Who is eligible for full-mouth dental implants?

 Dental implants are the most effective way to replace a broken or missing tooth. In fact, even if a person has lost most of their teeth, a full mouth dental implant procedure is often the most preferred option to restore their teeth and smile. So, if you have lost more than half of your teeth due to old age or periodontal disease, you might be eligible for full-mouth dental implants in New Hampshire.

How is a full-mouth dental implant procedure different from single tooth dental implants?

During the single tooth dental implant procedure, the implant is installed to replace one missing/damaged tooth. It provides appropriate support for the adjacent teeth and prevents bone shrinking. On the other hand, replacing each tooth one by one can be a long and expensive procedure. Therefore, special dentures are made for permanent installation in the jawbone during a full mouth dental implant procedure. These are affixed on the gums with posts installed on 4-5 places in the jaw. They act similar to natural teeth, and unlike dentures, they are securely placed, so there is no risk of these slipping out accidentally.

Full mouth dental implants are considered a superior method of full teeth replacement rather than dentures. Although dentures are cheaper and removable, they require more maintenance and cannot prevent jawbone deterioration. Also, there is always a risk of dentures accidentally slipping out, which can be embarrassing for people in social situations. On the other hand, permanent dentures with dental implants keep the teeth in place. It increases the person’s chewing ability and stimulates jawbone growth. It also maintains jawline strength and helps avoid jowls and turkey neck.

Full mouth dental implants require little maintenance and provide a permanent solution for missing teeth. These are custom-made to fit your mouth’s shape perfectly, so they are much more comfortable than dentures.
