Benefits of Full Mouth Implants

Author: Henry M Cook

The loss of all natural teeth brings about drastic changes in one’s life. A few teeth lost can dramatically change the way a person looks, and even affects the way that person speaks. Even the simplest tasks such as smiling or eating can become very difficult to manage with multiple tooth loss. The problem is magnified even further when all of the teeth are lost. The appearance of the patient becomes instantly older, and it will be almost impossible to speak clearly without the benefit of even a few teeth remaining inside the mouth. The patient will certainly have a difficult time managing mealtimes when there are no teeth remaining. A full mouth implants treatment is used to effectively resolve the problem of all teeth missing, to restore the normal function and form of the smile.

Full mouth implants are used to bring back the healthy use and appearance of a smile after all the natural teeth are lost. The treatment uses a number of implants on each affected jaw, with the implants placed on an angle to maximise the existing jawbone quality. The angled feature makes it possible for the treatment to be carried out without the need for complicated procedures such as sinus grafting or bone grafting, especially in cases when the patient’s jawbone has thinned and gone through bone deterioration. Full mouth implants are also used to loose dentures which have become ill-fitting with years of use. With this implant treatment, patients can put an end to suffering from pain and embarrassment because of dentures that have become loose.

Full mouth implants fully restore the normal appearance and function of the smile within the same day that they are placed into the jawbone. The implants are attached to the teeth replacements in the same as well, so there is no need to wait for a long period of time to solve a toothless condition. The patient can go to the dental clinic in the morning for the implants placement, and go home later in the day with a healthy, beautiful smile. There is also no waiting time that needs to be completed for the implants to integrate with surrounding tissue. The implants are fully functional within the same day they are loaded, enabling the patient to use the artificial teeth to speak clearly, and eat normally without any difficulties. The treatment is considered to be a cost-effective solution to missing teeth problems, since the need for more complicated and costlier procedures such as bone grafting is eliminated.
