After total tooth loss, patients often turn to traditional dentures. These restorations rest against your jawbone, allowing you to function and chew normally! However, traditional dentures tend to loosen over time. An ill-fitting prosthetic can be even more troublesome than missing teeth, as the patient’s quality of life may significantly lower. Fortunately, with full mouth dental implants, we stabilize your denture and restore your ability to function! These full-mouth restorations replace your missing teeth with a strong, stable smile that stays securely in place. Using dental implants for support, these restorations can improve your quality of life!
What Are Full Mouth Dental Implants?
A full mouth of dental implants is exactly what it sounds like!
Implantes dentales are titanium screws that we place in your jawbone. By placing these implants around your jaw, we create a strong foundation for a denture restoration to rely on.
While traditional dentures simply rest on your jawbone, prótesis sobre implantes are anchored in place. Dental implants are made of strong and durable titanium that actually integrates with your bone over time. Once these implants secure to your jaw, they provide a stable foundation that we use to support dentures!
Typically, Fine Dental Care uses miniimplantes dentales. These smaller titanium posts are just as strong as their conventional counterparts, but without all the hassle. Thanks to their simpler design and placement, we can anchor more of these implants in your jaw for a strong, reliable foundation.
Our Full Mouth Dental Implant Options
Fine Dental Care in Wayne, NJ, offers several full mouth dental implant-supported restoration options. And thanks to the extra support of dental implants, all of these dentures are much sleeker and more secure than traditional dentures.
A full mouth of dental implants can support:
Snap-in Overdentures
When patients want a removable restoration that stays secure, we usually recommend a snap-in denture, or overdenture. Similar to a traditional denture, this prosthetic has a gum base that matches your natural gum color. However, instead of relying on your jawbone, a snap-in denture is stabilized with 4 to 8 mini implants!
With these strategically placed implants, we provide stable anchors that your denture can “snap” on and off. We recommend removing the denture after eating to wash it off and at night to give your gums a rest.
Semi-removable Roundhouse Bridges
For patients who want a sleeker denture that they don’t need to remove, we may use a roundhouse bridge.
A roundhouse bridge resembles a row of natural teeth, bonded together to form an arch. While the arch may be supported by artificial gums, it doesn’t require the same bulky denture base as a snap-in denture. Instead, a semi-removable roundhouse bridge relies on 6 to 10 mini implants that we place around your mouth. And while you never have to remove this denture, we will during routine dental visits for maintenance.
Non-removable Roundhouse Bridges
When patients desire a restoration that looks and functions just like natural teeth, we use non-removable roundhouse bridges. Like a semi-removable roundhouse bridge, this restoration has a sleek design that looks natural in your mouth. Additionally, in many cases, non-removable restorations don’t need any gum base at all, as they’re cemented in place on 10 to 12 mini dental implants.
Once we secure your denture to a full mouth of dental implants, it never comes out. You will use your artificial smile as you please, chewing and functioning without worry. And to clean your smile, simply treat them like your natural teeth! While a non-removable roundhouse bridge is the most expensive service we offer, many patients find it worth the expense to have what feels like natural teeth back.
The Benefits of a Stable Smile
Why choose full mouth dental implants? At Fine Dental Care, we believe that these implant restorations are the best solution to tooth loss, providing the best quality of life. Implant dentures help patients like you:
- Chew better: To break down food, your bite needs a certain amount of force behind it. Loose dentures struggle to chew food, but implant dentures allow you to bite without issue.
- Speak clearly: Loose or floating dentures may cause your speech to slur or your denture to shift while you talk. Full mouth dental implants keep your denture secure, allowing you to speak clearly.
- Stop bone loss: Your jawbone will deteriorate over time after tooth loss, as you’ve lost the stimulating roots of your teeth. Dental implants embed in your jawbone and replace missing tooth roots, stopping bone loss in its tracks.
- Smile confidently: Patients with loose dentures often struggle to smile confidently because they’re embarrassed by their shifting teeth or afraid their prosthetic will fall out. But with implant dentures, you can engage socially and smile confidently without worrying that your dentures are going anywhere.
