Tooth loss can be a natural part of ageing, or it can occur as the result of disease, a health condition, oral habits or an unexpected accident or trauma. For a long time, dentures were the only solution for those with few or no teeth remaining. Today, thanks to continuing advancements in modern dentistry, full mouth Dental Implants provide a natural-looking, long-lasting and cost-effective alternative. Read on to find out if dental implants are right for you.
What happens during a full mouth dental implant?
Full mouth dental implants are designed for people who have lost all or most of their teeth. During treatment, several implants are gently embedded in the jaw, and a set of teeth is then attached to them.
Advantages of full mouth dental implants
These implants offer a variety of benefits, the most important of which is that they function, look and feel just like natural teeth. That means that with full dental implants, you can chew, talk, smile and brush just as you would normally. Plus, unlike dentures, dental implants also stimulate your jawbone and so help retain your natural face shape.
Who can get full mouth dental implants?
As dental implants are considered a surgical procedure, patients must meet certain criteria. Your dentist at Holistic Dental Melbourne CBD can discuss your suitability for dental implants with you, but in general, you must:
- Be in good health and free of certain medical conditions.
- Have a strong jawbone to support the implants.
- Have healthy gums that will heal quickly.
- Be able to handle a long-term procedure (placement may take up to 6 months, including healing time).
- Stop smoking and drink only moderately.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants will depend on a number of factors, such as the type of implant, how many implants you’re receiving, your insurance coverage and the dentist who completes the procedure. In general, however, you can expect to pay from $2,000 to $6,000 per dental implant. The intensive and complex surgery, extensive aftercare and high-quality materials all contribute to the cost.
