When it comes to teeth replacement options, there are quite a few options, from fixed options like dental implants to \u2018removable teeth\u2019 in the form of dentures. While removable options are available and popular, we believe dental implants are the best way of replacing teeth, because they support the density of the jaw, have great longevity and help to restore function and confidence! But, if you have multiple missing teeth, and want to replace them with dental implants is that a good idea? Does having a full mouth of dental implants<\/a> impact your health? While a singular tooth implant sounds manageable, replacing teeth with dental implants throughout your mouth in their multiples can sound pretty scary! Let\u2019s unravel this together.<\/p>\n

Does having a full mouth of dental implants impact your health?<\/strong>
\nFirstly, we\u2019re going to assume that you are a good candidate for dental implants, this usually means you have enough bone density in your jaw to support a dental implant, no active gum disease, and an otherwise healthy mouth. Your dentist will be able to determine all of these things in your consultation so don\u2019t worry about that! With an implant specialist a lot can be achieved.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Once that\u2019s covered, the safety of dental implants is very much clear. Replacing teeth with dental implants is considered safe. There are of course some risks, as with any surgery or treatment, such as nerve damage, implant failure and infection, but this risk doesn\u2019t necessarily increase with multiple implants, infact multiple or full mouth dental implants are common.<\/p>\n

There are some considerations that should be taken into account when having multiple dental implants, the main one being you may experience a slightly different dental implant recovery process. Extra care will need to be taken as you are not just avoiding impacting one site, but multiple or your entire mouth. You may find that the discomfort after your treatment could be higher due to more sites of implants and healing happening at once, however your dentist will prescribe you painkillers and potentially antibiotics to prevent the risk of infection.
\nDon\u2019t let this put you off, replacement of missing teeth can be overwhelming, especially if it\u2019s your full mouth, but your dentist will have a plan for you.<\/p>\n

One important point is that you may require your implants to be done at the same time if you are opting for a fixed denture method of implants, called all on four dental implants. This treatment uses just four or six dental implants to support a permanent denture. Often this is done for people who may not be able to have a full mouth of dental implants. So, if you\u2019re offered multiple dental implants in one treatment, whether for an all on four treatment or not, you can be sure that the process is safe. We should point out at this stage that finding a dentist who is a specialist in dental implants and replacing teeth is key to making the right decision for you.<\/p>\n

In summary, multiple or full mouth dental implants shouldn\u2019t be ruled out as a bad idea, not only are they essential in some treatment plans but there are benefits for some people. Be sure to speak to your dentist about your options for replacement of missing teeth, and what the after care process will be so you have a complete picture before opting for treatment.<\/p>\n

What do dental implants cost?<\/strong>
\nIf you\u2019re looking to have dental implants, you may be wondering the cost of dental implants. NHS treatment doesn\u2019t typically cover implants unless medically necessary, so it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll need to opt for private treatment.
