Full Mouth Implants
Full Mouth Implants
For some patients, their dental health gets so bad as to require the removal of most if not all of their teeth. In the past, this meant their only option was to have a denture. However, with the invention and success of dental implants, replacing teeth with a fixed bridge is now a solution.
Going by a number of names such as All on X and other variations, implant supported bridges are a great solution to give you teeth that you don’t need to remove at night.
At Dental Serenity, we recommend full arch Davis Bridges, which are zirconia teeth connected to a titanium supporting bar.
This gives maximum strength and longevity to the final prosthesis. The bridge is connected to a number of implants which can be a minimum of 4 to as many as 8. Ideally, more implants will give you more strength, and future protection should an implant have complications.
To provide this treatment we will need to scan your mouth with our in-house CBCT x-ray machine and 3D scanner. Then we will plan your case and work out how many implants can be placed, and how the final teeth will look.
Surgery to place the implants will be performed, and ideally a provisional bridge placed the same day. Sometimes it isn’t possible to load implants immediately, so patients should be prepared for the potential to have to wear a denture whilst implants osseointegrate. Although same-day fixed teeth is a goal, it is sometimes not possible due to bone quality, or implants being inserted with low torque. We prefer to under promise and over deliver here at Dental Serenity.
