Full Arch Dental Implants Catherine Field

Do you get sick and tired of concealing your smile? Do your dentures make eating difficult? At Smiles Unlimited, we feel that everybody has the right to be proud of his or her smile.

In case you lost most or all of your teeth, Full Arch Dental Implants (also known as the All-on-4 type of implants) may be the life changing solution you need. The full arch implants are firmly fixed into your jawbone, unlike the traditional dentures which are prone to slipping, thereby causing discomfort. This gives you a permanent, non-removable set of teeth that look, feel, and function just like the real thing.

Full arch dental implants are a way to replace a whole row of missing teeth – either the top arch, bottom arch, or both. The procedure involves a small number (usually 4-6) of biocompatible titanium implants, surgically inserted into your jawbone, instead of having an implant positioned on each and every missing tooth. A fixed bridge of prosthetic teeth is then attached securely to these implants.

When they are in place, we fit them with a specially-crafted bridge of gorgeous, quality teeth. Most of our full arch procedures are based on the popular all-on-4 or all-on-X design in which a full arch of teeth is supported on four (or more, again, depending on your case) implants.

You might be a good fit if:

• You’ve lost most or all teeth.
• You want something that stays in place, unlike dentures.
• You want to chew easily, speak clearly, and have a smile that looks real.
• Choose the option which promotes jawbone health and prevents frequent changes of dentures.

Full arch implants do way more than just look good:

• Eat What You Love: Steak, apples, crusty bread – there is nothing out of the menu. Implants have almost 100 percent of your biting strength.
• Look Years Younger: The loss of teeth may make your jawbone recede resulting in a sunken look on your face. The implants are known to stimulate the jawbone and therefore they help in preserving your natural face.
• No More Hassle: Say goodbye to messy adhesives, soaking glasses, and the fear of dentures falling out when you laugh or sneeze.
• Long-lasting: If you take care of them, dental implants can last for years.

When you have lost multiple teeth, or you are terrified of dentures that will slip or require replacement every few months – full arch implants can be a life changing option.
