Full Jaw Dental Implants
Full Jaw Dental Implants Explained
This treatment gives you back fixed teeth fixed securely to implants which do not move at all, allow you to chew all foods and are not taken out for cleaning. They are fixed in place just like your own teeth were.
The procedure usually involves placing 4 - 6 implants per jaw and the connecting the implants together. This option is the best available as it is the closest you can get to replacing your missing teeth. The final teeth themselves can either be made of either porcelain or composite. Your implant dentist will discuss with you which might be the best option in your individual case. We only use the world's best dental implant types. Nobel Biocare or Biohorizons dental implants have the longest-term data of over 3020-30 year now.
Not like Dentures
Unlike a denture, they are firmly attached to the implants, so there are no denture sore spots. They are cleaned in the mouth just like your own teeth. It is the most successful and longest lasting of all the options available. This will allow you to maintain the bone of the jaws also and so reduce the risk of any facial profile changes.
These teeth can be made to look very natural just like your own teeth and can be made to any colour you like.
Teeth in a Day?
Sometimes this procedure can even be done in a single day. Although this is not possible for all people; talk to us to see if might be an option for you.
