traditional dentures, implants provide a stable foundation, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
- Aesthetic Improvement: Implants look and feel like natural teeth.
- Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining facial structure.
- Longevity: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
Candidate Suitability
Full-mouth dental implants are suitable for most patients with significant tooth loss. A thorough consultation will determine your candidacy, considering factors such as bone density and overall health.
Costs and Financing
The cost of full-mouth dental implants varies based on individual needs. At Ponce Dental, we offer detailed cost guides and flexible financing options to make this treatment accessible.
