Benefits of permanant teeth on implants
When all teeth are missing or in such bad condition that they need to be replaced, a fixed nonremovable prosthesis anchored to dental implants is the best permanent solution

Prior to dental implants, there was  no fixed nonremovable prosthetic solution available for people who lost all their teeth. Today, it is possible to replace a full jaw with dental implants with permanent nonremovable teeth, the results are stable and highly esthetic.

  • Lets you eat and function like having natural teeth
  • A solid, stable solution that will serve you for life
  • Preserves your facial appearance and prevents bone loss 

Treatment:
The treatment procedure and number of visits is largely dependent on the specific conditions. However the entire surgical phase is completed in just one visit with the prosthetic teeth secured to the implants that day. Most patients report that they were much more comfortable following the procedure than they had anticipated.

1: Before the procedure
The dentist determines what needs to be done and prepares both himself and the patient for the coming treatment procedure.		 2: Installing the implants
The first step is installing dental implants to replace the lost tooth roots. In this case, five implants are used. Temporary teeth are attached that enable you to eat and function like normal while waiting for the permanent teeth to be installed.

3: Attaching the permanent teeth
The final prosthesis is securely installed on top of the implants. With a full jaw replacement like this, it normally takes one visit to have the prosthesis completely attached.

 4: End result
Your new teeth should be hard to tell from natural – both for you and others. People who have had traditional dentures before getting permanent teeth on implants often describe this as an overwhelming and very positive experience.

 

 
ALTERNATIVES TO A FIXED PROSTHESIS

dental implants gillette new jersey  An alternative to a fixed prosthesis is a removable overdenture, which is anchored on implants. The old fashioned denture has many disadvantages and should be avoided if possible.

A removable full denture that is connected to either a ball or bar attachment, which in turn is anchored on two or more implants in the front part of the jaw.

The implants help keep the denture in place and provide better function and comfort. Cost is usually the reason why this solution is chosen over a fixed prosthesis – although the end result can’t be compared.

A denture that is loosely placed on top of the gum to cover the lost teeth. This alternative to dental implants has no real advantages – except for its low price and easy installation.

The disadvantages are many: discomfort in eating, poor esthetics, affected speech, and sore gums from denture movement. Moreover, a full denture placed in the upper jaw severely reduces the sense of taste.
