Full mouth implants can be used to provide a foundation for a dental bridge or removable dentures that span an entire arch. When placing full mouth implants, our tooth implants dentist in Beverly Hills will strategically place several implants around the arch, choosing locations that have sufficient bone mass to support an implant. If insufficient bone is present, sometimes bone grafts can be performed to increase the amount of bone available. The number of implants placed varies for each patient, but usually at least four implants are placed on each arch.
Dental implants are considered to be permanent replacements for tooth roots, so they provide a stable foundation for a dental bridge or dentures. A bridge or dentures supported by implants look like natural teeth, and do not impact the way you speak or eat. Furthermore, unlike regular dentures, the dentures that attach to implants snap into place, so you never have to worry that they might slip or fall out.
