Full-Arch Tooth
Placement Options
Are Dentures My Only Option?
For most patients seeking full-arch tooth replacement, dentures are NOT the only option! While dentures do provide a convenient and cost-effective alternative to missing teeth, they are by no means the only option available. Dental implants have paved the way for teeth to be replaced permanently, providing patients who have a failing dentition or a full arch of missing teeth with a more secure and healthy alternative. What does this mean? Significantly improved self-confidence, the ability to eat a virtually unrestricted diet, speaking with clarity, and the assurance of a full arch of stabilized, strong prosthetic teeth. Though dentures are an adequate solution for replacing missing teeth, they cannot compare to the appearance and restored oral function that comes with implant supported dentures!
Implant Supported Dentures
Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that restores nearly 100 percent of the function and beauty of natural teeth. When two or more are used to support a lifelike prosthesis or denture, an entire full arch of teeth can be permanently replaced. Implant supported dentures eliminate many of the disadvantages associated with traditional dentures, such as gum irritation, a loose fit over time, or a restricted diet. Dental implants also work to stimulate the jaw bone, meaning you will not experience loss in your facial structure or aesthetics due to missing teeth and a receding jaw. Just as dentures are only as precise as their creator, so is dental implant placement only as accurate as the doctor performing surgery. With the expertise of a skilled oral surgeon leading treatment, dental implants are placed intentionally at certain angles and positions to best ensure their final functional outcomes and the predictability for long-term support.
