Full Mouth Dental Implants in Queens, NY

Full mouth dental implants replace all the teeth on the top, the bottom, or both. They’re usually a better solution than dentures, because implants preserve your jaw bone. The titanium screws fuse to the bone and encourage bone growth. Your Queens dentist also practices cosmetic dentistry, and knows that full dental implants look and feel more natural too.

Several dental visits are needed to complete all the steps. Full mouth dental implants usually involve these key visits:

1. Inserting the screws into your jaw.
2. Healing, which takes about six weeks.
3. Attaching the structure that holds the artificial teeth to the implants.
4. Attaching your new teeth.

We may take extra steps along the way, like fitting you with a temporary denture while you wait for healing to finish and your new custom-made teeth to be built. A full mouth dental implant is designed to fit the exact shape of your jaw and mouth. Your dentist makes sure your new teeth work as naturally as possible, and feel comfortable enough that you barely notice them.

You may need more sedation than other people, especially when we pull teeth. CitiDental of Woodhaven offers the latest in sedation dentistry for these cases. According to the American Academy of Periodontology, “Every case is different, and some of these steps can be combined when conditions permit. Your dental professional works with you to determine the best treatment plan.”

For many people, full dental implants are a much better option than bridges or dentures. The American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) reports that: “Dental implants are increasingly becoming a popular alternative to dentures and bridges.”

The AAID points to these benefits of full mouth dental implants:

1. Offering the most natural appearance.
2. Being a great long-term investment in your health.
3. Helping to maintain the bones in your jaw.
4. Leaving your gums cleaner and healthier than even natural teeth.
5. Allowing you to speak clearly without whistles or clicking sounds.
6. Being able to leave them in overnight.
7. Requiring no special solutions for soaking.
8. Serving as the longest-lasting, most durable full mouth tooth replacement system.

After getting a complete smile makeover, you should adjust to your new teeth quickly. Smiling, speaking clearly, chewing, and biting will feel natural again, with little thought or effort. Caring for full dental implants is much like caring for the natural teeth you had before.

Brush regularly, floss daily, and eat a healthy diet to keep your implants healthy. Full dental implants are made of resin or ceramic instead of enamel, so they’re more durable than your natural teeth. Your gums still need extra care too, since they’re still open to bacteria. You’ll want extra visits to your dentist right after getting your implants, to make sure your new teeth are serving you well.

Costs vary a lot, depending on several factors. Your dental team goes over payment options with you before the procedure begins. A full dental implant treatment is a fairly big process, with several steps, such as:

1. X-rays.
2. CT scans.
3. Computer modeling.
4. Teeth extractions.
5. Interventions from a number of specialists.
6. Checkups as your mouth heals.
7. Payment for materials involved.

Your dentist is committed to finding teeth replacement options that suit you best. You may be offered several payment options to help cover what your insurance doesn’t.
