Implants & Dentures
If you have slipping dentures and are tired of being self-conscious about the thought of losing them at an inopportune moment, a full-arch implant might be the solution for you.
Dental implants can be placed to support a full arch of teeth. This is done by strategically placing implants along the upper or lower jaw and attaching a denture-like prosthesis over abutments on the implant posts. Once placed, a full arch using implants will feel and perform like natural teeth. You will be able to chew with confidence and never have to worry again about losing your dentures.
Many adults find it difficult to wear a lower denture because their lower ridge has worn down and they hardly have any retention left. This can affect their lifestyle and health.
The All-On-4® dental implant is a cost-effective and reliable solution to this problem. In this treatment, all of the teeth in one jaw can be replaced with the use of only 4 implants connected together with the help of a bar.
The cost for this treatment can be anywhere between $20,000 and $55,000, depending on the need for bone grafting, anesthesia, the use of porcelain teeth, and other factors specific to the case.
This prosthesis is used in special situations for patients who have enough bone in the anterior regions of the lower or upper jaws but a limited amount of bone in the posterior regions and are not candidates for extensive bone grafting.
A full-arch implant is the closest you can get to having a new set of permanent teeth. It's the optimal solution for those who have lost - or are about to lose - all of their upper and/or lower teeth.
Whether All-On-4® or another full-arch configuration is the right approach depends on your individual oral health, bone structure, and treatment goals. Only a qualified clinician can determine the most suitable implant treatment plan, so we always recommend booking a no-obligation consultation to discuss the benefits, risks, and costs specific to your situation.
Some patients prefer a denture that snaps onto a smaller number of implants and can be removed for cleaning, rather than a fixed full-arch prosthesis. Implant-Supported Dentures offer many of the same stability benefits at a lower price point.
