When are Full Mouth Implants Used?

Dental implants can be used individually or in groups to suit different patients. When patients have lost most or all of their teeth, they can visit our Los Angeles dental implants doctor for full mouth dental implants. As an alternative to dentures, implants offer permanent stability and a more natural-looking result.

 

 

When Does Our Dentist Use Full Mouth Implants?

 

Our dentist is likely to recommend full mouth implants to patients who have already lost most or all of their teeth and are interested in replacing them. Because full mouth implants prevent jaw bone loss that can occur when replacement is done with traditional dentures, our dentist may also recommend them to patients who are interested in maintaining their looks for longer.

 

 

How Does Our Dentist Place Full Mouth Implants?

 

Our dentist places the implants in the jaw bone during an initial surgery before waiting for them to heal. At a later appointment, our dentist tops the implants with crowns or removable dentures according to treatment goals. 

 

Full mouth dental implants offer permanence in contrast to removable dentures and require no adjacent teeth for support as bridge-supported crowns do.
