What Are All-On-X Full Mouth Dental Implant Bridges?
It is possible to have a bridge to replace 12 or 14 teeth using multiple, full sets of dental implants for support. This type of full mouth bridge restoration is either screwed or cemented in place. Dental Implant Bridge All-On-X dental implant method can be used to restore the entire upper or lower arch of teeth in one complete bridge, and this is often called full mouth dental implants restoration or complete arch replacement. The greatest advantage of this dental implant treatment approach is that the jawbone height can be preserved as it does not require any bone reduction to make room for a bulkier denture appliance. The bridge teeth are made normal in size and height imparting the most natural appearance possible with dental implants.
With the full mouth dental implant bridge you receive a full arch bridge of teeth made to replicate your natural ones. These teeth are custom designed to restore the appearance and functionality, providing you with a biting strength like that of real teeth. The bridge teeth are not elongated or bulky but are the same size and shape as your natural teeth. The bridge is also designed to provide good support for your cheek, tongue and lip muscles, restoring the correct height between your upper and lower jaws, and preserving the natural height of your jaw bones. Adequately supporting these muscles and preserving bone structure are essential to ensure the bridge looks natural and prevents your facial features from collapsing inwards over time.
Dr. Bramanti prefers to screw retain such a large bridge in position as it is easily retrievable should it require any maintenance later. The screws go directly through the bridge but are covered up with tooth-colored composite resin, which is entirely invisible.
The exact number of implants required for the whole set of teeth implants can vary, according to whether it is a lower or upper arch of teeth and the number of replacement teeth being supported. In most cases, Dr. Bramanti will recommend the use of All-On 6-8 dental implants for greater stability, broader support in the bite (eliminating potentially complicating variables) resulting in a lifetime of use with your new teeth.
Full Mouth Dental Implant Bridges are the highest standard of full arch dental implant restorations. The full mouth dental implant bridge feels and looks like natural teeth offering superior strength, easy cleanability, a better-balanced bite, and a beautiful esthetic smile.
