Full Arch Solutions for Complete Tooth Loss
Losing all teeth in the upper or lower jaw can impact your comfort, confidence, and daily function. Dental implant solutions can provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, helping restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Implant-Supported Solutions for Complete Tooth Loss
While some patients adjust well to traditional upper dentures, lower dentures can often be more challenging due to movement and reduced stability. For patients missing all lower teeth, several implant-supported options are available to improve comfort, function, and confidence.
Improved Stability With Implant Support
This option uses two dental implants placed in the lower jaw to help secure a removable denture. The implants provide better stability during chewing compared to a traditional denture. However, some movement may still occur, and regular adjustments may be needed to maintain comfort and fit.
Enhanced Support With Implant-Retained Dentures
A bar attachment denture uses four to six implants, depending on your jaw structure, that are connected by a custom support bar. The denture attaches securely to the bar using internal clips, creating a more stable solution with less movement than traditional removable dentures.
This implant-supported overdenture can still be removed for easier cleaning and maintenance while providing improved comfort and function.
A Fixed Solution for a More Permanent Feel
A screw-retained denture uses multiple implants to support a permanent replacement for missing teeth. The restoration is secured to the implants and does not rest directly on the gums, allowing for easier cleaning underneath without removing the denture.
This option is designed for patients looking for a more permanent solution, although regular maintenance appointments are still required.
The Closest Option to Natural Teeth
For patients seeking the most natural-looking result, each missing tooth can be replaced with an individual dental implant. This option typically requires multiple implants, separate abutments, and individual crowns to recreate the appearance and function of natural teeth.
Advanced Implant Options for the Upper Jaw
Similar implant-supported solutions are available for patients missing all upper teeth. Because the upper jawbone is generally softer than the lower jaw, additional implants may sometimes be needed to provide adequate support and stability.
Secure Support With Improved Comfort
Depending on the number and placement of implants, an upper denture may be designed without covering the roof of the mouth. This can improve comfort, taste, and the overall feel of the restoration while still allowing for easier cleaning and maintenance.
A Natural-Looking Full Smile Restoration
For patients wanting a non-removable restoration that closely resembles natural teeth, individual upper implants may be placed to support separate crowns. This option provides excellent aesthetics and function but requires careful planning based on your bone structure and treatment needs.
