Advice on Using Dental Implants in Full Mouth Reconstruction

Sometimes a single tooth is required to cover a gap caused by a lost tooth, and other times a whole set of artificial teeth is required to replace the natural teeth. Sometimes people have medical disorders that necessitate full mouth reconstruction, occasionally they have major accidents that necessitate the procedure, and sometimes they are unhappy with their appearance and opt to have this work done.

Full mouth implants are among the most recent treatments utilized in complete dental implants. Dental implants are a sort of replacement tooth or fake tooth. These can be used to replace one single tooth, many missing teeth, or a complete mouth full of teeth.

Patients undergoing complete mouth reconstruction choose dental implants because:

A. With this form of replacement teeth, you can eat and drink whatever you desire. When you wear traditional dentures, you must be careful not to consume things that are extremely chewy, such as caramels, since your teeth may be pulled out of your mouth. The implanted teeth are held in place by a titanium rod that is welded to your jawbone, so you don't have to worry about your tooth being yanked out when you bite into an apple or eat corn on the cob.

B. Conventional dentures can acquire a foul odor. Traditional dentures must be removed from your mouth and washed in denture cleaning to avoid odors, while implants may be cleaned with toothpaste and toothbrush just like your natural teeth.

C. Very few people can tell that someone has implants and that their teeth are not their natural teeth. Implant specialists can create teeth that are the same size as real teeth and the same color as natural teeth in the mouth. This results in the individual receiving them having a mouth full of natural-looking teeth.

D. People who wear conventional dentures are concerned that their teeth will no longer fit correctly when they gain or lose weight. Implants are attached to your jawbone and remain in place even if your weight varies.

Reasons, why patients may not choose dental implants as part of a full mouth reconstruction, include:

 1. The healing process following having the implants is significantly more challenging than the healing process following regular dentures. 

 2. The surgery to implant titanium rods is much more expensive than traditional dentures.

 3. The operation can only be performed if the patient has enough bone on their jawbone to allow for the fusion of the native bone with the titanium rod.

 4. Not all implants can be instantly loaded with teeth, and patients may have to wait for their treatment to be completed. 

 5. You must locate a dental professional who has studied the treatment and is capable of doing the appropriate testing to confirm your eligibility.
