Full Arch Implants: A More Permanent Solution
What are full-arch implants? For people with a full arch of missing teeth, a dentist (often in parallel with an oral surgeon) will implant several titanium posts directly into your jawbone in strategic locations. After surgery, your implants will fuse with your bone during the healing process. This creates a firm root foundation for your new, custom restoration, which is placed on top of the implants by your dentist.
Traditional dentures, as you may know, are removable, sit on top of your gums, and require adhesive cream to stay in place. Full-arch implants, on the other hand, are anchored in the bone. They are stable, long-term solutions for missing teeth that function like natural teeth.
The 5 Benefits of Full Arch Implants
Full-arch implants offer five distinct advantages over traditional dentures:
Normal chewing ability. If you’ve lost teeth or are used to wearing traditional dentures, you might be accustomed to being very picky about what you eat, always on the lookout for food you might struggle to bite into. With full-arch implants, you can eat what you want.
No more slipping or sore spots. Implants offer rock-solid stability. You won’t have to worry about them moving around while you’re talking or eating, nor will you have to deal with sore spots from dentures that irritate your gums.
Preserve your jawbone health and facial structure. Implants stimulate your jawbone like natural teeth, preventing bone loss that can occur with missing teeth. Dentures sit on top of the gums and don’t provide the same effect. Bone loss can change your facial structure and lead to a prematurely aged look.
A confidence boost that lasts. Full-arch implants look and feel natural, so you aren’t thinking about your teeth or whether they’ll move around. You’ll eat and talk with confidence, never worrying about your teeth functioning properly.
A simple, long-term investment. Implants can last for decades with the proper care. Although they have a higher upfront cost, you won’t have to continue replacing them like you would with dentures, so they give you better value over time. You also don’t have to deal with adhesives, adjustments, or replacements.
