Replacing All of Your Teeth
If you are missing all of your
teeth, an implant-supported full
bridge or full denture can replace
them. Dental implants will replace
both your lost natural teeth and
some of the roots.
What are the advantages of implant-supported full bridges and implant- supported dentures over conventional dentures?
Dental implants provide several advantages over other teeth replacement options. In addition to looking and functioning like natural teeth, implant-supported full bridges or dentures are designed to be long-lasting. Implant-supported full bridges and dentures will replace some of your tooth roots and preserve your bone. With conventional dentures, the bone that previously surrounded the tooth roots begins to resorb (deteriorate). Dental implants integrate with your jawbone, helping to keep the bone healthy and intact.
In the long-term, implants can be more esthetic and easier to maintain than conventional dentures. The loss of bone that accompanies conventional dentures leads to the recession of the jawbone and a collapsed, unattractive smile. Conventional dentures make it difficult to eat certain foods.
Steps:
Planning: The first step in the treatment sequence is careful planning, which begins with a thorough examination of your individual oral situation. Through X-rays and models of your mouth, Drs. Hakimi/Ahmad will determine the most suitable treatment plan for your situation.
Implant Replacement: The next step is placing the implants in the jaw. This procedure is usually performed in the dental offi ce under local anesthesia. Once the implants are placed, they are left to heal. Healthy bone can form a strong bond with the implants in approximately three to six months.
Replacement Teeth: When the healing period is complete, the implants provide a solid foundation for attaching your replacement teeth by your dentist. With techniques that ensure optimal size, shape, color, and fit, your replacement teeth should blend with your remaining smile.
