FULL MOUTH IMPLANT

Has chewing, speaking or smiling become more difficult because of missing teeth? So sick of removable dentures? When it comes to tooth restoration, dental implants are the way to go!

DENTAL EFFECTS OF MISSING TEETH

There are multiple reasons why someone loses their teeth, including gum disease and other dental complications such as dental injuries, dental extractions, wear and tear, and even genetics. It can be a serious health problem with not replacing missing teeth:

Difficulty chewing
Bone loss
Oral infection
Bite irregularities and shifting teeth
Impact facial aesthetics
Difficult to pronounce certain words

ADVANTAGES OF FULL MOUTH IMPLANT

ALL-ON-4/ ALL-ON-6 implant procedure by definition is removal of all your natural teeth and complete replacement of an upper or lower set of teeth with a complete permanent implant bridge supported by 4, 6 or more dental implants (depending on your oral health and structure of your mouth).

Many patients who have lost all their teeth prefer the idea of having fixed teeth rather than the dentures they have to remove for cleaning. Unlike removable dentures, all-on-4/ all-on-6 implants are permanently fixed in place, essentially support a prosthesis that replaces all of your missing teeth in one arch (upper or lower). They can help you to get back to savouring your favourite foods, and enjoy the feeling of attractive, healthy, non-removable teeth.

In addition to improving your appearance and confidence, dental implants can also help prevent bone loss or resorption of the jaw – something that often plagues denture wearers as they age.

Due to the permanence of full mouth, you won’t experience the anxiety and discomfort so often associated with wearing dentures. Just imagine, no more sore spots or sliding from side to side, no removing the denture at night. It won’t rock out of place or feel too loose for normal activities. You won’t have to worry about the potential embarrassment of your dentures slipping out while you sneeze or speak. Enjoy a social life once again: have dinner with relatives or even go swimming.

* If you would otherwise need a full set of removable dentures, you could be an ideal candidate for full mouth fixed implant dentures.

WHO CAN HAVE FULL MOUTH (ALL-ON-4/ ALL-ON-6 IMPLANT)?

If you are in the process of losing or have lost about half of your teeth, or have advanced periodontal disease, you may be eligible for a full mouth dental implant procedure.

The first step to replacing your missing teeth with implants is to find out whether or not dental implants are right for you. Also, results from a Cone beam CT scan during the consultation will aid our oral surgeon in determining whether implants are right for you. You may be a good candidate for dental implants if you have:

Good general health: If you have an untreated condition, such as uncontrolled diabetes, or require certain medications that can interfere with post-surgical healing, you will likely need to consider alternative treatments;
Adequate jaw bone volume: if you are lacking sufficient jaw bone density to anchor an implant, the aid of a bone graft can help create a stronger foundation for successful integration;
Healthy gums - otherwise you may benefit from periodontal treatment to restore your gum health prior to receiving implants;
Commitment to good oral health - because implants require ongoing care and maintenance;
Non-smoker: If you smoke, our dentist may not recommend surgery since smoking can slow healing.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about Implant placement:

Q: How long does implant last?

A: How long dental implant lasts depend largely on the patient's lifestyle and overall dental hygiene The implant itself can last a lifetime with a good home-care, assuming the patient receives regular dental check-ups twice a year But there are several factors that can cause an implant to fail prematurely. People who suffer from diabetes or a preexisting medical condition, such as cancer, have a higher risk of dental implant failure.

Q: Can I have dental implant if I have bone loss?

A: The jaw bone is responsible for securing your teeth in place. Bone loss is a very common side effect of tooth loss. This is because, without the roots of the teeth in place, the jaw bone slowly starts to resorb or shrink back
At EMCAS, X-rays will be taken to see if you are missing a significant amount of bone in your jaw that would more than likely impact the success of your dental implants. Our dentist may suggest bone grafting - a procedure using synthetic materials or bone is taken from a different area of your body and applied to your jaw.

Q: My dentist suggest a bone graft, is it really needed?

A: Successful bone grafting allows your jaw bone to be strong enough to support your dental implant. Once the bone graft is complete, the rest of the implant surgery can move forward. This starts with placing the titanium dental implant post into the jawbone. This stage also may take up to several months to heal. Bone grafting procedures and dental implants themselves may be time-consuming, but the result is worth waiting for.

Q: Am I too old for dental implant?

A: If you are wondering how old is too old for dental implant, don't be worry much because we often get this similar question from our customers. They may also wonder whether their dental implants have a different success rate based on their age. The truth is that dental implants work for the aged just as well as they do for younger patients. It does not make a difference if you are 20 or 80. If you are properly evaluated by a qualified dental professional and determined to be a good candidate, there is no reason why you cannot have extremely high success rates as do most patients.

Q: How painful is the implant placement?

A: During the dental implant procedure, there should not be pain as you will have been given local or general anesthesia. Our experienced dental implant team will work diligently to make your procedure fast, pain-free, safe and successful

PROCESS

The most common steps are mentioned below. It depends largely on your overall health and oral health.

Consultation and scanning
During initial consultation, a comrehensive dental exam and a CT Cone beam is performed in order to know the quality of your bones, create models made of your teeth and jaw. Our surgeon will also review your medical history and current conditions.

Dental implant planning
Implant design is made to exactly know where the implants are going to be placed. This takes into account the location of high-risk structures such as the nerves and sinuses.

Implant placement
During surgery to place the dental implant, since the post will serve as the tooth root, it's implanted deep into the bone. At this point, you'll still have a gap where your tooth is missing. A type of partial, temporary denture can be placed for appearance.

Follow up

After you’ve had your implant fitted, our dentist will arrange review appointments to make sure that the bone and gum around the implant has healed correctly and that everything is comfortable for you. They will also check that you haven’t developed an infection.

Final prothesis construction.

Our surgeon will place a prosthesis on the set of implant right after implant placement if your bone is good. Otherwise, they will wait for the implant to integrate with the bone (after 4-6 months). The duration required may vary according to the complexity. There may be visits in between to check for accuracy of the manufacturing process before proceeding to the next step.

If cared for properly, dental implants can last just as long as normal healthy teeth. To make sure you get the most out of your implant and that it heals successfully, we’ve put together the following advice:

48 hours after placement: The first hour after surgery, keep firm but gentle pressure on the gauzepacks with your teeth, keeping them in place. Make sure not to change out the gauze until after that first hour, unless you have heavy and persistent bleeding. After that, change the gauze every 30 to 45 minutes.

To help your recovery go smoothly and to avoid complications make sure to follow these tips:

🔶 Don’t disturb the surgical areas

🔶 Brush your teeth the night of surgery with a gentle toothbrush

🔶 After the first 24 hours, rinse with salt water 2-3 times a day

🔶 Rest

🔶 Apply ice if needed

On the second and third days after the procedure, continue caring for your whole mouth. You may notice discoloration or bruising around the surgical areas, but this is normal and should last for 2-3 days. One other thing you may want to consider is altering your diet, incorporating less acidic foods, softer foods, and nutrient-rich drinks and foods. After a few days, you can apply gentle heat to the area to decrease the discoloration and bruising. It's also possible that the area may bleed; this is nothing to worry about. If the bleeding cannot be stopped with light pressure, contact your dentist as soon as possible.

For two weeks after having your implant fitted, you must rinse the area with antiseptic mouthwash (which your dentist can recommend to you) morning and night for one minute. You’ll also need to rinse your mouth with warm water after every meal.

Once your implant has been fitted and has fully healed, your implants and replacement teeth should work the same as natural teeth. You’ll be able to eat all your favourite foods, just as you would with normal healthy teeth. It’s important to keep up good oral health to make sure you get the maximum lifespan out of your implant. Make sure you brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss regularly.

Follow up care: A professional periodically will need to thoroughly clean the threads of the implant, the surrounding tissue, and your natural teeth. This helps keep away bacteria, which can lead to an infection. Plus, it’s good for the dentist to inspect the overall condition and alignment of the implant.
