Dental Implants to Replace All Missing Teeth

Tooth loss changes not only the appearance of a person’s smile, but how the teeth function as well.

Tooth loss changes not only the appearance of a person’s smile, but how the teeth function as well. Depending on the tooth’s location, a single tooth lost can negatively affect the way one smiles, eats, and speaks. The problem is magnified even more if a few or all teeth are lost; in these cases, the missing teeth sufferer may experience a drastic impact on his or her way of life.

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that replace the form and function of lost natural teeth. The implants are attached to teeth restorations such as dental crowns, a dental bridge, or dentures completely restore the proper use and healthy appearance of the missing teeth. Implants also replace the function of lost tooth roots so that the jawbone is continuously stimulated, preventing the onset of further worsening of bone deterioration.

All Teeth Missing Restored with Implants
The loss of all natural teeth will make it very difficult for a person to eat, bite, or chew on food. This type of tooth loss also has a significant effect on the appearance – the lips and cheeks will take on a sunken look, making a person look old and unhealthy. A person with all teeth missing will find it hard to smile or speak confidently, since there are no more teeth to show when the mouth is opened.

A beautiful, healthy-looking smile can be achieved even after the loss of all teeth, with the help of dental implants. A number of dental implants can be placed on the jawbone of a given arch (the lower or the upper arch of teeth), and then attached to a fixed teeth restoration. As the teeth replacements are securely attached to the jawbone through the implants, there will be no worries with regards to teeth restorations (such as removable dentures) that move around uncontrollably inside the mouth.

Conventional dental implants need a healing period to be completed before they can be uncovered again, and connected to permanent teeth restorations. However, modern approaches to dental implant treatments now make it possible for the implants to be attached to the dental restorations within the same day that these implants are placed on the jawbone. These techniques are minimally-invasive, and maximise the existing jawbone structure so there is no further need for more complicated procedures such as a bone graft. The problem of all missing teeth can now quickly be solved with implants and dental restorations that can immediately be used within the same day of the treatment.
