Whether you are facing extensive tooth loss or dissatisfied with traditional dentures, full mouth dental implants permanently replace missing teeth in a comfortable, secure manner. Full mouth dental implants solutions combine the science of implantology with the simplicity and convenience of dentures.
With this modern option, two or more dental implants in Romulus, MI are placed within the jaw, strategically positioned to support a full arch prosthesis. Full arch dental implants allow you to once again enjoy a confident and comfortable smile, improved oral function and quality of life.
The full mouth dental implants process begins with a personalized consultation and exam. Dr. Lauren Anderson captures diagnostic images with 3D CBCT scans, and provides treatment recommendations based on your anatomical needs. She is specialty trained in placing full mouth dental implants in Romulus, MI, preparing the jaw for implant placement, and offers relaxing sedation options for your comfort. Following your procedure, Dr. Anderson refers you back to your general dentist, who attaches your full arch prosthesis when your implants are ready to be restored.
Dr. Anderson utilizes materials highly regarded for superior quality and design in creating exceptional results with full mouth dental implants solutions to replace missing teeth in Romulus, MI.
The type of full arch dental implant products and systems we use is dependent on your unique tooth replacement needs and goals. Our full mouth dental implants options include:
A revolutionary solution using BioHorizons® full mouth dental implants, TeethXpress relies on a series of four to six implants, placed at precise locations within the jaw bone. A new or existing denture is then adapted for a precision fit.
With the same day SmartFix Concept, we purposefully angle and place four to six ASTRA TECH implants within the jaw bone, to which a full arch prosthesis is permanently attached. SmartFix full mouth dental implants may be ideal in cases of bone loss, since the unique angulation of implants increases bone-to-implant interface.
Overdentures combine the strategic placement of two or more dental implants with the convenience of full or partial removable dentures. This connection with implants provides heightened stability and denture retention, improving biting force and ability while eliminating denture slippage and other concerns. Conus® attachments provide an option that feels permanent but can be removed for cleaning and maintenance of implants.
The gold standard in tooth replacement, full arch dental implants are an incredibly stable, permanent solution to extensive tooth loss. Full arch dental implants in Romulus, MI offer incomparable benefits over other options:
Replacing teeth after tooth extractions is important to your oral health and smile. Prolonged tooth loss in Romulus, MI leads to bone loss, shifting of surrounding teeth, changes in bite and other problems.
Dental implants often are the ideal option for tooth replacement, as they closely mimic tooth root and crown structures. In some cases, Dr. Anderson performs “immediate implants” whereby the dental implant is placed after tooth extraction in the same visit.
This minimizes the bony arch collapse in these areas, creating a solid foundation and support for your future dental implant.
Preserving extraction sites immediately following tooth extractions may be necessary to prepare for future dental implant placement in Romulus, MI. With a socket preservation procedure, Dr. Anderson adds bone and tissue regenerative factors directly in the tooth sockets (hollowed spaces in bone left by tooth roots). This minimizes the bony arch collapse in these areas, creating a solid foundation and support for your future dental implant.
Renowned for her meticulous, minimally invasive approach to care, Dr. Anderson incorporates the latest technology into full mouth dental implants procedures. She utilizes CBCT 3D imaging and guided implant surgery for precision planning and placement of dental implants within the jaw. As a University of Michigan trained periodontist, Dr. Anderson achieved advanced training in implantology techniques, and uses the most current evidenced-based research to ensure predictable results for your smile.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed in your jawbone to replace missing teeth. They can support a single crown, a bridge, or a full arch prosthesis.
Dental implants offer many advantages over other tooth replacement options, such as dentures or bridges. Some of these benefits that dental implants provide are looking and functioning like natural teeth, preventing bone loss and preserving facial structure, and providing a durable and long-lasting solution to tooth loss.
Full mouth dental implants are a solution for replacing all or most of your teeth with a fixed prosthesis that is attached to two or more implants. At Anderson Periodontal, we provide two different types. TeethXpress® is a system that uses four to six implants per arch to support a denture that is adapted for a precise fit. SmartFix® Overdentures use four implants per arch to support a removable overdenture that snaps onto the implants.
The process of getting dental implants typically involves three main steps. During the initial consultation and exam, the dentist will evaluate your oral health, take 3D scans of your jawbone, and discuss your treatment options and expectations. Next, the dental implants will be surgically inserted into your jawbone under local anesthesia or sedation. A waiting period of three to six months may be necessary for the implants to fuse with the bone. Finally, the abutments will be attached to the implants and artificial teeth (crowns, bridge, or denture) will be placed on top of them during the implant restoration process.
Sedation dentistry helps patients relax during dental procedures with the use of medication. Two types of sedation commonly used are oral sedation and IV conscious sedation. Oral sedation involves taking a moderate sedative in pill form before an appointment to induce drowsiness while still remaining responsive to verbal communication. IV conscious sedation, administered through a vein, produces a state of semi-consciousness where patients are unaware of their surroundings and have little to no memory of the procedure. The level of sedation can be customized based on the patient’s specific needs and medical history.
Sedation dentistry can be beneficial for patients who experience anxiety, fear, or discomfort during dental visits, as well as those who have a low pain threshold, sensitive teeth, a strong gag reflex, or difficulty sitting still or staying calm. If a patient needs multiple or complex procedures, sedation dentistry can help them stay relaxed and comfortable during treatment. Dr. Anderson is certified to safely provide both oral sedation and IV conscious sedation services, ensuring that patients can receive the periodontal and implant care they need without worry.
