To restore a full arch, you do not need to replace each tooth individually to benefit from dental implants. Instead, a custom-made arch is developed that is similar to that of a conventional denture. However, instead of using a denture adhesive to hold it in place, it is anchored to the jawbone using four dental implant posts.
Two straight anterior implants and two that are tilted at a 45-degree angle in the posterior are surgically placed into the jawbone. The jawbone will fuse to the biocompatible material to create a secure and sturdy foundation for the denture.
The implant-supported dentures offer a wide range of benefits that are not possible with traditional dentures. In addition to being permanent, they allow you to improve your oral functions to make everyday tasks like eating easier. In fact, when compared to traditional dentures, they offer an increased biting force of over 70%.
The greatest benefit is that they stop the bone loss that is attributed to missing teeth. By surgically inserting the posts, they stimulate the jawbone to preserve bone density. This not only restores your oral health but also protects your facial structures.
With this option, you will enjoy a convenient solution. You do not have to worry about special cleaning solutions, messy adhesives, or slipping. The dentures are securely held in place so you can eat and speak with confidence.
The dental implant posts will last a lifetime with the right oral hygiene habits; however, the denture will likely need to be replaced over time as the teeth will wear down from daily use. You will also need to see your dentist regularly for a cleaning and checkup to ensure they continue to function as intended. Overall, they allow you to make a true investment in your smile and are more cost-effective than traditional options.
You will save time and money by not needing special cleaning solutions or new prosthetics made every few years.
