Complete mouth implants New York are an excellent way to replace a full arch of missing teeth. They are much more comfortable and functional than traditional dentures and they look completely natural!
Implants are anchored in your jaw bone and provide the stimulation needed for natural bone growth. Over time, they help preserve your bone and reduce bone resorption.
Full Arch Replacement
If you’ve lost all of your teeth in the upper or lower jaw, full arch implant restorations can provide a permanent solution to replace an entire row of teeth. With a minimum of four implants, this procedure offers an affordable solution that looks and feels natural.
In addition to being less expensive than traditional implant treatments, this procedure uses fewer rods and is easier on the body. It also provides a more stable, longer-lasting solution than removable dentures.
Moreover, dental implants stimulate bone growth in the area of missing teeth. This helps to prevent the sunken look that often occurs with bone loss in the jaw.
The full-arch replacement procedure uses four specialized dental implants and a custom fixed prosthesis to replace the entire arch of teeth. This treatment can be completed in a single day and is an ideal choice for those who are missing all of their teeth or who need to have teeth extracted along the full arch.
Single Tooth Replacement
Whether you’ve lost a single tooth due to injury, gum disease, severe tooth decay or a genetic condition, dental implants can replace it. These replacement teeth look and feel just like your natural teeth, and they are extremely secure and stable.
Unlike bridges, which trap food particles and are difficult to clean, dental implants are virtually maintenance-free. They can even help maintain the health of your jawbone.
To start, your dentist will surgically implant a titanium screw into the bone. The jawbone grows around the screw to form a sturdy foundation for the crown.
Then, a tiny connector called an abutment is placed on top of the implant. When the gum tissue has fully healed, a crown (false tooth) is attached to the abutment.
The entire process usually takes several months, with healing time between each surgical procedure. It can be complicated, but the long-term benefits make it well worth the investment. Talk to your dentist about your options today!
Implant Supported Bridges
A bridge is a dental restoration used to fill the gap left by a missing tooth. In traditional bridges, natural teeth on either side of the empty space are shaved down to prepare them for crowns that support the artificial teeth in the bridge.
Implant-supported bridges use implants that are inserted into the jawbone to secure the prosthesis. This allows them to feel, look and function more like a natural tooth than traditional bridges.
They are a permanent solution that can last a lifetime with proper care. They also help to prevent bone resorption in the jaw that occurs when missing teeth are not replaced.
During surgery, titanium rods are placed into the jawbone to act as the artificial tooth roots. This helps to protect the jawbone from resorption and stimulates bone growth to improve functional stability of the restoration.
Implant Supported Dentures
Complete mouth implants New York are a great option for patients who wish to improve their oral health, function and appearance. They are also a good choice for patients who wish to replace their traditional dentures.
Compared to traditional dentures, implant supported dentures are more secure and comfortable. They also do not require removal and soaking like traditional dentures do, making them more convenient for everyday use.
When a patient chooses to have implants placed in their jaw, we will create a temporary denture for them to use until they are ready to receive their final restoration. This temporary denture will help them determine the best position for the permanent denture.
There are two basic types of implant-supported dentures: bar-retained and ball-retained. The former uses a metal bar that attaches to the implants in your jawbone, while the latter has a ball-shaped attachment on each implant.
