Single implants can be used to replace multiple missing teeth. They function and feel just like any normal tooth. You brush and floss them like any other tooth.
If you're missing a lot of teeth, or many of your teeth are diseased you may need a full replacement option.
Full Arch of Missing Teeth
Tooth loss leads to bone loss and creates premature aging. It is particularly dramatic when someone loses a full arch of teeth.
Typically 4-6 implants can be placed in an arch of missing teeth. These implants will become the fondation for a fixed prosthesis to replace all the missing teeth.
A fixed prosthesis is an excellent replacement option if you're missing a full arch of teeth or currently use a denture. The fixed prosthesis stays in and is not removable like a denture.
Dentures and Dental Implants
Dental implants can stabalize your dentures and free you from the floppy poor fitting feeling. The dentures are linked to the implants and can be snapped in and out of the mouth. The dentures will still be removable, but will very stable.
If you are missing teeth or have a loose or ill-fitting denture, implants may be the ideal solution for you. Contact us today for a complimentary consultation!
