Did you know that missing teeth can affect more than your willingness to take pictures or go out with friends? It’s true; when you have gaps in your smile, you could be unable to eat your favourite foods or speak properly, and this can be detrimental in professional and social settings.
Fortunately, if you need a full upper or lower arch, you may have options other than traditional dentures, and more patients than ever are choosing full-arch implants.
Let’s explore the benefits of full-arch implants over traditional dentures.
What Are Full-Arch Implants?
With our All-on-4® treatment concept, we can surgically place four dental implants into your jawbone and later attach a full set of prosthetic teeth to these implants, giving you the stability and functionality of implants without the need for a single implant for every tooth.
Our dental team uses the latest technology to keep you comfortable and safe during your procedure, and we offer general anaesthetic options as well.
Why Choose Full-Arch Implants?
Instead of traditional dentures that can slip and move in your mouth, full-arch implants can potentially benefit your smile in the following ways:
- Fewer implants — Instead of a single implant for each missing tooth, we can place four implants to support an entire arch of prosthetic teeth.
- Easy maintenance — Caring for your new smile is similar to caring for your natural teeth. You’ll just need to brush, floss and make regular visits to our dental clinic.
- Suitability — In many cases, full-arch implants will work in either your upper or lower jaw.
- Stability — Your new teeth will be secure and won’t move when you eat or speak. You’ll be able to bite down and chew with ease.
- Appearance — We’ll be sure to choose the appropriate shape and shade for your new prosthetic teeth; that way, they look and feel completely natural.
