Full Arch Implant

Full Arch Implant-Supported Teeth:

A Comprehensive Solution for a New Smile

If you’re missing multiple teeth or even a full arch of teeth, and looking for a reliable solution that feels natural and secure, a full arch implant-supported bridge could be the answer. Here’s everything you need to know about this advanced dental treatment as outlined by our surgical dentists at Dental Avenue:

What is a Full Implant-Supported Bridge?

A full implant-supported bridge is a state-of-the-art dental restoration designed to replace an entire arch of missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest on the gums, this bridge is firmly anchored into the jawbone with dental implants.

How Does a Full Implant-Supported Bridge Work?

Multiple Implants: Several dental implants are strategically placed into the jawbone to support the bridge.

Stable Foundation: These implants serve as sturdy anchors for a custom-made bridge that spans the entire length of the missing teeth.

Benefits of a Full Implant-Supported Bridge:

Enhanced Functionality: Enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling with confidence, knowing your teeth are securely anchored.

Natural Appearance: The bridge is meticulously crafted to resemble natural teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile.

Preservation of Jawbone: Implants help stimulate the jawbone, minimising bone loss and maintaining facial structure.

Who Is a Candidate for a Full Implant-Supported Bridge?

Full Arch Tooth Loss: Ideal for individuals missing all or most of their teeth in one or both arches.

Good Oral Health: Generally requires healthy gums and sufficient bone density to support the implants.

Good General Health: Generally requires patients to be in good health with stable medical conditions.

What to Expect During Treatment?

• Initial Consultation: Your dentist will assess your oral health and discuss treatment options, including the placement of implants.
• Implant Placement: The dental implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone during a procedure performed under local anesthesia, with the option for sedation available.
• Temporary Bridge: A temporary bridge is placed the next day after implant surgery to restore function and aesthetics.
• Final Bridge Placement: Once the implants have integrated with the jawbone (over 3-4 months), a permanent, custom-crafted bridge is made and securely attached.

A full implant-supported bridge offers a durable, natural-looking solution for replacing an entire arch of missing teeth.
