COMPLETE TEETH REPLACEMENT

Dental implants can return your mouth to its normal function. There are two main approaches for complete tooth replacement with dental implants in this scenario:

Complete teeth replacement with dental implants Complete teeth replacement with dental implants has become a popular and effective solution for individuals facing the challenges of tooth loss. Dental implants offer a long-lasting and natural-looking alternative to traditional dentures and bridges. These dental implants serve as a stable foundation for the attachment of prosthetic teeth, providing a natural-looking and functional replacement for missing teeth.
Various types of dental implants are available for full tooth replacement: Endosteal Implants: These are the most frequently used dental implants and are inserted directly into the jawbone. After the implants fuse with the bone, abutments are attached to link the prosthetic teeth. Subperiosteal Implants: For situations where there is inadequate bone height, subperiosteal implants might be suggested. These implants are positioned on top of the jawbone but beneath the gum tissue, and are held in place with metal frameworks that extend through the gums to support the prosthetic teeth.
All-on-4/5 Implants : This approach is recommended for patients with limited bone in the rear part of the jaw. It involves placing four dental implants in carefully chosen positions within the jaw. This typically includes 2-3 straight implants from Nobel Biocare, Sweden, in the front of the jaw, and 2 angled implants from Nobel Biocare, Sweden, in the back region. A prosthesis with 12-14 teeth is then attached to these implants to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. The All-on-4 or All-on-4 Plus technique is recognized for its effectiveness and the ability to provide a stable restoration using fewer implants than traditional methods.
Zygomatic Implants : For cases of severe bone loss in the upper jaw (atrophic maxilla), zygomatic implants are an option. These implants are anchored into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone) instead of the jawbone, offering a practical solution for individuals with extensive bone resorption.
Replacing missing teeth with dental implants provides a range of advantages, such as enhanced chewing function, clearer speech, and better aesthetics, making it a popular option for those seeking a long-lasting and natural-looking solution. Furthermore, dental implants help preserve bone density and prevent further bone loss. The choice of implant type varies based on factors like the patient's oral health, bone structure, and specific treatment objectives. It is essential for anyone considering this procedure to consult with a skilled implantologist or implant dentist to identify the best solution for their individual needs.
