Full-arch Replacement is a term often used interchangeably to describe the process of rebuilding or restoring all of the teeth in an arch. Dr. Park and Dr. Tammy, who have years of experience working with the materials and procedures related to full-mouth reconstruction, will develop a plan that addresses all your needs and will leave you with a perfect smile, ideal bite, and optimal function.
You may be a candidate for full-mouth reconstruction if:
- Your teeth have been lost due to decay or trauma
- Your teeth have been injured or fractured
- You have severe periodontal disease and your teeth will be lost
Below are options for full arch replacement:
Overdenture
Overdentures are an affordable alternative to full dentures. Lower dentures, in particular, are often unstable due to the lack of stability and location of the tongue. They often rock back and forth making chewing difficult. The placement of two dental implants in the jaw leads to better stability and retention of the denture. Although it must be removed at night like a regular denture, the overdenture often gives patients back more stability during eating and talking.
Fixed Hybrid - All-on-4®
Maintain optimal oral function and aesthetics with All-on-4 same-day teeth replacement. Using state-of-the-art technology, All-on-4 treatment replaces traditional dentures, which can be uncomfortable, inconvenient, and poorly fitted. All-on-4 turns problematic chewing and speaking into relics of the past.
Using four to six dental implants to attach a full dental restoration, your doctor can give you the stable, functional, and cosmetic solution you've been looking for. Best of all, your dentures can be placed on the same day as your implants, so you don't have to wait to get the restored smile you deserve.
The Benefits of All-on-4
- All-on-4 lowers the need for bone graft surgery while ensuring greater stability in the existing bone. It can even be used for patients who have been told they do not qualify for implants due to bone loss.
- The All-on-4 solution is more comfortable and functions better than traditional dentures because the All-on-4 prosthesis is more secure and feels like natural teeth.
- You'll never have to worry about your false teeth slipping or falling out while you eat or engage in conversation.
- There is no need for denture adhesive!
