Before dental implants, there were no permanent solution available
for people who lost all their teeth. Today, it is possible to replace a full jaw
with dental implants and a fixed bridge that results in a permanent, stable and
high esthetic solution.
The treatment procedure and number of visits is largely dependent
on the specific conditions. With some modern esthetic dentistry treatments the
entire treatment can take only 3-4 patient visits. Using a conventional treatment
approach, the treatment can take 6-9 visits. Most clients report that they were
much more comfortable following the procedure than they had anticipated.

The dentist determines what needs to be done and prepares both himself
and the patient for the coming treatment procedure.
|
The first step is installing dental implants to replace the lost tooth
roots. In this case, five implants are used. Temporary teeth are attached
that enable you to eat and function like normal while waiting for the
permanent bridge to be installed.
|
The final bridge is securely installed on top of the implants. With a
full jaw replacement like this, it normally takes 2-3 visits to have the
bridge completely attached.
|
Your new teeth should be hard to tell from natural - both for you and
others. People who have had traditional dentures before getting a fixed
bridge often describe this as an overwhelming and very positive experience.
