Full Mouth Restoration

Full mouth restoration refers to rebuilding or reconstruction of the full arch of a person’s mouth. This type of oral care treatment provides comprehensive treatment across the upper or lower (or both) arch for a range of dental problems. The aim is to improve the aesthetics and functioning of the mouth for activities like talking, chewing, or biting.

Basal dental implants are fast emerging as viable treatment options for full mouth reconstruction. It is an implantation method that uses the basal-cortical potion of the jawbone to retain the implants. This bone situated below the alveolar bone is less prone to resorption and hence can easily retain the implants for a lifetime.

Using a combination of basal implants, compression implants, and pterygoid implants, it becomes easy to do a full mouth restoration (i.e. teeth on either full upper arch, full lower arch, or on both). A full set denotes that the patient gets a total of 14 teeth on each arch, including the 2nd molars.

Procedure:
The entire procedure can be done in a matter of just 72 hours, in 4 different sittings. Here is what you can expect:

1st day –

Go through complete clinical examination like X-rays or 3D CBCT scan in preliminary assessment

2nd day –

Get the tooth extracted
Basal implants are fitted
Get fixed acrylic bridge fabricated in our hi-tech dental lab
Get the teeth impression made, to design well-fitting teeth

3rd day –

The precision-based CAD-CAM designed ceramic teeth are then fixed on the implant.

Advantages

The best part is that you don’t have to do two trips to complete the procedure. You can now get the entire process carried out in one single trip. There are other advantages offered by full mouth restoration using dental implants. The ceramics are fixed within 72 hours of the implant.
With this technique, there is no need for restrictions on talking or chewing. These implants can be placed flap-less, thus leading to more comfort and faster healing. The implants can be placed immediately after extraction; no waiting for 3-6 months now.

Its low maintenance and less risk of peri-implantitis with smooth surface basal implants make it a recommended procedure even for smokers, heart patients, diabetics, and gum disease patient. Even after the procedure, there is no need for bedrest. You can carry out all activities, though we strongly recommend to consider soft eating for first days.

Comparison with traditional dental implants

Traditional implants come with quite a few issues. With immediate loading basal implants, the entire procedure for full mouth restoration is quick and lasts a lifetime. The extraction and implant can be done in same visit, thus saving valuable time. You need not travel multiple times to finish the procedure. Now the entire process is completed within just one trip. It is a low risk, lifetime warranty process as compared to the higher risk traditional dental implants.
