Comparing Fixed and Removable Tooth Replacement Options

If you’re considering removable dentures, it’s important to consider more than the cost. Unlike removable dentures that rely on suction and adhesive to stay in place, full arch dental implants become part of your jawbone, providing far greater stability and function. This permanent solution eliminates common denture issues, including irritation, discomfort, slippage, speech difficulties, undesirable facial changes, and food limitations. Full arch dental implants require the same oral care as natural teeth, so you won’t have to worry about nightly removal, cleaning, and frequent relining.

Dr. David Painter offers all-on-X full-mouth dental implants, a variation of the popular, evidence-based all-on four-to-six implant protocol. Unlike traditional dental implants, which require the placement of a separate implant for each missing tooth, the all-on-X technique relies on four to eight strategically placed implants per arch. By eliminating the need for surgical guides, the innovative Yomi® robot significantly streamlines our workflow, enabling you to get your smile back in as little as one visit.

Factors that Impact Candidacy for Full Mouth Dental Implants

When you visit Sedation & Implant Dentistry for an implant consultation, Dr. Painter will determine your suitability for full arch dental implants in Fort Wayne, IN, or Auburn, IN. If you have periodontal disease, this needs to be resolved before getting full mouth dental implants. Periodontal disease causes inflammation and infection of your gum tissue, ligaments, and bones, increasing the risk of dental implant failure. Uncontrolled diabetes and autoimmune diseases can affect your body’s ability to heal and fight infections, which can potentially prevent you from being a candidate for full mouth dental implants. Although most patients who visit our practice are candidates for dental implants, we offer preliminary procedures to help you qualify, including periodontics and bone grafting.

It’s a well-documented fact that smoking has adverse effects on oral health and negatively affects the outcome of most therapeutic procedures of the oral cavity, including implant placement. Smoking increases marginal bone loss after implant placement, the risk of peri-implantitis, and the success rates of bone grafts. While smoking isn’t an absolute disqualifier for receiving full mouth dental implants, we highly recommend quitting several weeks before and until your implants have successfully fused.
