How Many Implants Will I Need for My Implant Dentures?
In recent years, implant dentures have become the gold standard for replacing multiple teeth. Especially when crafted and placed by an experienced dentist, these restorations – which are anchored into the jawbone with dental implants – are known for their lifelike appearance and comfortable fit.* They’re often considered superior to traditional dentures in many ways; for example, they don’t require the use of messy adhesives, and they’re generally much easier to maintain and keep clean.
In addition to these benefits, implant dentures are custom-designed to meet your unique oral health needs. The number of implants used to secure your dentures will depend on several factors, from your jawbone density to the number and location of teeth that need replacement. At Austin Dental Spa, you can choose from several implant denture options, such as:
- All-on-4®. The All-on-4® method involves four strategically placed implants per arch. This strategy is often celebrated for its cost-effectiveness and ability to preserve jawbone strength.
- All-on-6. The All-on-6 technique uses six implants to anchor the restoration. Due to its added stability, the All-on-6 method is frequently recommended for patients with less jawbone density.
- A full mouth restoration. If you need to replace both arches of teeth, you may benefit from a full restoration (also known as “full mouth dental implants”).* Like all of our advanced dental implant options, this strategy can provide an extremely natural feel and look, and make everyday experiences like eating and speaking much easier.
