A complete smile, anchored for good
If you have slipping dentures and are tired of being self-conscious about the thought of losing them at an inopportune moment, a full arch implant might be the solution for you. Dental implants can be placed to accept a full arch of teeth. This is done by strategically placing implants along the upper or lower jaw and attaching the new teeth over abutments on the implant posts.
Once placed, a full arch using implants will feel and perform like natural teeth. You will be able to chew with confidence and never have to worry again about losing your dentures.
For patients missing all of their upper or lower teeth, multiple implants placed strategically throughout the mouth can allow for a complete, non-removable, and esthetic replacement option. The implants and attached teeth can often be accomplished the same day with a single surgical visit.
Fixed or removable: the choice is yours
Both options anchor to implants. The difference is whether your new teeth stay in permanently or snap on and off for cleaning.
Why implants instead of dentures alone?
When all the natural teeth are missing, there is nothing left in the jawbone to stimulate bone growth. The body senses that the jawbone is no longer necessary and begins to dissolve it away. After about ten years, it often becomes difficult to wear a denture at all because there is little bone left to support it.
Implant-supported teeth change that equation. Because the implants function like tooth roots, they keep the jawbone stimulated and healthy, preserving your facial structure along with your smile.
