Living with missing teeth can take its toll in a variety of ways. Vacant tooth gaps created by missing teeth are a harbor for dangerous bacteria. If left untreated for long enough, bacteria in these gaps can manifest in the form of severe disease and even increase the risk of life-threatening conditions such as stroke, diabetes, and heart disease. And this isn’t to mention the embarrassment and social misery that often coincides with missing teeth.
Fortunately, dental implants offer a permanent solution that can correct even the most severe missing or damaged teeth. Unlike dentures, full mouth dental implants are fixated on the jaw, meaning they never move or slip over time. Implants also provide a far more natural and comfortable fit, allowing you to eat the foods you want, smile confidently, and brush and floss as if you had your natural teeth back.
A dental implant is relatively simple. It is composed of three integral parts: the implant post (usually made of titanium), the prosthetic (replacement tooth), and the abutment, which is a small piece of metal that connects the prosthetic to the implant post.
When a tooth implant is secured into the jaw, osseointegration occurs, meaning the jawbone grows into and around the implant. This permanently fixates the implant, preserving the jaw’s structural integrity and surrounding soft tissue. For this reason, full mouth dental implants are far superior to traditional dentures in modern tooth restoration.
Single dental implants are a sophisticated and highly effective solution for replacing individual missing teeth. By surgically placing a titanium implant into the jawbone, these implants serve as sturdy foundations for lifelike prosthetic teeth. Offering a natural look and feel, single dental implants seamlessly integrate with the surrounding teeth, restoring functionality and aesthetics for a confident smile.
Dental bridges provide a reliable and non-removable solution for filling the gaps missing teeth create. Typically composed of two or more crowns on either side of the gap, with artificial teeth in between, bridges are anchored onto existing teeth or dental implants for stability. This fixed prosthetic not only restores the appearance of a complete smile but also helps maintain proper dental alignment and function.
This type of dental implant represents an intermediate option between full mouth dental implants and traditional removable dentures. Superior to dentures since they do not move or slip over the gums, implant-supported dentures are an opportunity for patients to save money on a new set of teeth while still taking advantage of most of the benefits of full mouth implants.
Full mouth dental implants offer a comprehensive and permanent solution for individuals facing extensive tooth loss or damage. This transformative procedure involves strategically placing dental implants throughout the jaw, creating a stable foundation for a complete set of prosthetic teeth. Beyond restoring oral aesthetics, full mouth dental implants provide unparalleled functionality, allowing individuals to enjoy a natural bite, speak confidently, and maintain optimal oral health.
Whether you’re visiting our office in Niceville, Crestview, or Destin/Miramar Beach, FL, the first step of any dental implant procedure at Smileology is to come in for a consultation visit with our experienced team of implant specialists. We will take detailed images of your oral arch using advanced imaging technology. We will thoroughly discuss every step of the implant plan in the future (including dental implant cost), addressing any questions or concerns you may have.
Once a treatment plan is confirmed, you will come in for surgical placement of the implants and receive your temporary set of new teeth. We will make small incisions in your jawbone and place your dental implants at a 45-degree angle to ensure optimal durability. We will attach the abutment once the implant is placed and set your temporary teeth on top. These provisional teeth allow you to enjoy the benefits of a healthy, beautiful smile immediately while your mouth heals. The procedure is also pain-free, thanks to cutting-edge dental sedation techniques.
Over the next 4-6 months, osseointegration will occur to fuse your implants to your jawbone. Once healing is complete, you will return to the office to place your handcrafted final restoration. Once your final prosthesis is in place, we will schedule maintenance appointments as required at our offices in Niceville, Miramar Beach, and Crestview, FL. With regular checkups and an excellent at-home hygiene routine, your dental implants can last for decades!
