Full Mouth Dental Implants

What are the advantages of implant- supported full bridges and implant-supported dentures over conventional dentures?

Dental implant provides several advantages over other tooth replacement options. In addition to looking and functioning like natural teeth, implant-supported full bridges or dentures are designed to be long lasting. Implant-supported full bridges and dentures also are more comfortable and stable than conventional dentures, allowing you to retain a more natural biting and chewing capacity.

In addition, because implant-supported full bridges and dentures will replace some of your tooth roots, your bone is better preserved. With conventional dentures, the bone that previously surrounded the tooth roots begins to resorb (deteriorate).  Dental implants integrate with your jawbone, helping to keep the bone healthy and intact.

In the long-term, implants can be more ethic and easier to maintain than conventional dentures. The loss of bone that accompanies conventional dentures leads to recession of the jawbone and a collapsed, unattractive smile. Conventional dentures make it difficult to eat certain foods.
