Reclaim Your Smile with Full Mouth Implant Therapy at The Wobbly Tooth Dental Practice

Are you struggling with missing teeth, uncomfortable dentures, or a smile that makes you feel self-conscious? At The Wobbly Tooth Dental Practice, we understand the impact that missing teeth can have on your confidence and overall well-being. That's why we offer comprehensive Full Mouth Implant Therapy, a revolutionary solution to restore your smile, your oral health, and your quality of life.

Full Mouth Implant Therapy provides a permanent and stable foundation for replacement teeth, unlike traditional dentures that can slip, slide, and cause discomfort. This innovative approach uses dental implants, which are small titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, to anchor a complete set of upper or lower replacement teeth, or both. The implants fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a b and secure base for your new smile.

We understand that every patient is unique, which is why we offer both All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant systems. During your consultation, our experienced implant specialists will thoroughly evaluate your oral health, bone density, and overall health to determine the best option for you.

All-on-4 Implant System: This technique utilizes four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. Two of the implants are placed vertically in the front, while the other two are angled at approximately 45 degrees in the back. This angulation maximizes bone-to-implant contact, often eliminating the need for bone grafts in patients with minimal bone density. The All-on-4 system offers a streamlined approach, often allowing patients to receive their new teeth in a single day.

All-on-6 Implant System: For patients with sufficient bone density or those requiring additional support, the All-on-6 system may be recommended. This technique uses six implants to secure the full arch of teeth, providing even greater stability and support. The added implants can be beneficial for patients with more complex cases or those who desire extra security.

Benefits of Full Mouth Implant Therapy:

Improved Appearance: Restore your smile and regain your confidence with a natural-looking set of teeth.
Enhanced Function: Enjoy the ability to eat your favorite foods without restrictions.
Increased Comfort: Eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience of removable dentures.
Improved Speech: Experience clearer speech and improved pronunciation.
Long-Term Solution: Dental implants are a permanent solution that can last a lifetime with proper care.
Improved Oral Health: Implants do not require the reduction of adjacent teeth, preserving your natural tooth structure. They also make it easier to clean between teeth, improving overall oral hygiene.

What to Expect:

The Full Mouth Implant Therapy process typically involves several stages:

Consultation and Evaluation: We will assess your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and determine the best implant system for you.
Implant Placement: The titanium implants are surgically placed into your jawbone.
Healing Period: The implants will fuse with your jawbone through osseointegration.
Abutment Placement: Once the implants have healed, abutments (connectors) are attached to the implants.
Placement of Prosthetic Teeth: Your custom-made replacement teeth are attached to the abutments.

At The Wobbly Tooth Dental Practice, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the highest quality of care. Our team of experienced implant specialists will guide you through every step of the Full Mouth Implant Therapy process, ensuring that you achieve a healthy, beautiful, and functional smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Full Mouth Implant Therapy, and how is it different from dentures?

Full Mouth Implant Therapy is a comprehensive solution for replacing all or most of your teeth using dental implants. Unlike dentures, which are removable and sit on top of the gums, implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a permanent and stable foundation for replacement teeth. This offers superior stability, improved chewing ability, enhanced comfort, and a more natural look and feel compared to dentures.

Am I a candidate for Full Mouth Implant Therapy?

Ideal candidates for Full Mouth Implant Therapy are generally in good overall health and have sufficient bone density in the jaw to support implants. A thorough evaluation by our implant specialist, including a review of your medical history, dental x-rays, and possibly a CT scan, is necessary to determine your candidacy. Even if you've experienced bone loss, procedures like bone grafting may make you a suitable candidate.

What is the All-on-4/All-on-6 concept, and which one is right for me?

The All-on-4 and All-on-6 techniques are innovative approaches to Full Mouth Implant Therapy. All-on-4 uses four implants to support a full arch of teeth, while All-on-6 uses six. The best option for you depends on factors like your bone density, the quality of your jawbone, and your specific needs. Our implant specialist will recommend the most appropriate option during your consultation.

How long does the entire Full Mouth Implant Therapy process take?

The timeline for Full Mouth Implant Therapy varies depending on individual circumstances, but it typically involves several stages. These include the initial consultation and evaluation, implant placement surgery, a healing period (during which osseointegration occurs), and the final placement of the prosthetic teeth. The entire process can take several months, but the results – a stable, functional, and beautiful new smile – are long-lasting and well worth the investment of time.
