Dental hygiene tips for healthy teeth & gums

Can I have all my teeth pulled and get implants?

It could be scary for someone to lose all their teeth. Looking at the benefits of dental implants, they believe in replacing their upper and lower teeth with dental implants. So, is it possible to replace all teeth with dental implants? The answer is yes! For that full arch dental is the most popular option. Compared to removable dentures, implants get secured in the jaw for a long time and replace the missing teeth like natural ones. On the other side, traditional dental implants replace a single tooth while full arch implants can replace the entire row of teeth.

Is everyone suitable for full arch dental implants?
The answer is no. Your dentist will decide and explain all the possible risks involved during your primary consultation. Therefore, at that time you can decide, this procedure is right for you or not. Before suggesting dental implants, your dental expert will assess your teeth and jaws to see if you are the right candidate for the implants or not. Your gums and overall oral health should be in a good state for the dental implants process.

About the arch implants
Full arch implants do not require too many visits, even the procedure gets completed in two visits. Firstly, the dentists will check the condition of the jaw and then check the location of implants. If any tooth is present in the jaw then that tooth needs to be removed before the set of dental implants is placed. This procedure is performed by using local anesthesia. Then the dentist will surgically fit the implants. Afterward, the mouth will be cleaned completely and the impression will be taken out to form a dental bridge. These implants are made in such a way that they look as you naturally have them.

If you are considering full arch dental implants then consult your dental care expert now.
