Rebuild Your Smile with Functional and Natural-looking Implant-Supported Fixed Prosthesis
Have you lost multiple teeth to injury, gum disease, or extensive tooth decay? Conventional dentures are a viable option to replace your entire arch of teeth. But with the innovative approach of dental implants, Dr. Maegan Elam of Maegan Elam, DDS and Associates, Bedford, Texas, can complete your entire smile permanently for a more stable and natural-looking outcome with All-on-four dental implants.
What are implant-supported dentures?
Dental trauma, gum disease, and decay are reasons you can lose several or all your teeth. Fortunately, you don’t have to live the rest of your life with an incomplete smile. Dental implants offer a game-changing solution for patients with extensive tooth loss.
While you can opt for a single dental implant for every tooth lost, this route can be pretty expensive, given that one implant costs about $3,000. With implant-retained dentures, you only need four to six implants per jaw to replace an entire arch of teeth. Once your implants are firmly anchored in your jawbone, we attach a natural-looking denture that completes your smile and restores your oral function.
Benefits of implant dentures
Traditional dentures are an inexpensive solution to restore your missing teeth, but most patients find them uncomfortable. Plus, they always have you on the edge as they can pop out loose whenever you least expect it.
Traditional dentures move or slip because they rest on your gums with only suction or adhesives to keep them in place. However, dentures offer a stable and comfortable teeth replacement option when anchored on a secure foundation like implants.
Following are the benefits of All-on-four dental implants:
- Enhanced functionality: All-on-four implants restore your oral function to near-perfect, helping you eat, smile, and talk confidently
- Preserved jaw bone: Dental implants stimulate your jawbone to promote regeneration
- Stability: Dentures secured by implants don’t slip, move, or shift when using your teeth
- Improved esthetics: Implant dentures look and feel like your natural teeth, restoring confidence in your smile
- Longevity: Dental implants are designed to last for life, eliminating frequent replacements and unexpected expenses
With All-on-four implants, you don’t have to use messy adhesives or endure the inconvenience of removing your restorations every night. Implant dentures are permanently anchored in your jawbone to enhance stability, comfort, and function.
