Candidates for All Teeth Replacement Options

Full mouth extractions may be necessary for various reasons. Individuals who experience excessive or total tooth loss are ideal candidates for complete tooth replacement treatments. Severe tooth loss primarily occurs because of severe infection or decay. It can also occur due to gum disease, trauma, bone loss, or abscess.

We may recommend a full-mouth extraction to prepare patients for complete dentures. The best treatment option for a patient depends on several factors, such as lifestyle choices, diet, the extent of jawbone deterioration, and budget. We can assess each patient’s individual needs and circumstances to recommend the optimal solution.

Complete Dentures to Replace Teeth

There are two types of complete dentures, immediate and conventional. Once a patient has their teeth removed, the gum tissue has time to heal. Then, placement of the conventional dentures occurs eight to 12 weeks after the extraction.

The creation of immediate dentures happens ahead of time. This allows us to place this type of complete denture as soon as we remove the patient’s teeth. While this option is quick, it also requires more adjustments during the healing process. Immediate dentures are only a temporary option while the laboratory creates the conventional dentures.

Implant-Supported Options

Besides dentures, there are implant-supported options to replace missing teeth. In addition to looking and functioning like natural teeth, implant-supported full bridges or dentures are also long-lasting. They can also be more comfortable and stable than conventional dentures. These benefits allow patients to have a more natural biting and chewing ability.

The dental implant process involves surgically inserting a titanium steel screw into the gum line and fusing it to the jawbone. Once the implant has fused, we place temporary healing caps and various connecting devices to attach multiple crowns to the implants. This completes the foundation on which we will place the new bridge or denture. Lastly, we will create and place the full bridge or denture and attach it to small metal posts, called abutments.

Replacing All Teeth

Complete teeth replacement can sound like a daunting experience. In severe cases, the spread of a cavity, tooth decay, or bacterial infections can move from one tooth to the entire mouth. A full mouth extraction is necessary when the damaged or infected teeth are no longer useful.

Luckily, various tooth replacement options are available. It is important to replace missing teeth because it can impact speech and eating and cause other problems over time. Tooth loss can also affect the jaw and facial muscles. As the mouth shifts, missing teeth can result in a changed face shape. All teeth replacement is a good option for people who want to avoid such complications.

“Once the implant has fused, we will apply a crown that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why is complete teeth replacement necessary?

A. Tooth loss can affect a person’s oral health and overall health. Missing teeth can result in the loss of bone density, drifting teeth, and further tooth loss. All this may cause a person to eat a diet lacking the nutrients needed to maintain overall health.

Q. Can children use any of the all teeth replacement options?

A. Most children are not at risk of losing most or all of their teeth. However, if a child does lose one or more teeth, there are safe replacement options. Our team can provide parents with more information during a consultation.

Q. Is one complete teeth replacement option better than others?

A. Every patient is different. There is no best teeth replacement option for everyone. However, implants are a popular full tooth replacement option since they look and feel similar to a natural tooth. Our team will discuss each patient’s best options during their consultation.

Q. How much do all teeth replacement options cost?

A. Every patient is different. The cost for any complete teeth replacement solution will vary. People should contact their insurance provider for more information before seeking treatment.

Q. What are denture adhesives and how do they work?

A. Denture adhesives are pastes, powders, or adhesive pads that people place on or in dentures to help them stay in place. Over time, bone shrinkage occurs in the mouth, causing gaps and dentures to become loose. These adhesives provide temporary relief from loose dentures.
