Superior Function and Comfort Over Removable Dentures
Dr. Kuyunov, a leading prosthodontist in Rochester, NY, is a dental implant dentist dedicated to ensuring that his patients who are interested in receiving full-arch implants are made as comfortable as possible throughout the entire process.
What are full-arch dental implants?
Full-arch dental implants are used when there is a need to replace a full dental arch (the top or bottom teeth) for patients who are missing most or all of their natural teeth. Full-arch fixed prostheses on dental implants look and function like natural teeth. For full-arch dental implants, four or more medical-grade titanium implants are inserted into your jawbone. A full set of teeth is then permanently affixed to the implants.
What are full-mouth dental implants?
If you are missing most or all of your upper and lower teeth, you can receive both the top and bottom full-arch implants, also known as full-mouth dental implants. The prosthetic teeth are then affixed to the implants. After receiving your full-mouth fixed prostheses, you will gain a more natural biting and chewing capacity.
What are the benefits of full-arch and full-mouth dental implants?
As explained on our dental implants page, there are many overall benefits of getting dental implants. Some of these include restoring your beautiful smile, regaining your self-confidence, and improving biting and chewing function. Full-arch or full-mouth dental implants have several benefits over conventional dentures, which include:
- Improved Taste Sensation: Conventional upper dentures cover the palate, thus covering the upper taste buds. Full-arch dental implants keep the palate open.
- Functionality and Comfort: Conventional dentures can irritate the gums and can be uncomfortable while chewing or talking vs. full-mouth dental implants function more like natural teeth.
- Increased Stability: Full-mouth dental implants are permanent and are as stable as natural teeth vs. conventional dentures that can move and slip while chewing or talking.
- Preservation of Bone Structure: Full-mouth dental implants help retain bone integrity vs. dentures that will not protect against jawbone loss since the bone that previously surrounded the tooth roots can begin to deteriorate from wearing dentures.
- Improved Nutrition: Conventional dentures can make it difficult to eat certain foods which can lead to a decrease in health and quality of life vs. full-mouth dental implants that allow you to eat almost any foods you desire.
If you are looking to replace missing teeth and are considering full-arch or full-mouth dental implants in Rochester, NY, Dr. Isaac Kuyunov will perform a complete and careful examination of your jaw, teeth, mouth, and overall health to determine if dental implants are the best option for you.
