Have You Heard About a New Way to Replace an Entire Row of Teeth?

Posted by Jason Mittel on October 10th, 2019

A complete set of dental implants is one of the ways to replace all missing teeth on the upper row, lower row, or both. But at Farber Centers in Long Island, NY, there are other methods available as well. For example, when it comes to permanent dentures All-on-4 implant-supported bridges are a cost-effective option. It is more affordable and also has many of the benefits of dental implants. It is made possible by an innovative procedure that can give you back a radiant smile and your self-confidence. Now you can replace an entire row of missing or damaged teeth with a small number of implants. It is a full-arch restoration technique utilizing a particular type of denture that is held in place firmly by the implants. An implant-supported denture is more comfortable and secure than traditional removable dentures, and patients again have a firm bite and eat anything they please. Because fewer implants are required for this procedure, recovery is almost always faster than with individual implants. Another essential benefit is the preservation of jawbone density. When teeth are pulled and sockets left open, a natural process known as bone resorption occurs. It means the body takes back the minerals that formed the bone in the affected area. Dental implants fuse to the jawbone as they heal and therefore help to preserve bone and slow or prevent resorption.

Patients also like the fact that with an implant-supported denture, a temporary row of teeth is placed on the same day as your implants. It means there is never a time when you need to spear in front of other people without teeth. But very soon after that, you'll have the freedom to eat anything you choose. Just as you do with natural teeth, you care for an implant-supported denture by brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily. You'll continue to schedule regular dental check-ups and cleanings to make sure your tooth restoration and overall oral health are maintained. Your new teeth will last for many years – and possibly even a lifetime when cared for properly. In the event a new row of teeth is ever needed, it is likely the implants themselves will remain in place. Only the attached permanent denture will be replaced. Therefore, the implant surgery itself is a one-time occurrence for nearly all patients. Having a beautiful and radiant smile will always be yours, and you'll have the confidence to eat and bit into any foods you choose.

In terms of cost, an implant-supported denture can bring significant savings compared to individual implants. Prices vary by individual depending on your treatment plan. But the essential consideration always needs to be quality of life and what is best for each person depending on their lifestyle and needs. Holistic dentists also recommend implant treatments because they contribute to better oral health and whole-body health. Multiple studies indicate, and more are underway, that healthy gums and teeth are closely connected to other major systems in the body. There is also your self-esteem and self-confidence. Having a beautiful smile and being able to eat anything you want is valuable to the quality of life. Also, if you're someone who has traditional dentures that slip or are uncomfortable, stepping up to a solution that includes implants can be a significant quality of life improvement. Preserving your jawbone and maintaining your oral health always is essential, and when you can enjoy multiple benefits with a single procedure, its value to you as a patient increases exponentially. If you are interested in the opinions of others, nearly everyone who has an implant-supported denture is pleased and glad to have had the procedure.
