Full-Mouth Dental Implants in Nashville TN
If you have many missing, broken, loose, or failing teeth, full-mouth dental implants in Nashville TN can provide an alternative to replacing each tooth individually or relying entirely on traditional removable dentures.
At Dental Design Studios in Nashville, TN, we provide full-arch implant treatment from planning and implant placement through the final restoration.
What Are Full-Mouth Dental Implants?
Full-mouth dental implant treatment uses multiple dental implants to support replacement teeth.
Instead of placing an implant for every missing tooth, a carefully planned number of implants can support an entire upper or lower arch of teeth.
This is commonly called full-arch dental implant treatment.
What Is All-on-4?
All-on-4 is a treatment concept in which a complete arch of replacement teeth is supported by strategically positioned dental implants.
Despite the name, not every patient should necessarily receive exactly four implants. Implant number and position should be determined according to the patient's bone, anatomy, bite, and restorative needs.
Can You Get Full-Mouth Dental Implants in One Day?
Some patients can have failing teeth removed, implants placed, and a fixed temporary restoration delivered on the same day.
This is sometimes referred to as same-day teeth, teeth in a day, or immediate-load full-arch implant treatment.
The temporary teeth protect the implants and provide appearance and function during healing. A final restoration is typically completed after the implants have healed.
Not everyone qualifies for immediate loading.
Full-Arch Implant Treatment Under One Roof
Dental Design Studios provides full-arch implant treatment in-house, including treatment planning, implant placement, and restoration.
Our office uses technology including:
- 3D CBCT imaging
- Digital intraoral scanning
- Dental CAD technology
- 3D printing
- Dental milling technology
Keeping multiple stages of treatment within one practice can help coordinate the surgical and restorative portions of care.
IV Sedation for Full-Mouth Implant Treatment
Full-mouth implant procedures can involve multiple extractions and implant placement.
IV sedation is available for appropriate patients who prefer sedation during extensive dental treatment.
Your medical history and individual circumstances must be evaluated to determine whether IV sedation is appropriate.
Can I Get Full-Mouth Implants If I Have Bone Loss?
Possibly.
Bone loss does not automatically prevent someone from receiving dental implants. Available bone varies significantly from person to person.
A 3D CBCT scan allows the dentist to evaluate bone volume and important anatomical structures before recommending treatment.
Some patients may require grafting or a different implant approach.
Full-Mouth Dental Implants vs. Dentures
Traditional dentures are removable and primarily supported by the gums.
Implant-supported teeth use dental implants anchored in the jawbone for support.
Depending on the design, implant-supported restorations can be removable or fixed. A fixed full-arch restoration remains attached to the implants and is removed by a dental professional when necessary.
How Much Do Full-Mouth Dental Implants Cost in Nashville TN?
The cost of full-mouth dental implants in Nashville varies considerably depending on:
- Number of implants
- Number of extractions
- Bone availability
- Need for grafting
- Sedation
- Complexity of surgery
- Temporary restoration
- Material used for the final teeth
At Dental Design Studios, we believe patients should understand what is included in their treatment plan before beginning treatment.
What Are Zirconia Full-Arch Teeth?
Zirconia is a strong ceramic material frequently used for final full-arch implant restorations.
The final teeth can be designed to provide appropriate tooth shape, proportions, color, and function for the individual patient.
