If you have missing teeth or severe dental issues, full mouth restoration can help you regain a healthy, functional smile. At Avanti Dentistry in Vienna, Virginia, we offer several solutions for complete teeth restoration. Here’s a six-step guide to understanding your options.
Full dental implants are a long-lasting, highly effective solution for complete tooth replacement. This process involves placing several titanium implants into your jawbone, which act as sturdy foundations for prosthetic teeth. Full dental implants offer superior stability, prevent bone loss, and provide a natural-looking, permanent solution to missing teeth. They can last for decades with proper care, making them a reliable option for long-term restoration.
For those looking for a less invasive option, All-on-4 implants offer an efficient alternative. This system uses just four implants to support an entire arch of teeth, providing strong, stable support. The All-on-4 system can often be completed in fewer appointments than traditional implants, with a quicker recovery time. It’s an ideal option for patients seeking faster results while maintaining the benefits of implant-supported teeth.
Fixed dental bridges are another option for patients missing several teeth but not the entire arch. A dental bridge uses neighboring teeth or implants to anchor artificial teeth, effectively filling gaps. Bridges are cost-effective, less invasive than full dental implants, and offer great functionality and aesthetic improvement. With proper maintenance, they usually last 10-15 years, making them a solid mid-term solution.
For a more traditional and affordable option, removable dentures can restore a full set of teeth. Modern dentures are designed for comfort and a more natural appearance. While less permanent than implants, removable dentures provide an easy-to-use and customizable solution. They can be taken out for cleaning and adjusted for fit, offering flexibility and affordability, especially for patients not ready for surgical options.
A hybrid solution combining the stability of implants with the flexibility of dentures, implant-supported dentures offer greater security than traditional removable dentures. With just a few implants in the jawbone, the denture stays firmly in place, improving chewing and speaking ability. Implant-supported dentures eliminate the need for adhesives and provide more stability, making them a great option for patients seeking the best of both worlds.
