Restore Your Smile and Oral Health with Personalized Tooth Replacement Solutions
Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance—they can compromise your ability to chew, speak, and maintain good dental health. At Atlas Dental Specialists, our cosmetic dentists offer a range of advanced tooth replacement options, including full arch dental implants and implant-supported dentures, to help you regain functionality and confidence. Our practice serves Pittsburgh with personalized care tailored to your needs, ensuring long-lasting results for a healthier, natural-looking smile.
What Are Advanced Tooth Replacement Options?
Advanced tooth replacement involves using innovative prosthetics and implants to replace missing teeth or an entire arch of teeth. These solutions go beyond traditional dentures by integrating dental implants, which act as artificial roots to provide stability and support. Options range from removable overdentures to permanent implant-supported prosthetics, each designed to restore functionality and aesthetics.
Replacing missing teeth is not only important for appearance but also for maintaining the health of your jawbone and surrounding teeth. Dental implants stimulate the bone, preventing bone loss, and ensure your replacement teeth function like natural teeth.
Our advanced techniques provide options to suit your lifestyle and preferences, giving you the freedom to choose the best solution for your comfort and oral health goals.
Why Consider Full Arch Dental Implants?
Full arch dental implants offer a modern solution for patients with several missing teeth or a full arch of missing teeth. This innovative approach provides many benefits over traditional dentures:
- Stability and Comfort: Implant-supported dentures or prosthetics eliminate slipping, ensuring a secure and natural fit.
- Improved Functionality: Enjoy chewing, speaking, and smiling with confidence, as implants provide support comparable to natural teeth.
- Preservation of Bone Health: Implants prevent bone loss in the jaw, maintaining facial structure and oral health over time.
Whether you’re seeking a removable overdenture or a fixed permanent option, full arch dental implants offer a reliable and long-lasting way to restore your smile.
Exploring Your Replacement Options
Implant Overdenture
An implant overdenture is an excellent choice for patients who prefer a removable option. This solution involves placing two to four implants in the jaw, allowing the denture to snap securely into place. While there may still be minor movement, this option provides significantly more stability than traditional dentures.
For enhanced support, implants can be connected using a custom-made bar. This bar attaches to the internal retention mechanisms of the denture, offering superior stability with minimal movement. Implant overdentures are easy to remove for cleaning, making them a practical and convenient option.
Permanent Denture
A permanent denture offers a fixed solution for full arch tooth replacement. This approach involves placing five or more implants in the jaw to hold the prosthesis in place. Unlike traditional dentures, a permanent denture does not rest on the gums but is supported entirely by the implants.
This option provides maximum stability and comfort, closely mimicking the feel of natural teeth. Cleaning may require additional care and dexterity, but many patients prefer the seamless look and functionality of a fixed prosthetic.
Benefits of Advanced Tooth Replacement
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Replace missing teeth with natural-looking prosthetics that blend seamlessly with your smile.
- Better Oral Health: Prevent bone loss and preserve the health of surrounding teeth with implant-supported solutions.
- Customized Comfort: Choose from removable or fixed options based on your lifestyle and preferences.
Our advanced tooth replacement options are designed to improve your quality of life, providing a durable and functional solution for missing teeth.
