However, dental implants are quickly increasing in popularity. This is due to their overall functionality and the fact that they offer higher levels of comfort. Continue reading to learn about the full arch replacements options that you may choose from when correcting your smile.

Dentures Supported by Implants

Dentures that are supported by implants are a highly secure and extremely comfortable option for patients that are missing teeth. These are designed to anchor directly within the mouth through implants that are surgically situated within the jaw.

These are widely popular because of the fact that they feel more like the natural teeth than traditional removable dentures. They are also beneficial in that they stimulate the tissue of the jawbone and prevent the loss of bone. They do not depend on any type of adhesive for placement, but may be easily removed for cleaning purposes.

All-On-4 Dental Treatments

This specially-designed full arch replacement option utilizes a total of four dental implants in order to anchor dentures within the mouth in a permanent manner. If you have been informed that you lack a sufficient amount of jawbone to appropriately accommodate dental implants, this is a perfect option because the implants that are used are very small.

Traditional Removable Dentures

Finally, you have the option of traditional dentures which may be easily removed from the mouth. These rest along the top of the gum tissue to provide a protective and natural-looking covering where teeth are no longer located. This is the least expensive, but most troublesome option of all full arch replacement options.

While it is true that the dentures look real and can help beautify the smile, you may find yourself struggling to speak properly, chew easily, experiencing limitations on that which may be consumed, and suffering from some degree of discomfort.
