What are Full Mouth Dental Implants?

Full-mouth dental implants Turkey, also knowns as “full-arch restoration” or “full-arch dental implants,” function as anchors for replacing damaged or missing teeth. Dental implants, formed from a titanium screw, have three components: the implant, abutment, and crown. The implant is placed in the jawbone to replace the missing tooth root, and the abutment is attached to the implant; for the natural-looking and functional replacement, the crown is attached to the abutment. Dental implants can also support dental bridges and form a larger structure of artificial teeth that is flexible and easy to handle.

Full-mouth dental implants have many advantages, involving placing several dental implants throughout the jaw to support a full set of replacement teeth. First, dental implants Turkey offer a permanent resolution for missing teeth and prevent bone loss in the jaw. With dental implants, patients enhance their mouth functionality by improving bite force and speech. Besides, there is no risk of having cavities once you get dental implants in Turkey.

Three months post-implant integration, the patient returns to the clinic for abutment attachment and final restoration. Dental crowns, bridges, or dentures are placed based on the patient's needs and preferences.

Ask Now

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper maintenance. Dental implants are intended to be a long-term solution; however, several factors affect the longevity of the implants, such as an inexperienced surgeon, improper placement of the implants, tissue trauma during the placement, medical conditions of the patients, teeth grinding, and insufficient care. Therefore, to prevent implants from failing, patients should consider a well-experienced surgeon and give importance to the aftercare process.

Can you have dental implants with receding gums?

Because dental implants are directly attached to the jawbone and gum tissue, if the patient does not have enough gum tissue, it can lead to implant failure. Patients with gum recession should have treatment for the gums and then have dental implants.

What is the difference between dental implants and dentures?

Dental implants replace tooth roots in a fixed position. Since dental implants are embedded into the jawbone, they are not removable. Therefore, there is no risk of dental implants slipping away. Furthermore, dental implants allow patients to eat whatever they want. On the contrary, dentures are not fixed; they are removable. Dentures restrict individuals from exerting pressure on the teeth and lead to dislocating.

How does a dental implant affect bite and jaw alignment?

Missing teeth can cause the remaining teeth to shift out of place, leading to bite and jaw alignment issues. This can cause problems with chewing, speaking, and even breathing. Dental implants positively affect bite and jaw alignment because they prevent these issues by covering the gaps and providing stability for the remaining teeth. Dental implants also maintain the jawbone structure, prevent it from deteriorating over time and prevent bone loss.

How do I take care of my dental implants after the procedure?

It is vital to maintain good oral hygiene after the procedure. Patients should regularly brush their teeth and floss 2 times a day with a good brush. Using antibacterial mouthwash is also helpful in reducing the risk of infection and keeping the mouth clean. It is recommended to visit the dentist regularly as well.
