Dental problems can make life miserable, with constant discomfort, problems with chewing and difficulty with clear speech. Full-mouth dental implants can give you secure teeth that hold up to normal chewing, speaking, laughing and singing, so you can forget about your denture and enjoy activities. A trained experienced dentist can fit patients with full-mouth dental implants that offer comfortable eating and speaking throughout the day.
Understanding Full Mouth Dental Implants
Full-mouth dental implants allow your denture to be held securely in place with metal screws that are implanted into the gum and jaw. The implant screws ensure that your denture does not shift, so you can eat more comfortably and speak more clearly. The implant screws also help to stabilize the bone in your jaw, so you have less recession of gums and destabilization of the denture.
The Dental Implant Process
Your dentist will first do a thorough examination and assessment to determine if your gums are healthy enough to hold the dental implants and if you have enough bone to hold the implants. Once the preliminary examinations are completed, the dentist will create openings in the gum and bone to set the implants that will hold the denture. Either temporary teeth or caps will be put on top of the implant while it heals, which takes from two to six months. After the healing period, the dentist will create a mold for the denture that will fit your mouth properly. The denture will then be attached to the dental implants, and you can enjoy a comfortable, stable denture.
People who have struggled with dental problems and poorly fitting dentures for many years can enjoy new comfort and security with full-mouth dental implants.
