“It’s Nice Being Able to Smile Around People Again!“
Whether you have tooth loss caused by gum disease, severe decay, or trauma, you’ve likely experienced a hit to your oral health, general health, and emotional well-being. Bacteria accumulates in the gaps, and adjacent teeth slowly shift to fill the gap, altering your bite. Tooth loss can make it challenging to eat nutritiously while compensating by eating on one side of your mouth, which can subject the remaining teeth to abnormal friction and wear.
If you’re entirely edentulous (toothless) or have many failing teeth that require extraction, All-on-X full mouth dental implants in Missoula, MT, are a long-lasting, natural-looking solution that will remedy the many consequences of tooth loss! This streamlined full arch dental implant protocol enables restoring your smile on the same day as surgery.
Traditional dentures are fabricated from acrylic, sit on top of your gums, are removable, and require a combination of suction and denture adhesive to stay in place. Due to progressive bone loss, traditional dentures often cause gum irritation, clicking, and slippage and can fall out while eating or speaking. Implant-supported dentures provide greater stability and can be designed as a removable or fixed prosthesis.
All-on-X full mouth dental implants are a variation of the popular All-on-4 to 6 protocol that rely on four or more strategically positioned implants to support new teeth. In many cases, we can fit you with temporary teeth the same day as surgery that you’ll wear while your full arch dental implants fuse with your underlying jawbone. All-on-X full arch dental implants in Missoula, MT, eliminate issues associated with traditional dentures, prevent bone loss and undesirable facial changes, allow you to eat your favorite foods, and require the same care as natural teeth!
Our implant dentist, Dr. Tyler Bond, has in-depth expertise to help you become an ideal candidate for full mouth dental implants in Missoula, MT. All-on-X full mouth dental implants maximize the use of available bone with a minimum of four strategically placed implants per arch, often bypassing the need for bone grafting.
At your consultation, Dr. Bond will perform an oral exam and diagnostics to determine if you have any issues that need to be resolved, such as untreated gum disease. Tobacco use is associated with a higher risk of implant failure, so we recommend refraining from smoking for a few months before surgery and until the implants have fully integrated with your underlying bone.
