Full Mouth Dental Implant Options - Portland, OR

Options for Your Smile’s Second Chance

Dentures Are No Longer the Default

If you’re one of the millions of people across the country suffering from missing teeth, you’re likely familiar with the uncomfortable, unsightly, and often embarrassing daily smile situations. Fortunately, with a dental implant procedure at We Fix Smiles in Portland, OR, it’s easy to put these debilitating limitations behind you.

Even if you’re someone who currently wears dentures, dental implants can offer a newfound life full of confidence, renewed self-esteem, and long-lasting happiness. Implants are permanently anchored to the jaw, meaning they remain in place in the mouth and never move or slip over time. This allows you to smile again confidently and eat the foods you love most with the confidence you deserve.

Redefining Smile Restoration Options

Single Dental Implants

Single dental implants are most common if a patient experiences impact trauma to a single tooth. A single implant comprises three parts: the implant post, the abutment, and the restoration (prosthetic tooth). First, the rigid titanium post is surgically placed in the jaw. This is an anchor and provides a permanent foundation for the replacement tooth. The abutment is a small piece that connects the replacement tooth to the securely anchored implant post.

Implant Supported Bridges

Implants can also be used if a patient is missing several adjacent teeth. While a traditional dental bridge has several crowns glued together, an implant-supported bridge utilizes the strength and durability of one or more implant anchors to provide far superior rigidity, durability, and functionality. Implant-supported bridges provide a far more secure and durable repair than a dental bridge.

Implant Supported Dentures

Suppose you are missing numerous teeth but are working on a limited budget. In that case, implant-supported dentures are a fantastic alternative representing a middle-ground between traditional dentures and fixed, full mouth dental implants. Dr. Conklin will install four or more implant posts in the jaw when placing implant-supported dentures. Once these implants permanently fuse with the jawbone, a custom set of dentures is securely attached. Implant-supported dentures offer numerous benefits, like full arch implants at a much lower cost.

Full Mouth Dental Implants

Full arch dental implants use four to six implant posts to permanently anchor a brand-new set of restoration teeth. Unlike dentures which speed up bone loss due to constant friction on the gums, full arch implants provide strength and support to the maxilla (jawbone) and can even help restore distorted bone structure and muscle fatigue in the face. Full arch dental implants will never slip or move over time, unlike dentures. This makes them a vastly superior option compared to any other missing tooth procedure. Regarding healing time, full mouth dental implants generally take three to four months to fuse with the jaw permanently. However, Dr. Conklin will place a fully functional temporary restoration arch on the same day of your surgery.
