All candidates can get different teeth replacements
Full mouth extractions may be required for a variety of reasons, including severe tooth loss due to infection, decay, gum disease, trauma, bone loss, or abscess. Patients who have lost a significant number of teeth may benefit from complete tooth replacement treatments, such as full dentures.
Our team will evaluate each patient's unique situation, taking into account factors like lifestyle, diet, jawbone health, and budget, to determine the best treatment option. We may recommend a full-mouth extraction to prepare patients for complete dentures, ensuring they receive the most effective and personalized care possible.
“Which option is right for any particular patient depends on several factors, such as lifestyle choices, diet, the extent of jawbone deterioration, and budget.”
Replace Teeth with Complete Dentures
There are two types of complete dentures: immediate and conventional. With immediate dentures, the dentures are created before the teeth are removed so they can be placed immediately after extraction. However, this option may require more adjustments during the healing process. On the other hand, conventional dentures are placed 8 to 12 weeks after the teeth are removed, allowing time for the gum tissue to heal. Immediate dentures are only a temporary solution until the conventional dentures are ready.

Options Supported by Implants
In addition to traditional dentures, there are implant-supported options available for replacing missing teeth. These implant-supported full bridges or dentures not only look and function like natural teeth but are also durable and long-lasting. They provide a more comfortable and stable fit compared to conventional dentures, allowing patients to enjoy a more natural biting and chewing experience.
The dental implant process involves surgically placing a titanium steel screw into the gum line and fusing it to the jawbone. Once the implant has fully fused, temporary healing caps and connecting devices are used to attach multiple crowns to the implants, creating a solid foundation for the new bridge or denture. Finally, the full bridge or denture is created and attached to small metal posts, known as abutments.

Additional Options for Full Teeth Replacement
Patients have several options for replacing missing teeth, including complete dentures, full bridges, and dental implants. Another option is the All-on-4® dental implant treatment, which uses four implants to support a full-arch lower denture. In some cases, up to six implants may be needed for an upper denture.
The treatment involves placing two implants at the front of the arch where the front teeth used to be, followed by placing the remaining implants on the sides at a 45° angle towards the back of the mouth. The overdenture then attaches to the implants using special attachments on the fitting surface. To learn more about our available treatments, please contact us.
“Besides complete dentures, full bridges, and dental implants, patients can also choose the All-on-4® dental implant treatment to replace their teeth.”
Getting all teeth replaced
Replacing all of your teeth may seem overwhelming, but it is necessary in cases of severe decay or infection. Fortunately, there are many options for tooth replacement to choose from. It is crucial to replace missing teeth to avoid issues with speech, eating, and jaw health. All teeth replacement can help prevent changes in facial shape and other complications that may arise from tooth loss.
