Multiple Teeth Replacement
Lincoln Park, NJ
 Multiple teeth replacement with dental implants is a solution for patients with missing teeth. Whether the losses are caused by decay, trauma, or other issues, the impact of tooth loss extends beyond looks.
Tooth loss also affects oral function, overall health, and self confidence. Dental implants from The Implant Center at Comprehensive Dental offer a durable and natural looking solution for patients that restores their smile and normal chewing and speaking functions.
Dental Implants: Where Do I Start?
The process of multiple teeth replacement with implants starts with a surgical procedure where titanium posts are placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Titanium is biocompatible, meaning that it bonds with the jawbone and forms a strong, stable foundation for prosthetic teeth.
This bonding process is called osseointegration, and is critical for the long term success of dental implants. During osseointegration, the bone fuses with the implants over time, which creates a secure anchor for a restoration.
The Advantages of Multiple Teeth Replacement With Implants
Arguably, the biggest advantage of multiple teeth replacement with implants is regaining oral function, chewing and speaking. Dental implants provide stability and support that traditional bridges and dentures don't. Patients enjoy a diverse diet without the problems of slippage or discomfort that come with removable prosthetics. That improved chewing promotes better digestion and nutrition, and impacts overall health positively.
In addition, dental implants preserve bone density in the jaw. Tooth loss leads to bone resorption, where the jawbone deteriorates over time due to the lack of stimulation from tooth roots. Dental implants mimic natural tooth roots, stimulate the jawbone, and prevent resorption. This maintains the patient's facial structure. It prevents the sunken or sagging appearance that comes after extensive tooth loss.
 Custom Implant Restorations
Dental implants are versatile. There are many different tooth replacement prosthetics, and each one is customized to the specific needs of each individual patient. Implant replacement can range from a single tooth to a few consecutive teeth, or even an entire arch.
Implant supported crowns, bridges, or dentures offer a customized solution that mimics the natural teeth of the patient. The prosthetic teeth are carefully crafted to match the shape, color, and size of natural teeth. This customization creates a seamless final result.
Candidacy For Dental Implants
The success of multiple teeth replacement with implants depends on proper patient selection, thorough treatment planning, and the oral hygiene habits of the patient.
Candidates for dental implants must have sufficient bone density to support the implants. All on 4 candidates may be able to undergo the procedure even with substantial bone loss.
Also, diligent maintenance of oral health is required for long term success. The first step toward implants is a comprehensive assessment where our team determines if a patient is suitable for the procedure.
The Lower Cost of Implants Over Time
The initial cost of multiple teeth replacement with implants is higher than other options, but the long term benefits and durability make them more cost effective over time. Bridges and dentures require adjustments and must be replaced much more frequently, and those costs add up over time.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, and provide a reliable solution for patients who want a lasting solution. Call us in Lincoln Park today at (973) 578-6377. |
