What happens if all teeth are missing?
If you have lost all your teeth in one of your jaws, you have two possibilities:
- Wearing a complete flipper
- Implant treatment
Complete dentures work very well in many cases, but over time maxillary bones get reabsorbed and the fake teeth doesn’t fit very well, unless you use special adhesives.
Other people instead, can not stand a removable prosthesis for psychological or social reasons. The sensation of getting their teeth back and being able to chew well, turn into a great life quality improvement for many of them.
With dental implants the dentist can get a fixing point placing a bar upon two implants, over this point he/she can make a removable “overflipper”, that stays firm in despite of the chewing movements.
Another alternative is placing many implants in the frontal area and making a fix bridge, less notorious than the complete dentures, which goes fixed to the implant and is not removable.
Implant treatment advantages
- More comfort
- Being able to chew any kind of food
- Keeping the size and shape of dental bones
Modern dentistry offers conventional restoring treatments enhanced with the use of new materials and technology, and also gives new options with the use of dental implants.
Treatments are personalized considering many factors. Not always the new is the best. Ask your dentist which is the most suitable option for your needs.
