How Do Full Mouth Dental Implants In Yuba City, CA Restore My Smile?
What is a dental implant, and how does it support your new smile?
A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into your jaw, acting as an artificial tooth root. Full mouth denture implants use multiple implants to secure a full prosthetic arch that replaces all your upper or lower teeth, or both.
Full mouth dental implants are able to replace a full arch of missing teeth because, after any remaining teeth are removed through tooth extractions, four or more dental implants are placed in the patient’s jawbone.
Once these four or more dental implants have become a permanent part of the patient’s jawbone, a full arch prosthesis can be attached and cemented to them, giving patients a beautiful, functional, and healthy new smile.
This solution isn’t only about looks, but it’s about strength. Whole mouth dental implants can withstand everyday chewing, allowing you to enjoy your meals without worry.
Full mouth dental implants give patients a secure and stable new smile because advanced dental technology is used to make sure the dental implants are placed in areas of the patients jawbone where they have enough jawbone density to support them. For those who do not have enough jawbone density to support their full mouth dental implants, they will need to have a bone grafting procedure first.
A bone grafting procedure uses bone graft material to restore the jawbone’s density and volume so that it is a stable and predictable foundation for full mouth dental implants to be placed in.
This step is especially helpful for patients who have experienced bone loss due to missing teeth, periodontal disease, or wearing dentures for many years. When it comes to these cases, rebuilding the jawbone allows for stronger support, reduces your risk of implant failure, and improves your long-term treatment outcomes.
It is the dental implant posts, in a full mouth dental implant procedure, that are made to act like natural teeth. When the full arch prosthesis is attached to the dental implants, patients will be able to eat the foods they love, speak properly, and smile with ease because full mouth dental implants restore 99% of a patient’s dental functionality.
What Other Types Of Dental Implants Can I Replace My Missing Teeth With?
Depending on the number of teeth people are missing, and the number of dental implants they will need to restore their smile, there are various types of dental implant options people can replace their missing teeth with besides full mouth dental implants In Yuba City, CA.
Some patients might only need to replace one or two teeth, while others are exploring other solutions like full dental implants or even hybrid options that combine implants with removable prosthetics. What’s best for you depends on your oral health, jawbone density, and your long-term goals.
The following are the specific types of dental implants people can get treated with:
Single Dental Implants
A single dental implant is one dental implant that can replace one missing tooth. After the dental implant post has been placed in the patient’s jawbone, and the abutment has been placed on it, the tooth crown can be attached and cemented to the abutment. With single dental implants, patients will have a better-looking smile that lets them eat and speak properly.
Implant Supported Dentures
For those who have missing teeth, or are tired of wearing traditional dentures, they should replace their missing teeth with implant supported dentures. Unlike traditional dentures, implant supported dentures give patients a stable and comfortable new smile. This is because two or more dental implants are used to stabilize a denture in an implant-supported denture procedure.
