Replacing All Teeth With Dental Implants

Wondering if you should choose dental implants because you are tired of dealing with your ongoing dental problems? You do not choose the teeth you were born with, which means you may be dealing with teeth problems your entire life. New dental technologies allow for teeth replacement using dental implants, which essentially means you can have your problem teeth replaced with new teeth.

Why dental implants?

Want to know why dental implants are a popular tooth replacement option patients are choosing? Because no other replacement option offers the benefits that a dental implant does. An implant is surgically inserted into a patient's jawbone, which means it is going to act just like the natural root of a tooth. This root stimulation is important, as it helps the jawbone remain healthy. It is also easier to talk and eat with implants compared to dentures, and when it comes to taking care of implants, they are treated just like natural teeth.

Replacing all teeth with dental implants

The list below includes three options patients can choose from when deciding dental implants are the right choice for them.

Full mouth dental implants

Patients can choose to replace every single one of their teeth with a dental implant. While the process does take some time, those who have undergone this process say it is well worth the time spent having all of their problem teeth replaced with individual implants. Patients who choose this option need to be completely committed to the process, as it can take up to seven months to replace every single tooth using dental implants.

A fixed bridge using dental implants

Another choice requires a patient to have six or eight implants placed in their mouth and then use implant-supported bridges to replace the rest of the missing teeth. Both the implants and the bridges will be custom made for every patient, which helps to ensure that all of the dental work works together as smoothly as possible. It is important for all dental work to be comfortable and fit together in a way that supports proper bite alignment.

Dentures held in place using dental implants

Implant-supported dentures are another option, which has two different choices – bar-retained and ball-retained. This denture choice is often preferred because patients do not have to worry about the dentures slipping around in their mouth or even falling out of their mouth, as they are securely held in place using implants. Fewer implants are required for this choice.
