One of the most effective options for replacing missing teeth, particularly when multiple teeth need replacing, is dental implants. It is possible to replace a single tooth or all of your teeth with implants, depending on your needs.

Surgically implanted in the jaw, dental implants are artificial tooth roots. Typically, titanium is used, as it is a biocompatible material that forms a solid bond with bone.

Implants that replace single teeth will be capped with crowns.

To support dentures, four implants are typically required when replacing an entire arch of teeth. In some cases, a full arch dental implant is referred to as an implant-supported denture or an All-on-4 implant. There is a slight difference between these two types of dental replacement options.

Implant supported dentures are one type of full arch dental implant. The anchoring of a full arch denture can be accomplished with the help of a few dental implants.

Dentures snap onto implants inserted surgically in the jawbone. Depending on the type of implants used, you can get removable or permanent dentures. It is possible to take out removable dentures when you sleep at night and to clean them.

Dentures that remain in place all the time are brushed like natural teeth.

An alternative type of full arch dental implant is called an All-on-4 implant. In order to support a full arch denture, 4 dental implants are positioned at specific angles and positions in the jaw. In the All-on-4 process, you receive a permanent denture that is only removable by your dentist. Patients with some bone loss in the jaw may benefit from this treatment without having to undergo a bone graft.

As dental technology advances, people who are losing all their teeth in the upper or lower jaw now have an alternative to removable dentures. With full arch teeth replacement, a full arch can be replaced with comfort and stability. Patients benefit from implant-supported teeth because they look and function like natural teeth.
 
For a stable, aesthetic, long-term solution, dental implants and fixed bridges can be used to replace a full arch of teeth. Modern implant systems allow you to support the maximum number of teeth – a full arch of the upper or lower jaw – with a minimum number of implants. The benefits of this cutting-edge technology are life-changing for many people. As opposed to removable dentures, many find this solution more comfortable, secure, and reliable.

Replacement of the full arch can provide significant health benefits to men and women who have lost their teeth in addition to comfort, convenience, and reliability. By stabilizing and stimulating the surrounding bone, implants prevent jawbone volume loss and density loss. A dental implant allows normal function of the jaws, nerves, muscles, and joints, making eating, chewing, speaking, laughing, kissing, and smiling possible. A more youthful and attractive appearance is also achieved by restoring support to the mouth, lips, and facial structures.

Consider that dental implants are “medical devices” that require a larger team of dental professionals to place and that the placement of dental implants is both art and science when reviewing and comparing costs. Rather than buying a product, you are buying a service that will change your life and give you permanent teeth. In average cases, you will have to pay around $4,500 for a full-arch fixed implant bridge to replace all of your top or bottom teeth. However, this figure will vary among dentist practices and patients for a host of reasons, so it is important to get an estimated cost from your provider.
