Full Mouth Implant Reconstruction

Full Mouth Implant Bridge - 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.

An entire mouth can be rebuilt using dental implants to support replacement teeth. The most natural results are achieved when a beautiful porcelain crown and bridge treatment is used in conjunction with precise implant placement. Usually, 6-8 implants on the upper and lower implants are used to support an entire set of porcelain teeth. The teeth are cemented or screwed in and they look and feel just like real teeth. To many, it is a life changing experience.

Implant Denture

Complete dentures are difficult to wear. Implants can be used underneath removable dentures to eliminate many of the problems associated with denture wear. In the upper denture, most people complain about having the palate of their mouth covered, thus, decreasing the ability to feel and taste food. Four implants under the upper denture hold it securely so that the size of the place can be reduced, removing the palate form the denture altogether.

The lower denture is more difficult to wear than the upper (there is no suction to hold it in place). It constantly moves, presses on the gums, and has to be held in by the cheeks and tongue. Just two (preferably 4) implants under a lower denture improve it so much that it makes for some of happiest patients.

The improved ability to chew is one of the biggest benefits patients report. Since the dentures anchor on the implants instead of resting on the gums, they allow patients to bite much harder with no discomfort. Another benefit – no messy adhesives!
