A Lifelong Solution to Missing Teeth
"I Couldn’t Eat Properly, Dental Implants Offered Me The Permanent Solution That I Needed."
Dental Implants: A Superior Option to Dentures
For generations, the only real solution to missing or damaged teeth was dentures. While effective under certain circumstances, dentures are far from an optimal solution when it comes to missing tooth replacement. Dentures are essentially glued to the top of the gums using strong dental adhesive; over time, this adhesive bond weakens and, in many instances, fails altogether. While dentures are a comparatively inexpensive option up front, they often end up costing patients thousands of dollars in the long run due to repair and replacement costs.
Traditional removable dentures also must be taken out every night and sanitized, and in many instances, they are bulky and uncomfortable in the mouth and aesthetically do not have the beauty or appeal of natural teeth. More importantly, dentures will often produce friction and inflammation on the gums due to slight movement and shifting over time. This can lead to painful inflammation and can even accelerate bone deterioration in the jaw, which can have major long-term oral health consequences.
Lasting Oral Health Benefits of Full Mouth Dental Implants
Compared to dentures, full mouth dental implants are a far superior option when it comes to replacing a full arch of missing teeth or even one or two missing teeth. The implant dentist first installs a titanium post (the implant) into the maxillary (jawbone). Over time, the implant will permanently fuse with the jaw to provide a stable fixed anchor that will support the replacement tooth or teeth. In the event a patient is missing multiple teeth, an entire arch of restoration teeth will be designed and fabricated by our acclaimed implant specialist, Dr. Abdullah Alkanan. The restoration arch will then be permanently attached to four or six implant posts providing the patient with a stunning new smile that looks, feels, and functions naturally.
In addition to providing patients with a brand-new smile they’ll be proud to show off, full mouth dental implants offer numerous long-term oral health benefits. Unlike dentures which accelerate jawbone loss, implants provide rigid support for the maxilla and can stop and reverse bone deterioration. Since full mouth dental implants are fixed in place, they also produce zero friction on the gums and will never move or shift over time. The result is a gorgeous, stunning new smile and a brand-new set of restoration teeth that will provide a lifetime of durable day-to-day use.
