Reap the Benefits of Full Mouth Dental Implants
Superior Stability
Full mouth dental implants mean there is no messy denture adhesive like traditional dentures. Your denture is secured directly to the implants, allowing you to eat and speak without the risk of slippage.
Bone Retention
Dental implants can not only provide superior stability, but they also provide stimulation to the jawbone to stop or prevent the bone loss that can occur with missing teeth.
Natural Results
Implant-supported dentures look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, providing you with natural-looking results. No one will know you have dentures with full mouth dental implants.

Tooth Loss
Full mouth dental implants are designed to replace an entire arch of teeth. If you are only missing one or a few teeth, other implant-supported restorations, such as a crown or bridge, may be better for you.
Bone Density
Bone atrophy can occur with a single missing tooth. Dr. Lopez will evaluate if you have sufficient bone material to proceed with dental implant surgery. For those with significant bone loss, bone grafting can help you qualify for treatment.
Oral Health
Dental implants require a healthy foundation. If you suffer from tooth decay or gum disease, this must first be addressed to reduce your risk of complications such as implant failure and infection.
Tobacco Use
Tobacco is not only bad for your overall health, but it is bad for your oral health. It can also increase your risk of complications such as implant failure. It is best to permanently cease all tobacco use before your implant procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Full Mouth Dental Implants in Albuquerque, NM
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are made of durable titanium and can last a lifetime with proper care. Your restoration will wear over time, but can last for up to 15 years or more before needing to be reaplaced.
How do I care for my implant-supported dentures?
One of the many benefits of full mouth dental implants is that you care for them just like natural teeth. Brush and floss at least twice a day using a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Be sure to continue regular dental exams and cleanings to ensure your beautiful new smile lasts for years to come.
Are there alternatives to full mouth dental implants?
One common treatment alternative to address complete tooth loss is traditional dentures. These are also known as removable dentures. While they are a more affordable option, they can easily shift or slip, and do not prevent bone atrophy. If bone loss is an issue preventing you from qualifying for dental implants, Dr. Lopez can help rebuild areas of loss with bone grafting.
