If you’re missing teeth, full mouth dental implants are far and away the best option for making a transformative change and re-instilling health, happiness, and confidence back into your daily routine.

If you live in central Florida and are ready to take just a few simple steps in order to obtain beautiful new teeth that will last you the rest of your life, be sure to call or stop into our Spring Hill, FL implant clinic today.
Full mouth dental implants essentially restore an entire tooth and root structure both above and below the gums. When a patient is missing a tooth, the soft tissue of the gums becomes exposed and therefore is highly prone to bacteria accumulation and subsequent infection. Missing teeth also leaves the jaw bone exposed, and over the long term, bone mass will actually begin to deteriorate and erode a patient’s bone structure and facial features. Dental implants actually restore the full strength and integrity of both the tooth and bone, preserving structural support and reshaping a patient’s natural smile.
Most dental implants are composed of three parts: the implant post, the abutment, and the restoration. The implant post is first drilled and securely anchored into the jaw. Next, the abutment is attached to the implant, which acts as a connecting piece between the post and the restoration. (Full arch restorations are typically made with “All on four” or “All on six,” meaning either four or six implant posts are anchored into the jaw to support the new arch of teeth). Finally, the restoration (replacement tooth) is secured to the abutment, finalizing the dental implant process and restoring the patient’s natural oral arch.
As you can see from the table above, full mouth dental implants provide far greater long-term benefits compared to dentures or even implant-supported dentures. Full arch dental implants support the structural integrity of the jaw, and can actually help eliminate chronic soft tissue inflammation and restore a patient’s natural facial features and soft tissue aesthetics. In other words, while a full arch of new teeth results in a stunning, beautiful new smile, it also helps rebuild oral health from the ground up and lays the foundation for a lifetime of gorgeous, healthy teeth.
