Full-mouth edentulism (complete tooth loss) can be treated with several restorative solutions, depending on budget, oral health, and personal preference. Dental implants are the most durable option, offering superior stability, function, and bone preservation compared to traditional dentures.
Treatment Options for Full-Mouth Edentulism
🦷 Conventional Dentures – Removable, cost-effective, but can feel unstable over time.
🦷 Implant-Supported Dentures – Secured by implants, offering better retention than traditional dentures.
🦷 All-on-4 / All-on-6 Implants – Full-arch fixed prosthesis supported by 4–6 implants, providing a permanent, non-removable solution.
🦷 Individual Implants with Crowns – Each missing tooth is replaced with an individual implant and crown for the most natural feel and function.
