The Right Candidates for Teeth Replacement
Before a patient chooses a tooth replacement treatment, they should contact us so that we can determine if the candidate is in the right situation for the procedure. Dentures and dental implants can be ideal solutions for some, but they are not the perfect solution for all patients. Besides missing all or most teeth, patients should have enough healthy gums and jawbone for these treatment solutions.
We will help determine the most effective teeth replacement option for replacing missing or damaged teeth. Depending on the number of teeth missing, there are several possible options. Contrary to what people may think, there are a number of reasons for needing to replace missing teeth. We will evaluate the patient's current condition, medical history, and any other factors we need to customize the treatment.

Complete Dentures to Replace Teeth
There are two types of complete dentures, immediate and conventional. Once a patient has their teeth removed, the gum tissue has time to heal. Then, placement of the conventional dentures occurs eight to 12 weeks after the extraction.
The creation of immediate dentures happens ahead of time. This allows us to place this type of complete denture as soon as we remove the patient's teeth. While this option is quick, it also requires more adjustments during the healing process. Immediate dentures are only a temporary option while the laboratory creates the conventional dentures.

Implant-Supported Options
Besides dentures, there are implant-supported options to replace missing teeth. In addition to looking and functioning like natural teeth, implant-supported full bridges or dentures are also long-lasting. They can also be more comfortable and stable than conventional dentures. These benefits allow patients to have a more natural biting and chewing ability.
The dental implant process involves surgically inserting a titanium steel screw into the gum line and fusing it to the jawbone. Once the implant has fused, we place temporary healing caps and various connecting devices to attach multiple crowns to the implants. This completes the foundation on which we will place the new bridge or denture. Lastly, we will create and place the full bridge or denture and attach it to small metal posts, called abutments.

The Process of Replacing All Teeth
When a patient is ready to go forward with complete teeth replacement, our team can guide them through the process. After deciding on a complete teeth replacement, our team schedules a consultation. We evaluate the mouth and gums and take X-rays. Then, the dental provider recommends treatment. Before getting dentures or implants, our dentist will remove any other remaining teeth or diseased gum tissue.
With dentures and implants, the dentist measures the mouth before treatment begins. We take impressions to get the right dimensions for the new prosthetic. Afterward, that information goes to the lab for a custom fit. After the lab creates the dentures, they may require several fitting appointments to ensure comfort. Patients who need implants will schedule surgery to place the implants. Then, there may be an appointment to place abutments onto the posts. A few months later, the dentist places the individual implants onto the metal posts.

Replacing All Teeth
Complete teeth replacement can sound like a daunting experience. In severe cases, the spread of a cavity, tooth decay, or bacterial infections can move from one tooth to the entire mouth. A full mouth extraction is necessary when the damaged or infected teeth are no longer useful.
Luckily, various tooth replacement options are available. It is important to replace missing teeth because it can impact speech and eating and cause other problems over time. Tooth loss can also affect the jaw and facial muscles. As the mouth shifts, missing teeth can result in a changed face shape. All teeth replacement is a good option for people who want to avoid such complications.
“Once the implant has fused, we will apply a crown that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth.”
